knitting with a concussion

so- i got a concussion a week ago tomorrow. this is addition to my chronic intractable migraines- so i have been out of it.

but my knitting, well, it’s been ok. i took up knitting as a possible solution for what to do while in pain. knitting is rythmic, and to me incredibly soothing. so it makes sense that knitting now would be ok.

and largely, it is.

what has suffered is purling. for some reason i will spend almost 4 times as long purling as i do knitting- i think largely because i have some sort of backwards thing going on right now. purling and typing are hard for some unknown reason- it is taking me a whole lot longer to do both. and no caps, either- it seems beyond me most of the time to coordinate my hands to hit shift.

so- i can knit, just not purl with ease. how odd is that?
