GourmetAmigurumi

Well, I went to my doctor’s appointment on Monday and everything checked out fine.  The MIR and the EEG where normal.  My doctor said that she thinks I had the seizures because I missed a few pills (for which I feel pretty stupid to tell you the truth).  And when I was at her office I thought “well yeah, OK, that makes sense” and I felt really happy that I won’t need anyone to cart my ass around because I will be able to drive after all.  But on the way home I started to have my doubts.  I mean, over the last 2 seizure free years I haven’t been perfect about my meds.  I’m not sure that anyone could be perfect for that long.  So why all of a sudden did missed pills make such a big difference?  And so now I’m feeling all worried again. I know I could call to ask her about this, but I see her in a few weeks and since lots of conversations are better in person, I’ll ask her then.  In the meantime my husband, Terry, and my mom will humor me by playing chauffeur.

Last week I took everyone’s advice and did my best to relax.  Which is surprisingly hard to do.  But like I mentioned before, I adore knitting so it was easy for me fill my time.  For days on end I clenched my teeth and struggled to breath easily while working my way through socks and hats, lace and sweaters.  On Friday the leisure time finally started to kick in and I felt much better, just a little bit uneasy.  Which was a huge improvement over a few days before when walking into an empty room made me feel like hyperventilating. And yesterday I was ready to spent a bit of time in my studio.  I say “spend time” as apposed to “working”  because I did as much Ravelry browsing as I did actual amigurumi related stuff.  Buy hey, I showed up   I did make some progress on the owl pattern by taking some of the insturctional photos and I think they turned out pretty well.  So today I think I’ll insert them in the pattern and write the instructions that go with them.  If I’m able to get a good amount of that done I’ll be happy.
