Almost done with the silk/alpaca triangle shawl I started a few days ago in order to add some variety to my knitting. Started casting off while watching TV a little while ago; I'll most likely finish before going to bed.

I saw the local pain doc today, since it's no longer practical for me to commute back and forth to LA. He has changed my whole treatment regimen. I hope it's as effective as the previous one. The new doc says the new regimen he's putting me on will be safer and cheaper than what the previous doctor ordered. Is there a word for being simultaneously hopeful and scared? How about "apprehensive"?
