The town my grandmother lived in, was created in the 1950s...less than 100 black residents in the 1990s. . .

@yarnsalad I did notice the hip replacement recovery. Also excited for that! I am three surgeries in three years....but life is so much better after having these things fixed. Recovery time was annoying though! Keep resting / slowly building activity.
Knitting update: Had a month of limited spending ability....and couldn't figure out how to use any of the many yarns I have.... So...about to buy more yarns.
I was weepy and having a moment when they walked in, because *medical trauma* and was given space, reassurance, and comfort. Rural medicine for the win.
My neurodivergencies were accepted, not asked to be proved.
They knew about Elhers Danlos and pointed out some things that could be connected to it, that I didn't mention
@yarnsalad I am always a start a new pattern person. Currently on a granny square crochet kick...don't know what to do with them yet. And a chunky yarn blanket when at home.
