 Helen came to see me on Tuesday but tested positive before they let her in the door, so that was exciting. We managed a brief visit through my bedroom window. C. came today, and she passed. 

Life continues to follow its tranquil course. C. brought me some salad dressing which is going to be very useful. And the knitting continues well. Three inches altogether, so far. Fourteen are required to the underarm, if I resist the temptation KD offers to knit a cropped version. Perhaps I should set myself a target of 3” a day. Tomorrow there is a “knitting class” on the schedule. I’ll have to turn out for that.

I had a physiotherapy class on Tuesday and continue to do the exercises I have been set. I haven’t much hope of a miraculous transformation.

  1. I think miraculous transformations are for the young. I am just happy to hang on to basic mobility.
    It sounds like all is going well.

  2. Agreeing with Judy, transformations are rarely miraculous, but slow and steady. Keep it up and I suspect that by the time you are ready to go home, you will see a difference. Maybe make a note of things each day so you can see progress, no matter how small? Glad you are back to knitting!!

  3. Glad you have solved the salad dressing situation; is it time to bend your mind to the free brew coffee crisis? A Nespresso machine in your room, perhaps!

  4. A knitting class? You will be the star pupil in this one. I recently attended a "Knit and natter" - the very title makes me cringe - at my local church, not holding out great hopes. So, yes, there were some knitting blanket squares, but others were on complete sturdy jumpers for good causes. I'll be giving it another go next week.

    Slow and steady works better for most things, including knitting. I hope Helen is all right. Knitting class could go anywhere - from physiotherapy for hand movements to, given the average age, some surprising things like the jumper you're making.

  6. Somehow, I still hope for miraculous transformation, especially by just reading about the strength exercises I should be doing. I look forward to hearing about the knitting group.

    I'm agreeing with Kirsten. I've often thought that a Nespresso machine would be a great gift for someone in a residence. Ellis Lynn
