it's not a toooomah.

So, you see, I knit a LOT on the weekend. It's a knitting retreat. You're SUPPOSED to knit a lot. It was fun!

But I woke up Sunday morning with a completely numb right arm from fingertip to elbow. Numb like rubbah. Really, really creepy and I kind of panicked. Stopped knitting for 3 days. Moaned and worried a lot. The numbness went away, but it was still sore.

Saw the specialist yesterday. It's tennis elbow, probably from hauling luggage on all these trips I've been taking (and packing too heavily). I'm such a goof.

But I did bring my knitting so she could check my technique in case it was part of what hurt me, and am relieved to report that it is in no way involved, that it's not making it worse (so I can continue to knit my swatches for teee-veeee*). And that my doctor said I have an exceptionally wrist-friendly knitting position.

I was quite proud of that.

Ice, stretching, muscle-strengthening exercises, one of them epicondylitis bandages and I should be back to meself in a while. Oh, Jeeves? Could you haul my bags for me?

*Sorry, Steph.
