My battle with CRPS is with both of my legs but I have found lots of things I can do without my legs.

I taught myself how to crochet and now I'm pretty good. Everyone I have made blankets and scarves for often request me to make other things.

I also taught myself how to knit. I was intimidated at first but I thought what else do I have lose.

Also I have rediscovered my love for coloring!

All 3 of these have helped me in different ways. They help keep me focused on them instead of my pain, they keep my brain from turning into mush, but I was most surprised at how proud they made me. CRPS has taken a lot from me both physically and emotionally but being able to look at things and think I made that feel really good.

I look forward to seeing what everyone has done!
