His blood was still thick the last time I heard them talking about it. He kept turning down the patch - said they were trying to get him to quit - told him they were trying to help him take the edge off of wanting a cigarette. He said they could give it to him & he would throw it away - I threatened to put it where he couldn't reach it. It's a big story that I have told you some of, but he was born when I was 8 & he called me Mama as a baby. So he seemed to listen to me a bit more maybe that he was to his daughter - at least she thought so. Said I gave him the eye & he would back down a bit. I told him he was acting like a bratty baby brother! Will see what he is like tonight!Cindy/KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902208663724302611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-60353497335535223012010-04-09T11:08:02.185-05:002010-04-09T11:08:02.185-05:00OMG, Cindy---I am so sorry for your brother!

I'm sure they've got him on blood thinners and are taking blood tests to make sure the blood is "thinned" to the right level. Good Lord that poor man. I would definitely ask the doctor for anti-anxiety meds, a tranquilizer, or anything that will help him not have agitation from all the fear and pain that go with such a serious medical problem & hospitalization. And the nicotine patch always worked well for my hospitalized patients. (Some of them continued it after leaving the hospital to help them quit altogether.) Please keep me informed, and just know that I'm sending good vibes to both of you!Bo...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136803397641401011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-53521043729490334712010-04-09T10:26:01.699-05:002010-04-09T10:26:01.699-05:00I am beat again after an emergency with my younges...I am beat again after an emergency with my youngest brother developing a arterial blood clot in his right calf about 6 fingers above his ankle 2 nights ago. Was up until after 2 am yesterday waiting to see if he came out of surgery ok - finally got out about 4 am, so I got the message a bit after 6 that he made it. Then they wanted to take him back in yesterday for more, the foot is still pretty cold, but his wife had left to get some sleep & he wouldn't agree unless he saw her or later he told me unless he saw someone because he was afraid he wouldn't make it again (he's 42) - so I headed to Salina about 11 yesterday & stayed until 8:30 pm when they kicked me out. They decided to just run a particular test (I am sure you might know which one) every 6 hours & just monitor him for now - he seems to do better when he isn't agitated - so they finally got him orders for loritabs, an order to flush the cath that was bothering him & an order for a sleeping pill last night - so he was pretty groggy when I left. He did tell me that I didn't love him, if I left. I told him he didn't love me, if he wouldn't take the patch they offered him to take the edge off him wanting a cigarette! He is already handicapped because of heart issues & spinal issues. Would hate to see him lose that foot to though!<br /><br />Anyway - took my knitting & have a good 6" of the back done on the sweater! Getting about 5 spi on size 9 needles with this baby yarn, so I think it's going to work pretty well.Cindy/KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902208663724302611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-28327618738241310152010-04-07T15:42:12.728-05:002010-04-07T15:42:12.728-05:00Cindy: I love the color combo you picked.

It's an acrylic/polamide combo, I believe. I had thought about a different one, but this one suggested smaller needles than the other, so I thought working it on larger needles or at a larger tension would make a lighter weight fabric for May. He seems ok with the colors - the kids in the boxing class thought he was being measured for a suit though. He told them no, it was a sweater & his mom makes awesome sweaters!<br /><br />He did say he wasn't sure how much he would be wanting to wear it after the graduation ceremony with his name across the chest, but I told him I will do that in duplicate stitch that can be taken out later. In fact, though, this morning I got the idea of doing a fake panel with the name on it & just duplicate stitching the edges of that over the main part of the sweater. That would give me a smaller piece to be working the duplicate stitch on & would then make it faster to take it off afterwards.<br /><br />Going to get started this evening - I was beat last night about being basically on the go for 15 hours by the time I got home to eat dinner.Cindy/KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902208663724302611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-74596638968036622292010-04-06T16:06:35.896-05:002010-04-06T16:06:35.896-05:00OH, no wonder, Cindy!

One of the ones who responded that I should just delete is another & the owner is almost AWOL since she just connects through her blackberry. But oh well! Either I will stay or I won't. I haven't decided if my annoyance is because of the issues going on in my personal life or not, so am just waiting for a while to decide.<br /><br />On to knitting - think I will be getting my son's measurements tonight & get started on his sweater.

I'm sorry you had to put up with it again, but hopefully things are better today! <br /><br />I created a bit of drama myself on an email group - 1 person always forwards political or religious stuff - a lot of it not even true, if she bothered to check it out. So I posted that for me, I would prefer we keep religion & politics out of the group. I haven't decided whether to leave the group or not, I do like it except for always feeling like this gal is trying to force things down our throats. My reply to her response has never come through, so I am thinking I am moderated now - after being part of the group for over 10 years! But I still feel that each of us have our own opinions & beliefs & there are 3 sure ways to ruin a friendship - loan money, talk politics & talk religion. Oh well!Cindy/KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902208663724302611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-42466295591583446942010-04-05T08:38:31.135-05:002010-04-05T08:38:31.135-05:00Thank you, Knitrageous!!!Thank you, Knitrageous!!!Bo...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136803397641401011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-46523430169033275332010-04-05T07:10:01.477-05:002010-04-05T07:10:01.477-05:00lol i neeeeed some of ur neatness :D cutest cats e...lol i neeeeed some of ur neatness :D cutest cats ever as always<br />happy easter from the UK<br />ps. bugger off bell-ends, leave Bo alone!!!Knitrageoushttp://www.knitrageous.robertsonweb.me.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-80615236779881079782010-04-04T19:20:52.066-05:002010-04-04T19:20:52.066-05:00Thank you, Meg!Thank you, Meg!Bo...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136803397641401011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-64216734144845970482010-04-04T18:52:09.887-05:002010-04-04T18:52:09.887-05:00Well, that seems uncalled for.
