Your husband's weakness at least makes it obvious that he is in the right place with help on hand. You are doing all you can. I do wonder whether his temperament might not be linked to his diabetes, having witnessed moodswings in school students with type one diabetes. shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-20032736877442883792015-05-23T16:32:22.779+01:002015-05-23T16:32:22.779+01:00Your husband's fear of losing control of his l...Your husband's fear of losing control of his life and having to rely on others probably causes a lot of anger, but you should not have to deal with that. What is happening to him would be happening even if you were not there to witness it. And, being home might not be the best for his recovery. Who knows what emergency could arise? And your being worn down helps nobody.<br /><br />Sometimes, there is nothing we can do but let nature take its course. The pros can help him achieve his rehab goals more quickly than anyone else, and they are likely to help him channel all that negativity into positive efforts that will pay off.<br /><br />I do hope you find enormous solace in your knitting and reading, and I hope your husband will return to you healed from this horrible experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-72446106918141039112015-05-23T14:32:29.087+01:002015-05-23T14:32:29.087+01:00Happy to hear about your kind benefactors.

What a kind gesture. I think you should be able to do the garter tab in the usual way. The provisional cast on would remove the tiniest bit of extra yarn, but not make a huge difference.
