When not knitting

No gold medals for me
I'm sad to say that I been thrown out of the olympics.I was doing so good, I was on fire, by friday afternoon I had the body of the sweater just before attaching the sleeves complete and was thinking of casting the said sleeves after I came home that night, sadly that never happened. My night finished on the ER room and I was down for appendectomy, I hardly had any pain but I was on somewhat critical condition(Im fine now btw, just bedbound). I had to endure 4 days in the hospital with no knitting at all, yes I was in bed and not in enough pain or drugs to not want to knit, but there was a 1 inch needle lodged in my wrist and attateched to my hand feeding me and giving me medicines all the time, I tryed to knit but it just plain hurt, and when the nurse saw me trying to knit she told me to rest my hand.
So that's it for my olympic carrer, I can't gain 4 precious days back, I have half a sleeve done but Im not really motivated anymore, not even to post my advanced body or the photo of my appendix that my doctor e-mailed me (and it's too gross anyway hehe).

So sorry about your appendix. I'm sure you would have made the medal without this "injury". I love your Odessa, it's such a gorgeous colour and looks lovely on you.

Thank you all for your good wishes, I'm doing good just still a little weak. As for the sweater is almost finished, only neck shaping and finishing to go. I would have done it on time, oh well, I almost have a beautiful sweater anyway :)

oh no! I hope you are feeling better. Those are the types of things that get in the way of an olympic dream ... :)
Take care of yourself and hopefully you will be back to knitting in no time!

About me
Oh my goodness! Speedy recovery to you. That is not fair. I think you should get an Olympic extension of 4 days.
