There is one thing I can still do. I can crochet. God has blessed me with this ability, and I will use it as long as I can to glorify Him! I often make prayer shawls, where I pray for the person who will receive the shawl while I am crocheting. Sometimes these shawls take weeks, sometimes months. I am often crocheting these shawls while I am working on other projects. When I am finished, I take the shawls to the Prayer Shawl Ministry group at the church I used to attend when my husband was the choir director there. I also attend this group on Monday afternoons, when I am not working. The fellowship I have with the ladies there also blesses me.
So, between naps and some time on the computer yesterday, I finished my latest prayer shawl. It is an easy pattern that I learned from a baby blanket pattern published many years ago. The yarn I used was Red Heart's Super Saver in Aran Fleck and Caron's One Pound in Espresso. The pattern alternates between single crochet, chain three in one row using one color and the next row of three double crochets in the chain three space of the previous row in the other color. I ended up running out of the Fleck color, so I finished with an old Sayelle Bone-colored yarn I had in my stash. I love how it turned out. I pray that the person who receives this shawl will find joy in its making. It brought peace to me.

Its a lovely shawl, and I'm sure the person that receives it will feel blessed. Hope you're feeling a bit better soon.
What a lovely idea. Hope that you feel better very soon.
This is such a great idea! I have been loving knitting shawls as of late, they have such pretty patterns!
