When I was eight years old, I had an old grandma type angel from Yugoslavia that lived in the apartment downstairs. She used to take care of me while my single mom worked two jobs to provide for us. She is the one who taught me to knit. After six hip replacement, I have been left disabled and in bed several hours a day with my little puppy and my knitting. I have had my leg almost torn off during the first hip replacement and severe nerve damage took place. Well they were able to reattach nerves so I could walk again, the pain is excruciating. Knitting helps me so much. When the pain becomes unbearable and anxiety from it kicks in, I retreat to my bedroom and grab my knitting. It helps me refocus off the nerve pain, taking my mind on to creating something beautiful, all while resting quietly in bed. One day I hope to help others suffering from pain or even anxiety to do the same. I hope to post videos of slow knitting, while just gently talking with words of love and encouragement.
