Baby Blanket Nightmare

I am supposed to be getting ready for a dr. appointment. I don't really want to go and I am on the verge of chickening out- for many reasons. My thumb is so very important to me. So I started Kamisha's baby blanket the first week of July, discovering shortly thereafter that the thing was 6 feet long when I un-needled it. Unraveled and began again, smaller. So far so good. I might have 8-10 inches going. And now I have the possibility of thumb surgery. Aside from the fact that I am a total wuss as far as doctors go, I am beginning to think I can really live with this thing going on rather than fix it. So. I suppose I need to get ready.
