Finished all the different shades of granny squares and am now assembling my blanket. Hopefully I will be able to display this along with my pottery pillow in an exhibition next year. Each granny square represents amount of hindering the level of pain had on me in each day of the year for one whole year. Inspired by someone recently asking me how I was, and when I was honest and said it was not a good migraine day, they said, “ Why don’t you just go home and lie down in a dark room?” Turns out, if I did that every time I felt the way I did on that day I would have been in a dark room for 151 days of that year. Then there are another 152 days where I was still not pain free and functioning at various levels of ok. Only 62 days were actually days where I could say I was feeling like a person without a chronic condition.
