I am a Pincushion
If you're not interested in my medical chat please skip this post, I just wanted to give a quick update for everyone who wished me well this week :)
I went back to the doctor today because my "hives" looked incredibly scary this morning and found out that my allergy is actually a bacterial infection (ewwww) that probably got in through a broken mozzie bite on my foot so I get to play at being a pincushion for the next few days (I have to go to the clinic every day for intravenous antibiotics for 3-5 days).
This is good because I know it will definitely go away and I won't have to worry about it coming back. Yay! Plus I had a lovely chat with the nurse today because she's a knitter so it was kind of fun rather than dead boring. If you can't knit with a needle in your arm, talking about knitting with another knitter is just as good.
So that's my little update. I thought I'd post to let folks know because I won't be blogging again until I feel totally better, but then my sister is visiting so I won't be blogging then either and I didn't want you all to think I was dead in a heap of red bumps or anything :)
Now if I just knew of a fibre craft I could do with one hand. Hmmm, maybe I should take my weaving book to read!
PS: When your Mum tells you not to scratch mosquito bites, PAY ATTENTION!

You could knit Shetland-style, with one needle under your armpit.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
