I haven’t knitted since June 22. Eight days in the hospital then nine days at home; I’m still healing - just differently. I’ve gone from wheelchair to walker to cane. I’ve been obsessed with a video game. I have continued to lose weight and try to eat but it’s rough. I’ve lost more weight but we see the GI team tomorrow. . Knitting was lost to me during this flare, those fingers just couldn’t dance anymore. It takes a chunk of me every time I lose it, and getting back into just reminds me how quickly it can be gone. This coupled with the isolation bc of my immune system is messing with my brain a bit. . A #charityhat is perfect, I hope, to at least get my mind off myself. I need to be useful in any way I can right now, I need to feel like me. . Till then IGers, may your days be full of things you love and your wips are well behaved. . #knit #knitting #knittersofinstagram #halosofhope #alpaca #wool #charitybeanie #knittoheal #knitallthethings #knitallthehats #osubuckeye #yarn #yarnporn #fairisleknitting
