Recuperating

Bex is getting over a really nasty chest infection that has needed serious amounts of prescription medicine. I've managed (so far) to escape that, but am still not all there physically. I had a really nasty muscle spasm in my leg two nights ago. It was a burning cramp-like pain, but not the sort of cramp you can stretch out or massage away. It affected my upper and lower leg at the same time (so not a spasm in a single muscle, which is what cramp usually is), and was so painful it made me cry. I couldn't move my leg for hours, and all the next day it was really rigid - I couldn't bend my knee or put any weight on it. Today my ankle is stiff and weak at the same time, and my knee is still a bit sore, but it does seem to finally be loosening up. I may have to break out the walking stick again. I haven't had to use it since last summer, but I have important meetings tomorrow, so HAVE to go to work.

As I was resting yesterday, I was able to finish off another baby garment for Tori - this time it's a cardigan, with a lime / jade speckle. I managed to find perfect matching buttons, which make it a little "out of the ordinary". I'm really enjoying this knitting. Next up is a little hoodie jacket. Watch this space.
