It has been such a long time since my last post. So many things going on and kind of hectic but life is leveling off a bit now and I have most everything figured out. My hubby came home from the hospital on the 19th of February. It was a real adjustment getting rugs moved and furniture moved so that the wheelchair could got where it needed to go. I tried to be prepared before he came home and moved some things, but until you actually see how it will all work, you can't totally prepare for it. Today we are going to make the trip back to the doctor and hopefully he will be getting the stitches out of his foot. I think it will be at least one and possible two more weeks before he will be able to walk on it. Actually I think that they will be fitting him with a special shoe so that most of the pressure will be on the heel of his foot. It will be so nice for him to be able to get into the shower. He is not terribly fond of the sponge bath method.
I have been knitting of course during all of this. I got the first sleeve on my sweater and well, I am on Weight Watchers, but I failed to put the sweater on Weight Watchers so it is a bit large. Like a lot large. So, Lucy, my Mom and I are trying to figure out how to adjust it so that I will be able to wear it. I have to take about 5 inches off of the bottom of the sweater and the main issue is the sleeves. So, I will attempt adjustments with the second sleeve and if it works, I will take the other sleeve out and repeat the process. Of course taking out the bottom 5 inches will be an easy thing to do. Maybe I will be able to post a picture of it eventually. In the meantime I have gone crazy with socks. I am really enjoying them.
Last Tuesday we went to the LYS for the regular knitting session and the girls surprised me with a birthday cake and cards etc. It was a nice surprise. As you get older the birthdays seem to come and go so much faster. But, I have this great license plate holder that says "Life is Nifty after Fifty" Jen gave that to me and it is pretty cool.
