Thank you all for your responses to my query. This is
a great group. I just found you yesterday. I will try
the suggested methods and see what happens.
Thankfully yarn is forgiving and if still can't do
this all is not lost. On another note. I've been
home for several months nursing a broken ankle.
So I watch alot of tv now. I found a great knitting
show on DIY network..KNITTY GRITTY. It shows
at 11:30 am here in Ft Laud. so check your local
times. GOOD STUFF.

I broke my arm three summers ago, had my wrist fixed earlier this
year. I was unable to knit for 6 weeks the first time, almost three
weeks the second.
Yesterday I tripped, really did a number on my great toe. I can
hobble about, can't use crutches (see reference to wrist work), so
I'll be spending quite a bit of time on my butt with my foot up. It's
amazing how much knitting I can do when my pat response to "Mom, can
you get me...?" is "sorry, can't get up, foot's on ice, ask your dad
or get it yourself"!

If you aren't already doing this, here's another hint. When I had foot
surgery while dh was still working, I set myself up with several kinds
of needlework and reading matter, with the telephone, a large drink and
an ashtray on my side table, AND a container of moist-wipe towelettes
close to hand, so that the only time I had to get up was to go to the
bathroom, and once a day to fetch a lunch.

Heh, I sprained my toe like nobody's business. I'm pretty sure it
isn't broken, as I *can* move it and I'm able to put more weight on it
today.
As for how it happened, it was an accident.
I am getting a new pair of shoes out of it, as my Birkenstock
flipflops are in the shoe hospital for a rebuild and my other shoes
break across the tops of my toes in just the wrong place. Actually I
should get off my butt and have a shower so I can go shopping...

I hope you're right.
That's what my sister thought; when it didn't stop hurting after a
month, she had it xrayed and it was broken, and then I think it was
too late to do much but wait for it to heal somehow. If she'd had
it checked right away, they could have strapped it into position to
heal faster and straighter.
If it's hurting less, that's good, but being able to move it doesn't
mean much. It could still be broken.
