An update and a thank you

Jazz had a severe attack and will get a new medicine, Potassium something. We are picking it up from a people hospital dispensary that our vet has an agreement with. He has obviously lost some of his training, like word commands and behaviors we taught him so this is all upsetting. He doesn't settle down now and walks back and forth rather than resting in my lap or DH's. His front feet get set down slightly crooked, too, and snap around into place when he puts full weight on them. If he were a human child he would be falling.

Also, thank you for all the comments you made to my "X is for".. post. I am hoping, like Lanea, that schools are changing. When my daughters were going to school, the bad treatment was still alive and well, just extremely subtle. But, it was not permitted to live in any form at the magnet schools where a huge effort was made to teach diversity skills and respect.

I'm knitting on the socks and on MOO, and will continue with that for therapy. The last PT was yesterday and several of the therapists and assistants signed my splint. Also, DH has agreed to arrange the hoses so that I can water my shade patio plants myself. He will drape the hoses on the patio cross arms. The pinching of the spray head mechanism will help rebuild strength in my hand which is way down. 16 pp as opposed to 46 in the left. My right hand was the stronger one because it did all the heavy work. I'll get in back. :O) No fear!

I'll try to keep some pictures coming, especially of progress made in knitting. I've discovered the joy of short socks for walking shoes, so will be making some. Yesterday we bought some walking shoes for me and the nice socklets were cotton with double knit toes and heels and they were $8.50 with tax! =0\ I'll be making some socklets! I wash these out at night so one pair will suffice.
