midgeling: life in a shoe.

Holy hell, this hurts. My back is still messed up. "Vertebral degeneration" sucks. I get to seew the chiro 3 times a week and hopefully squeeze in a massage. The muscle spasms have been most unpleasant. At least I can still knit, as long as I make sure that I keep my left arm supported.

I gave my mom and sister their Christmas gifts that I knit. I also made Kasey (my sorta-sister cause she's my brother's ex) a pair of red wool fingerless mitts. They turned out okay. Not perfect cause I designed and knit them while in a percocet haze. I had to laugh as I was knitting the second mitt because I had to knit in the same pattern mishaps (like the second pattern repeat had to have an extra plain round inserted before the twisted stitches) so that the two would match.

Mom and Laura seemed to like their socks and Kasey really seemed to like her mitts. In my haze of trying to ignore the back spasms, I forgot to take photos of the stupid finished mitts. Hopefully I will remember to take pictures of Kasey wearing them on Friday when they head back up to Seattle from Porkland.

I called the doc to ask for something to kill the spasms at night while I (try to) sleep. I hope she will call in a prescription. Now I need to lose 30 lbs and get a boob reduction, lol. Things can never be simple, can they?
