Woke up a little late, it was a rough night with all the turmoil from yesterday. My rash is back and I’m trying to get it under control again. I did enjoy some Friends outtakes very early this morning.
I checked in on the WW Net and talked to Uncle Paul. Had a couple boiled eggs for breakfast and spent most of the day debating things at the kitchen table.
Leftover Round Steak for dinner and a nap.
Watched a Christmas movie and some Friends Outtakes.
Tuesday
Woke up this morning about 8AM and checked in with the HAM radio guys. No breakfast today.
9:30 Alarm, spent all morning debating things again today.
We went to Outback for lunch and plan to never return. The silverware had soap marks on it, and we know that they’ve been having issues with the dishwasher. We can’t take the chance on dishwashing detergent making her sick. (It’s very caustic.)
Took a good long nap and had deli meat sandwiches for dinner.
19:30 Alarm planned Wednesday’s activities, took our medicine and then we watched TV until we went to bed.
Wednesday
Did not sleep very well last night, took a shower about 7 and laid down until I had to go to the dentist. Back home around 10 and laid down until 11 when I needed to drive to Marietta to meet the gang for a Christmas party. I was too tired to really enjoy the party very much. I was safely home at 15:00
Got a box in the mail, she opened it before I got home.
Took a good long nap, I do not feel very good tonight. (I felt pretty good when I drove to Marietta, not so much at the end of the party.) I took my sugar levels, and it was 127 which is high, but not terrible. I should have taken it when I got home because I felt awful. It also occurred to me that I hadn’t eaten all morning, because we were eating lunch. So, all I had today besides a ham sandwich was 3 beers, fried shrimp and tater tots. YUK for a 70 yr old. I finally feel a little better, but it took until 22:00 for my body to recover.
Thursday (Emory)
Up at 07:30, got onto the HF radio and checked in with the WW Net this morning. We got a pile of letters from the Philippines this morning a very nice picture. Time to get ready for the appointment this morning with the doctor.
Doctor visit went very well, we shared experiences and ideas for a good while. We got in a good nap and then picked up the prescription for her. I went shopping at Kroger to pick up a few things.
We planned the day tomorrow including what we’re making for dinner. We watched Christmas Angel IMDB for the third time and an episode of House. We were in a bit of a panic since she forgot her morning pills today. We took those at 7:15 and then at 9PM we were going to take her evening pills when I realized that the prescription we replaced today was still sitting in her daily tray. I will have to take a larger role in our home, I am assuming too much and then having to backtrack what actually happened.
Friday (Cold 36)
Up at 8:05 and checked in with the WW Net. Took out the recycling and looked for the calendar pages for my small Daytimer, with no luck. (I may not need it since I am headed into just having a procedure book like the MRS.) It might be nice to have just the calendar pages for 2025 though. She started a load of sheets that we had decided to change and wash next week. 3 HB eggs and sausage links for breakfast.
We printed pages for her book so we can get organized on what we need to do when.
Dinner was round steak in the Insta-Pot. She added sweet potatoes which was a bit different. We had rye bread with it at the table.
Forgot to take my meds yesterday, the timers were over 48 hours. I noticed that my stomach was a little upset.
We also found the lid to the tomato sauce can in the Insta-Pot after it was cooked.
We put a freeze back under and over the hot food to help the refrigerator.
The brush in the Vacuum needed to be cleaned.
I had no idea! There are TWO filters on the DC07 One is before the motor (I knew about that one), and one AFTER the motor! I ordered both filters, they should be here tomorrow.
The heal of her foot is still hurting her, we put an ice pack on it today. We may have to make an appointment with the foot doctor since she has been dealing with this for a couple weeks.
Watched a Halmark Christmas movie and some Johnny Carson before bed.
Saturday
Up at 7:30, had a bowl of cereal at 2AM when I shifted to the lounge chair to sleep.
Glucose was 107 this morning even after having a bowl of cereal. I checked in with the guys on the WW Net this morning, I could not hear Net control station.
Talked to Uncle Paul and had our 9:30 meeting, we do not have all the ingredients for lunch today. (Mostly because I don’t have a recipe that she does by memory.)
Ended up at Longhorn’s for dinner, we just could not get the momentum to make a Wally World run before lunch.
Landon’s package arrived today.
Made our run to the neighbor’s house to water their plants and our new filters arrived for the vacuum cleaner. I vacuumed the floor and there was a bit of a smell from the new filters.
We watched Hallmark Christmas movies until we got tired and went to bed.
Sunday
Woke up at 7AM and had a normal bowel into the toilet that didn’t flush. What I didn’t know was she had a large bowl that plugged the toilet and now my bowel made the water nasty. I tried to plunger the toilet several times until finally the bowl spilled over onto the floor and my feet. I had to pull a towel from the rack to mop up the water and haul the rug and my clothes into the washing machine. My feet have open sores on them, so I had to quickly disinfect them with bleach water I keep in the bathroom. I ended up taking a washcloth soaked in my bleach water and wiped down the bathroom floor using her Swiffer wand.
I checked into the WW Net, she apparently didn’t hear my whole call sign 🙁
There was a pill laying on the counter at 8PM, she said that she didn’t know why it was there. When we looked at her pill trays one was completely empty (Never should be) and the other had duplicate pills in it. We filled her pill tray, and I made examples of her morning and evening pills in plastic bags.
Lunch was leftover round steak. We found a bowl of chicken soup that has been in the microwave all night long. I poured it down the garbage disposal, but I should have used a utensil and not my fingers. I am surprised that it didn’t smell bad. Like at all?
CPAP Tank washing day.
I had to create the same kind of book that she uses, I am getting lost too.
