I thought since Jean was 17 on the other one, I might as well just start a new thread. Hope everyone's weekend has started out well.
Susan: We were posting at the same time so I didn't see your post until Jean made mention of Stan's surgery and I went back and looked to see what she was talking about. I am sorry you guys had to go all through that. Drs can be such idiots at time. My sister is having a blood clot issue that started way back in February. First off, her doctor put her on birth control pills for another issue, which is dangerous when you are 51, then this which I am thinking were caused by the birth control pills. The doctor she has been seeing has said no compression stockings at all and he sent her to a vascular surgeon this last week and he climbed all over her about wearing her compressions stockings all the time! The poor woman tried to explain to him her other doctor refused and he wasn't having any of it. He told her there would be no surgery until at least October, that she had to stay on the blood thinner until then and wear the stockings. She said, "I don't have stockings, he didn't want me to wear them!" I have seen several cat hair knitting projects. She just brushes her long haired cat and saves it then spins it. I guess if it works on the pets...
Jean: I guess when we are in our 80's if we make it that far, we won't want to wear hearing devices and such either. Sometimes it is hard to admit you need them, though I would rather hear than not hear. Of course, it may be she doesn't want to hear certain things and this can be an excuse!
I only have about 3 inches and the darn sleeve is done and I can set it in and sew it and be done with the thing. I got bored last night so switched to knitting on the baby's hat. I did find this beautiful pattern for a sweater in my size. I guess I might be able to squeeze it in next year sometime, but then when I lose weight, will it fit???
Couldn't resist posting a pic of my two grandsons together. I think it is so cute. They went to the zoo together this last week. I think Tom, Kelly, and Thomas are coming home either today or tomorrow. The chubby one and the skinny one!
Everyone have a good Saturday. I am off to do morning chores and get some knitting time in before I go to the pool.
