It's been a really long crazy week. I'm very glad to have made it to Friday. :D
Fun facts I learned this week: my knee has been hurting because I'm getting older & my muscles are getting weaker. I went to an orthopedist at the suggestion of my podiatrist when she said my knee pain was not being caused by the new orthotics and she thought that something else was going on.
The orthopedist was very thorough, and very good. ( my poor misaligned body )
He said it was Chrondomalacia Patella, and the best treatment was good orthotics to fix alignment problems (which I'm already doing), and physical therapy to learn exercises that will strengthen my muscles and help pull the kneecap into alignment.
And now... the fun stuff!! I bought a *massive* amount of fabric at PatternReview Weekend in Portland. A total of 38.6 yards!! I got two wools, two silks, a nice soft 21-wale corduroy, denim, a shirt-weight stretch cotton, a stretch cotton print, another cotton print, and a rayon lining fabric.
( all the details - pictures to come this weekend )
