Sunday, April 28th, 2019…... Nice
restful sleep last night. It’s always nice to sleep in your own bed. Rylee
stayed pretty close to us all night and this morning. I fed her and walked her.
Lydia made breakfast while I went out and got her chai tea. We want to mow but
not today. We’re just gonna hang around and relax today. I did go out to the
shop and work on my new cell phone case. It has both a loop and a hook for my
belt and I don’t need the hook so I had to drill out the rivets and remove it.
Lydia also got a couple of covers for her phone so she’s happy. As I said, we
just kicked back today and rested. Butthead has been quiet for the most part. I
think she misses Quincy but also wants to stay close to us so we don’t run away
from her again!
Monday, April 29th, 2019…… This morning we got up early for
no reason. We have two drs. appointments in Portland today but we weren’t in
any hurry. We ate breakfast and then headed over to my sisters to drop off
Butthead. That way she won’t be alone in the house all day. We drove up and
stopped in Beaverton at B&R Appliances to check out what they had. Not
much. Then it was off to the health center for appointment no. 1. This one was
with the surgeon to sign permission forms and also get pre-op instructions.
They won’t know until day before what time surgery will be. If she is no. one on the list, she will have
to be there to check in by 5:30am., number two would be 7:30am and so on. So,
we decided to get a room for the night before. They have her going through the
shower process with their special soap and she does it the night before and the
morning of. So, being in a hotel room makes that work. This time I booked a
little nicer room and one that’s close to the hospital. Speaking of that, once
we were done, we had to go out of the health center and use a tram ticket to
ride up (and across the 405 fwy, yes there is a 405 up here too!) to the
complex up the hill. This is where the nephrology team was for the second
appointment. It’s also where the hospital is located (and our hotel room is).
We met with the team and they now have Lydia in their system. They will be on
hand at the surgery center and will be in charge of her meds while in the
hospital. We left there and rode back
down the tram to the parking structure and to our car. We stopped again at
Cracker Barrel for dinner and got home early evening. My sister had fed and dropped off Rylee so she was there to greet us. It was a long day
but neither of us were tired so we ended staying up and watching tv until
bedtime.
Tuesday, April 30th, 2019…... The weather here right now is spectacular!
Sunny and warm, with no rain in the forecast. So, today was lawn mowing day. I first
went out for breakfast/tea and then got the weed whacker out and did the prep
work before mowing. The grass is back to high but I was able to cut it lower
this time without any damage. Without both mowers right now, I only cut the
lawn again. The field grass will be done another day. It still took me about an
hour and a half. I left the clippings
for tomorrow and called it a day. Lydia made tacos for dinner and we watched the
latest Master Chef Jr. and then went on to watch our own shows until bedtime.
