Each Stitch

There has been lots of knitting taking place around here.  The mastitis has grown into something larger and therefore I have spent many hours at the hospital and in bed resting.  This means lots of knitting.  The sitting and resting seems to pass differently when you are knitting.  Sitting waiting in the hospital doesn't seem so upsetting when you can look back and see the whole shrug that I knitted while there.  Each stitch a passage of time. Each stitch a moment of healing.
The knitting has helped me to try and get through this. Can't understand how, but only thinking about the next stitch or the next row has helped with not thinking too far ahead and what awaits around the corner.
