Travelling to my second #orthopedic fitting and, as requested by the specialist, I have my clarinet and baton (plus #crochet ) so he can assess my finer motor movements in my hands, wrists, even fingers when I am playing or conducting. With #edshypermobility the callogen across the whole body is too soft and stretchy. This means I have a corset for my back, neck brace if needed for evening relief and today custom foot supports, knee braces, elbows, and more... I learned yesterday that my #severeasthma is further affected by EDS because even inside the airways we have this soft tissue so my insides are affected as much as the more obvious outside. Though yet again exacerbation from #chestinfection so began antibiotics again. This week also marks the start of #painmanagement and #chronicfatigue #rehabilitation at #bragee so it's an awful lot to take in! But help and support is coming from all angles. #theonlywayisup #itscomplicated #chronicillness #garnharmoni #amusicianslife #asthmaticadventures #conductor #clarinet #yarnaddict

#improvisation and #variation on the #jarzies pattern by @thelittlebeenz ... #garnharmoni #crochetastherapy #colourfulcrochet #crochetbaskets

Found a use for my first #crochet #basket fixed into shape with diluted pvc glue. Inspired by @thelittlebeenz as a base for further improvisation and fun variety of #crochetstitches and #colourfulcrochet . Mum is opposite also industrious in her crafting. #garnharmoni #handmade

In between everything else, managed to #crochet another #flower #crown inspired by the #fridacrown by @thelittlebeenz but adding other leaves and flowers along the way. I wore my original crown to a doctor's appointment and was complimented by another patient in the waiting room and then the doctor herself. Certainly brightens up the tougher times and surprisingly how many folks see it and smile, asking how I made it myself. I plan to make more and open to orders. 💛🙏🌷🌼😽 #garnharmoni #colourfulcrochet #crochetastherapy #handmade

Inspired by @thelittlebeenz pattern for little crochet baskets with a few variations. Next stage will be to set it in a fixed shape with PVC glue. Unfortunately, back to much less fun things, but hope to do more #crochet in between as definitely need the calm and colour. #garnharmoni #colourfulcrochet #crochetastherapy #colourtherapy #toughtimes

In the midst of relationship break up with dear Swede... made more complicated by a difficult long-term health issues that have worstened, economic struggle and uncertainty as to where I will actually live. It isn't an easy time. My asthma has flared up badly from an infection that has been going on too long. The hospital located some unusual bacteria which they have sent for testing. Meanwhile, I must wait. Again. Other medications I tried did not work and made me very I'll. #sideeffects One of the worst attacks I remember the other day and every day a struggle against the tide of endless mucus. Coughing, wheezing, throat sore, voice hoarse, chest and back pain and breathing restricted. Too many #nebuliser treatments and on low dose of ,#cortisonepills. The EDS/hypermobility means my soft tissue across the whole body is too soft and lax so my joints and ligaments over extend leading to pain and fatigue. I recently had measurements for #orthopedic support and splints. I am grateful but it is daunting: corset for the back, inlays for the shoes (flat feet with knees inward and curved back outwards is classic posture of EDS...) have a corset for the back, will get knee supports, neck, elbows, wrists, fingers... plus physiotherapy. And then the breaking up and finding somewhere to live while neither my economy or health is stable. All part of the same cycle, no doubt. I pray for sleep at some point (asthma my night time companion)and hope things will work out. I am getting enquiries for new students which is uplifting but just need to shift this infection to have a chance. In the chaos, just a little moment of calm... #crochetastherapy #flowers #headband #breakingup #severeasthma #edshypermobility #itneverrainsbutitpours #issueswithmytissues #toobendyformyowngood #garnharmoni #colourfulcrochet #detordnarsig
