Saturday, October 27th, 2018…... Not
a good day. The plan was to wait until my sister got discharged, then go get
her. She will need Lydia’s care in treating her while she’s here. Only problem
was Lydia didn’t feel well this morning. She got up and made it to my chair in
the living room. I knew something was wrong. I figured it was another bout of
uti. I made her throw on some clothes and we went to the er. It is a 3.8-mile
trip and we got there and got checked in. No lines, no waiting. They ran all of
the tests and even did a cat scan. She has a urinary tract infection but also
has discomfort from her diverticulitis. They admitted her a few hours later. I
had made one trip home to feed the dogs and then finally left for the night to
allow her to get some rest. Meanwhile, my sister has decided to stay one more
day in the hospital. She was able to get up and walk on her own but still felt
she needed some more time. Plus, I would be the caregiver now so she wanted one
more day with the nurses there. So, I
was at home with the dogs…
Sunday, October 28th, 2018…... This morning I did my doggie duties. Walked and fed both
pups and then ate breakfast and then headed off to the hospital (with clean
undies) to visit with Lydia for a while. She was feeling much better and was
getting ready to order lunch. The plan was for me to stay there with her and
wait until sis called for me to come get her. They had one more infusion and
she could leave in about an hour. So, I came home and let the dogs out and
grabbed a drink and then headed up to Salem. I timed it correctly and they were about ready
to release her. They brought her down and we drove back home and got her
squared away. Her friend, Janice, dropped by and they visited for a good while.
Then I headed out to get dinner and after that fed the dogs then went back to
see Lydia. Again, she was doing better yet. The doctor said maybe tomorrow she
could go home. But they still had some labs to run and wanted another night. I
got home later and everyone got settled in and we all relaxed from the busy
day.
Monday, October 29th, 2018…... Today was a little like yesterday,
but only one hospital to make runs to… Penny said she would just want toast and
sausage and she could heat those up, so I took off and got breakfast and coffee
for both of us. I already had walked the dogs. Quincy gets the ‘west 40’ walk/run,
then I let the beast out to torment her for a while and run a bit. Then I bring
Quincy in to feed her and while she eats, I take Rylee out on our street walk.
Once all of that was done, I headed off to visit Lydia. The Dr. was in and
again, said he wanted the test results before final release. I came home and
rested for a bit then made some reservations for camping when we make our trip
south next month. Later, I got the call that she needed one more shot and she
could come home. I left the house early and went to a tire dealer here in town
to check on tires for the motorhome and then went on and got her and now she’s
home! We ended up the day with me going
to get dinner (Taco Bell) and her prescriptions from the pharmacy. We ate and
then fed the dogs and then relaxed and watched DWTS before going to bed.
