weekends are a bust. Friday when I got home,I laid down and didn't do much. Saturday, still trying to avoid taking pain med. not much done. Saturday night took pain med, took again every 6 hours. Ended up with naseau(?) and finally bowel loosened. some relief from pain, but ended up laying down for hour and then not wanting to eat. SO is upset because every weekend I have been not well. I think that it is all one thing. i got the feeling of "poor me-my wife isn't taking care of me" from him. Not buying it. Now he doesn't want me to wrap his legs because "you complain of hurting when you do it and you don't do the second leg the right way." Even the nurses don't wrap it right-according to him. Although I have seen how tight they wrap the ankles and he is correct. But he is driving me insane. He will not let me wrap it until "You are better." the pain I get in my stomach area comes and goes. Oh well, sooner or later it will come to a head and we'll have a rip roaring arguement. I know that part of the problem is with my spells coming on, I can not do chores-laundry especially-bending over hurts a lot. So he has to do it. Then he doesn't get a 'reward' of going out with me-what he doesn't stop to think about-he will be in wheelchair if we stay in town. I will be walking-not easy to do if my middle hurts. If we go out of town, then I will hear about how his feet hurt and how he won't have a parking space close by etc. I just am not up to it right now. I have 3 different doctors appointments in the next 3 weeks to see what is going on.

I know, I know, I was not going to use this space to complain. But I have to get it out of my system so I can get work done.

I did do a little crocheting. I finished off a vest that was made with hairpin crochet by my friend Ronnie from St. Louis. I wore it today, I made ties for the top opening and used beads at the end. It looked good-wearing it I realize I need to block it down in size. It is too big. It has mohair in it, so with warm water and careful treatment, I may be able to get it to wearable size. (I hope-it is a beautiful top). I have figured out what how I want to wear my hair-crocheted snoods. My hair is the longest I have ever have worn it. but I am constantly messing with it because it bothers my neck. I found the style I like by accident Friday, and a snood will hold it in place very nicely. I have made one before-for my best friend when she got married several years ago. I ended up sewing pearl beads to it and using embroidery thread with silver sewing thread mixed to crochet it. I started a light blue one-we'll see how it goes. I also started designing a wrap around top to crochet.
