The Saga Continues
Last week, I recounted the ways that my world has been falling apart, and while I had a brief reprieve over the holiday weekend...
...the crumbling recommenced even before we got in the car to come home...
...and continues as I type: hurrying up and waiting to schedule each day around appointments at hospitals and doctor’s offices, making hard choices in the wake of a collaborative collapse, watching helplessly as people I love suffer.
My nephew’s mom is still not completely clear of a big-C diagnosis. One of my former students called in shambles this morning. Old Goat is wrestling with his own challenges, and we’re both tired.
A pile of crisis has slowly grown at my feet, and my only choice is to keep climbing.
The Upside
On the upside, Carmine’s most recent blood work returned completely normal, so we’re all resting a bit more easily...
...especially him.
I’ve regained use of almost all of my fingers as the swelling and bruising from last week’s hound-melee has slowly waned, but I’m still not able to use the indigo-tinged finger to keep tension on my yarn. As a continental knitter, this is devastating...
...but not insurmountable. With a six-hour ride in the car ahead of me on Friday, I had a choice: languish in knitless misery or finagle a way to make stitch happen English style.
Even with all of the fiddling and fumbling, I still wish the rest of my dilemmas were that easy.
