Trying to get this guy to listen to me is, well, forget it.

Today it was snowing, hailing, sleeting, raining, HORRIBLE HORRIBLE WEATHER. I had just left the house to go to the laundry. Alan had told me he was going into NYC. I said "don't think so, look at what it's starting to do". It was only starting at the time, and he would be leaving in 30 minutes.

So as I get to the laundromat (5 minutes from my house), I can't begin to tell you how the weather changed. In the 5 minute walk to the laundromat, the sleet that came down into my laundry bag, well, I could not believe it. I almost slid off the sidewalk but by that time I was in front of the laundromat. Everybody looked outside and we were all going "holy cow, they said it was going to hail, but jeeez". So naturally I call up Alan and I'm saying into the phone (he always lets the machine pick up", so I'm saying "you better be still in the house, because you can't walk with your neuropathy, you'll fall in the street". He calmly picks up the phone and says "of course I'm going, don't worry". I said 'don't worry?, do you see what it's doing outside??" He said "nah, don't worry".

So he left. He came home at 5:30, (it was pouring rainy sleet by then), all drenched. He said "see, what were you worrying about?" I wanted to bang him upside his head.

I cannot wait to see what the orthopedic surgeon says to him on Tuesday. That's when we find out if he gets an operation to shave down the bone thingee under his foot ulcer. So far, he hasn't bled in 5 days and is just wearing the orthotics. I don't care, I want him to be examined by the ortho guy because he's has this thing since May of 06.

It's time already.

God, I sound like a mother instead of a wife.

lol

Thanks much
