What an unfortunate week I've had, managing to tear the ligaments in my right arm doing yoga wrist stretches.
YOGA FAIL
In all my years of practising yoga, I've never managed to injure myself to this extent. I feel kind of foolish and also disbelieving, plus ouch!
I have to wear a wrist support for two weeks and as I'm right handed, this is a pain in all the ways...
In desperate boredom I decided to have a go at a small cross stitch project, using my left hand to do the stitching. I had to call upon the assistance of my partner for some needle threading though and I probably still overworked my right hand a little, it's hard to break the habit of a lifetime.
This was the first time I'd stitched on perforated paper and I liked it, very useful for stitching cards I imagine. The only tricky part was initially securing the thread to the paper as I couldn't use my usual fabric based method.
I've always envied the ambidextrous ability many left handed people possess in a world that doesn't want to acknowledge their existence. I envy it even more right now, though my feeble left hand is doing its best.
Here's hoping the next two weeks fly by and my wrist heals quickly and properly so I can get back to stitching and yoga.
