Theraputic Knitting for Heart Problems

Today we found out that Wayne needs triple bypass heart surgery and a new aortic valve. I'm still processing this news and feeling grateful that we found out before he had a heart attack. We'll meet with the cardiac surgeon next Monday to get his recommendations and make a plan. In the meantime, we'll celebrate Thanksgiving with dinner at Good Samaritan with Mom. I must confess that I'll miss the preparation of our traditional meal and the delicious aromas that always fill the house on Thanksgiving Day.

My stress reducer has been knitting, knitting and more knitting. There is something soothing and therapeutic about knitting needles and yarn. Maybe I can convince Wayne to take up knitting but I doubt it.
