Knitter down!

So I'm working merrily away this afternoon, reach for my calculator, and hear this "pop". Ow - my hand hurts! Put hand on mouse - hand REALLY hurts. go to clinic, sit around (Little Mermaid movie, start to finish), doctor confirms a "minor" sprain of the right hand. Rest it at least 48 hours. No typing (this is all being done left handed), no mousing, no KNITTING!

The kicker? I'm teaching a sock class tomorrow night. Going to be interesting talking my students through the "join, being careful not to twist, " etc. However, I will do as I'm told because if I don't it will hurt for longer. Argh.

On the bright side, at least I don't drive a standard. Gripping the gear shift would be brutal. And I have a good book-in-progress, Ken Follett's "The Third Twin" so I at least won't go insane for not knitting or playing WoW for a couple of days.

So, how was YOUR Tuesday?

Ouch! Hope it heals quickly.
P.S. I drive a standard and have been down that road. It was brutal indeed.

My Tuesday was almost as weird as yours but um, no, I didn't think about soft balls of YARN for gym practice. I usually try to avoid throwing yarn, you know. But I am seriously considering a pair of socks with one balled up inside the other one ;o)
