Yeah! My wrist is fully flexible and I have enough risidual energy at the end of the day to knit again!
My first project is a fitting one...
The CPAP machine delivers me humidified (heated, moist) air via a 6-7' tube about 1" in diameter. The tube is not insulated, so the air loses it's warmth (and associated moisture) on the way to my personal intake valves (mouth, nose). So I'm making a narrow scarf to wrap around the tube.
I have chosen an appropriately branded wool - Sean Sheep (so I can count them as I'm drifting off). It was on special from BigW, 6 balls which I think should do it for only $2 each.
I'm still trying out patterns, and thinking about double or single stranded...
I've got 3 balls each of Napier in eggplant and ruby twist Armytage.
Yeah! I'm knitting again!

Tonight's the Night!
Woo Hoo!
The two weeks of hell is over, today I get my CPAP machine.
I just checked with the pharmacy where I can rent before I buy, and they are open until 9pm, so that won't be a problem, even if the Sleep Doc is running really late, as opposed to just standard late...
And there is a gluten-free pizza place - "Town & Country Pizza" just around the corner from the pharmacy, so I think I'll have to try them for dinner.
And you may not have noticed :), but I'm typing much faster too!
Yep - I'm officially two-handed again. The Wrist Doc is amazed at how fast I have progressed back towards full movement and strength, but then I mentioned the knitting and he nodded sagely. Spinning the wrist (the movement you would do if swinging a cat by its tail..) still hurts a little - and this is what I need for knitting. But I think it is good enough now to start the my self-funded knitting therapy - once I'm not so tired anymore that I'd drop stitches and get frustrated - so that'll be tomorrow!
Amazing how it has all come together at once!
In house news, all the valuations got done and the bank agrees we *can* actually afford the new house :) I fear there are still many, many signatures needed, however, before we actually get to the moving in part...
That's all for now, move along... :)
