Wallowing in Self Pity

I'm wearing my thumb brace again. The fleshy part below that digit is sore and any type of gripping motion is excruciatingly painful. I don't know what caused it this time; maybe cutting up a watermelon? or lifting out a heavy window to clean it? I do know it wasn't knitting. I just haven't been doing enough of that. I'm not liking the Chrysanthemmumm Shawl as much as I thought I would so I haven't been working on it as much as I normally would and I don't want to work on anything else until this shawl is finished. Oh well, it gives me a good excuse to transfer more yarn from the basement upstairs to my craft room. I was hoping I could use it to get DH to cook supper tonight but he has no sympathy for me. At lunch today I said, "Remember how my thumb was aching yesterday?" and just before he shovelled another spoonful of stew into his mouth he ended the conversation with, "No."

I agree with you, No way it could be your knitting! Must be the house work and cleaning

Tell hubby your thumb interferes with cooking. My left thumb aches every time I try certain pieces on the piano. Trying to work it out.

Mr. Tbend injured one of the fingers on his bowling hand, and he doesn't know how he did it, but usually he's very careful of that hand. He would probably be sympathetic.

I'm knitting very slowly and carefully. I hope Mr Tbend can still bowl.

Just feel as sorry for yourself as you want to. There's nothing like a little good old fashioned pitty party to get your thumb better in no time.

Take it easy, Marg. Finish the shawl so you can get back to something you like. We're on a mini vacation at the beach. I've been working on a pair of socks for a soon to be newborn in our church, but I had to stop. People kept stopping to stare at me on the beach today, so I'll do my knitting privately. All the staring kind of embarrassed Jenn. I don't blame her.
