Hi, Everyone. Thanks so much for your kind words and thoughts.
Tomorrow, I’m getting an MRI done and then on Monday I’ll get an EEG done in my neurologist’s office and have an appointment with her right after. I guess my doctor needs some more info before we decide what to do next.
What with the loss of consciousness that my seizures bring on, I’m off driving again. So my mom is taking me to the imaging place in the morning and we’re going to hang out for the rest of the day until my husband gets home from work. Which is good, because I’m pretty much terrified of being along right now. Even going into an empty room when other people are at home makes me nervous. What happens with my seizures is that my brain stops recording events during them, so immediately after the seizure is over I have amnesia and get very disoriented. No shaking or anything, just the very scary disorientation. Before when I had seizures, I was completely out of it and my mom or husband told me what happened after. But on Sunday I sort of knew what was happening and that was terrifying. I had three seizures through out the day and I pretty much had a panic attack during each one.
So I’ve been doing my best to relax, which is surprisingly hard to do. It’s challenging not to think “man, there are a million things I should be doing right now.” Mostly I’ve been knitting, but I need to back off a bit since my muscles and joints are getting sore. Yesterday I finished my first pair of socks (well the first pair since I decided to get really good at knitting socks). They turned out to be a test-run, though. They’re too big for me, but they are perfect on my mom. I’m really glad about that, too. I think she deserves a treat for being so great about taking me to appointments and stuff.

Soon it’s time to purchase to pattern ^-^

whoa. aside from the usual “best wishes for a speedy recovery” blah blah blah, do not feel guilty about taking it easy!!! i totally understand your frustration, having had to do several weeks worth of bed-rest not that long ago, but just try to think of taking it easy as your new job. there will be plenty of time to do all the things you love to do once you get this all figured out. i hope your upcoming doctor’s visit is fruitful and they can get a plan in place for you.

Hi Beth,
Thanks for your kind words. I guess it’s not easy to find the comments section in my blog, since everything is in Hebrew, but I’m glad you liked my gurumies. Your book is great – so informative and detailed, and of course – the designs are great.
I used skeleton fish’s tails in the mermaids (the second is a merboy).
Get well soon,
Yael

Hi Elisabeth,
are all out there.
I’m very sad to hear that you are not doing well. Just wanted to let you know that your work has been a great inspiration for me. Ever since the robot published in Craft 1, I have been hooked on Amigurumi. For me it has been a great way to unleash my creative energies in projects that are small enough to work on just in evening hours. If you want to see my result check; http://www.flickr.com/knitbitch. Keep up the positive spirit, and know that we (your fans
