Tuesday, February 12th., 2019…... Today
was rainy and cooler. My sister had a couple of doctor’s appointments and I
drove her up to Salem for those. We thought we might get some snow flurries but
it wasn’t cold enough for that. When we left it was just sprinkling and it did
rain on us most of the day, but no snow. I took her to the first stop at the
hospital and then we drove around and stopped at Big 5 before heading to the
second appointment. We had enough time to eat beforehand so we stopped at
Firehouse Subs for lunch. Thanks for lunch Sis!
When we got home, Rylee was ready and waiting! I played with her and my
watch flew off my wrist! I found that the watch band had come apart and we
couldn’t find the missing piece. This is my Boeing 40th anniversary
watch so I will definitely be looking for a new band for it. Lydia had eaten lunch
and wasn’t too hungry and since I had a nice lunch, we decided to just make
some egg salad sandwiches for dinner. Plus, she had just got some nice fresh
ranch eggs from my sister. They were tasty but boiled fresh eggs are always
harder to peel! We tried the ice water thing and that worked but still not
easy…. After dinner we watched the last
of our taped Guys Grocery Games and then watched our own taped shows before
going to bed.
Wednesday, February 13th., 2019…… Nothing planned for today. I was going to go
over to my sister’s and install the ceiling fans but she had appointments today
and was in no hurry. So, I installed the new towel bars in our master bath. There
were four of them so it took a few hours, but was pretty easy to do. The only
task left in there is to install the cabinet above the toilet. I will do that
tomorrow. Lydia had picked out the
freestanding style but now thinks she wants the thing wall-mounted. I’ll put it
in assembled and let her think it over and decide. She didn’t get anything out
for dinner so I made a Jack in the Box run and got us dinner. We cleaned up the
house a bit and did the fridge cleanup as well because tomorrow is trash day.
Then it was tv until bedtime.
Thursday, February 14th., 2019…... ♥♥♥♥♥♥ HAPPY
VALENTINES DAY ♥♥♥♥♥♥ !!! It
wasn’t for us! It started out ok. I took Rylee out in the rain and then got
back and changed shoes and then fixed breakfast. Lydia headed out to do a
requested rerun of her last blood test. They didn’t like the numbers. She said
she had some pain in her side but drove herself there. When she got home, she
wasn’t feeling any better so she called her Nephrologist (Dr. Leonard) to tell
her about it and said she was going to the ER to have it checked out. They have
lowered her cellcept in an attempt to get the antibiotics to work to help clear
up her diverticulitis. The labs from Monday came back with a lower count than
the dr. liked. That’s why the retest. Lydia felt the pain might be the start of
a rejection - and that’s not fun – so she went to have it checked out. We got
there and she got through triage and into a bed really quickly. We explained
the situation and they ran another set of labs and found that the kidney is
functioning like it’s supposed to and the numbers looked good. So, they sent
her home with follow up with the nephrologist. That made her feel a whole lot
better. Dr. Leonard’s office called back later in the day and said they had
seen the er reports and want her to go back again on Monday and do the same
labs again so they can compare. Plus, she will be going on Tuesday to see Dr.
Leonard for her scheduled appointment. So, the day did get better! But we stayed around the house and didn’t do
anything special for the day! I did install that cabinet but it’s not secured
yet. That can wait.
Later in
the day, I helped her cook and we had a nice quiet dinner and spent the evening
relaxing.
