Good: My neck is loads better, and is very nearly back to normal.

Bad: Some nasty insect has bitten me on the ankle and it has swollen up horribly over my ankle and down my foot, and developed a nasty looking huge orange blister, so it looks like I have an under-ripe cherry tomato stuck to my ankle.

Good: The swelling is better than yesterday, I can now walk. Yeah! It is also not nearly as painful, I now only feel like I am being stabbed with hot needles for most of the time rather than all of the time 🙂

Bad: I can’t treadle the spinning wheel, and I can’t drive the car 🙁 I don’t have enough range of motion to tilt my foot up and down, and at the moment I can’t even get my foot onto the clutch peddle let alone change gear (though it was probably greatly amusing watching me try).

Good: With all the sitting and not spinning time I have managed to do quite a lot of my City and Guilds class homework, although progress has been hampered by feeling a bit grotty.

Bad: I probably wont be able to get to the class tomorrow unless the swelling goes down enough for me to drive the car.

Good: I did manage a bit of spinning before the swelling got too bad, nearly done on bobbin 5 of the merino / silk.

Bad: I really wanted to finish this before Knit Nation next week so I have all my bobbins clear. So I had better hurry up and get better soon.
