A New Challenge
Today I am working on some sewing skills.
Dennis came home from the hospital in what was a pair of good sweat pants that had a zipper on each side of the legs. The nurses had a heck of a time getting Dennis ready for home as the zipper was not quite adequate. I got those pants off by hook and crook, but he needs something more than his undies for next week’s appointments.
Today with using the oldest pants he has, I am opening the side of the left leg. Some time ago I had bought three yards of zipper length with individual heads to make your own zippers for the length you needed. Thankfully I have one head already threaded onto the length. I think I will cut off a 16″ length and make a pair of pants that are doable to fit over this huge clumsy boot that goes up mid point to Dennis’ knee.
Pants that have been laundered umpteen times have stitches deeply embedded with navy on navy . . . hard to see. Enough for that today. I will hit the studio tomorrow and see how I do.
I have the livestock chores done for the day and have made a trip to the store for cough drops, carrots, onions and a rotisserie chicken.
Boning out the chicken will give me a good batch of chicken for an oven dish sometime soon. Fixing a dish that will provide us with a good nutritious meal for three evening meals is better for me than coming up with something night after night.
Dennis is doing quite well . . . all things considered. He is staying ahead of the pain while keeping the leg up at various locations within the house. He has not asked if he can go out to the patio porch . . . I believe he already knows what the situation is until next week Tuesday when we see a medical team.
