Another Month Has Gone By....

and I am still working on the QAL shawl. Well, not right now, as I have 2 of my fingers splinted together. Tuesday I tripped over the humidifier in the hallway and didn't quite catch myself with my hand. Instead, I managed to dislocate my ring finger on my right hand. Spent 4 hours in the ER getting x-rays, feeling stupid, getting peeled off the ceiling when they popped it back in place cause that took the pain level from a nice throbbing 3 to off the chart bad, more x-rays to make sure that it was indeed back in place, and a wonderful splint that doesn't allow my to use my middle or ring finger..all for 100.00. Wednesday saw me back at the hospital seeing their Ortho clinic where they resplinted and referred me on to an Ortho specialist. Today I saw the specialist who (for the low cost of a 25.00 office visit) removed the splint, taped the 2 fingers together and referred me on to physical therapy at...you guessed it...the hospital. 2 nights of taking vicodin has revealed a slight reaction to the meds, so won't be taking them again. Still watching babies, so occasional bumps to the swollen knuckle are to be expected.
Frustrated that I missed yet another night of knitting group, I started a straight knit scarf of larger needles. I tried working on the sock, but couldn't hold the yarn tight enough to keep tension.
Went to visit my newest granddaughter (and her parents..lol) this past weekend. My she is growing so fast! The first year goes by so quickly it seems. Her colic is better as dd-i-l is drinking camimile tea everyday. Seems to pass thru the breast milk and soothe dgd. Not a big napper tho. Short cat naps are all she seems to get during the day. She laughs and coos and loves looking at her toys. DD-i-l told me her doctor said she was beyond her age in some areas, which is good.
Got my package from my Igorina swap partner. Still finding little things to tuck into the box I am sending her. This turned out to be a good swap if I say so myself (being the moderator of it). Everyone seems happy with it.
Not much else happening in this little life. I hope to blog more often, but then I have said that before.
