A small achievement

Hey gang, guess what - I CAN KNIT😄. Before MS I started knitted multi patterned cushion covers to tie in with a pricey throw I’d bought. Beginning with diminished use of my hands, I gave up. Not until my daughter sorting through stuff, found the abandoned Wool and knitting did I realise they hadn’t been iachucked out . Before I ask my carer to pick up where I left off I said ‘I’ll have a go myself. I can do it!!!!! I’m slower....... but I can! What do you other wheelchair MSers do to pass your day?xx

Yay for any wins! ;-) and something that works finger dexterity and the mind and can be creative as well...trifacta! good for you and maybe I should start ;-0 I am a creative sort (in addition to being an accounting systems analyst until this last June so nasty logic requirements and big computer stuff and big data work) but not sure I can do that anymore. I picked up putting together my daughter's digital scrapbook that I had set down for years! to have that ready for her graduation and hand-off memory book as she transitions to adult-hood and I am better than ever ;-) and not as much in a hurry. Thinking I could take over the whole digital photo book business ;-0 but right now am hopped up on steroids from a flare so I had better not over commit ;-0 I'm not in a wheelchair - yet but balance and mobility are challenged. I need to dedicate a certain time to practice a past endeavor of mine - piano. As a teenager I was quite good and my daughter is now passable. Bought a baby grand to go into it's place in our new home and she has played it WAY more than me! I gotta get back to it. If I commit to not working it could happen...after this book business. Also there was a thread of people picking up additional languages. Another great memory thing and could be useful in so many ways...search (magnifying glass upper left) and I think they said duolingo was their preferred. Great idea to chat about ;-)
