Not quite possible,

I am finding it difficult to watch a movie with subtitles and crochet away. Quite awhile ago I read "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". An intensely moving book, written by someone who suffered a cardiovascular accident. A CVA, or a massive stroke. He was left with the ability to understand everything, completely. And move an eye. It was called "locked in syndrome". He managed to write a book by blinking it to someone. Previously, he was the editor of Elle magazine. I recorded the French movie with English subtitles from t.v. This fascinates me. But, I cannot crochet. Perhaps I need some training like Jessica, who wants to read and knit at the same time (I think it was her, I could not find her post about it). I see the possibilities now.

Read the book. It is very good.

That story (and the movie) is AMAZING.

I would like to say that as a speech/language pathologist, that somewhere along my career, (past, present of future), I will have made a significant difference to someone!
