Friday, Sep 13th, 2019…… Like I said in my last post, we
had to get up early this morning. I had set my alarm for 4:00am but Miss Butthead
woke me at 3:51am - because I didn’t let her out last night I guess – so I shut
the alarm off and went in and showered and got dressed. I decided to go ahead
and walk her even though it was still dark. I think I scared the paper delivery
guy when he came down our street and saw this big white dog walking in the
road!
We left
Lydia and the dogs and got going - about 4:35am - and stopped for coffee (for
me), and got there with plenty of time to park and go to the check-in desk and
get the process started. She got to her pre-surgery room and got ready. They
weren’t going to take her in until 7:30 so she told me to go on home. We will
head back up there and be back in the waiting area around noon. We left about
10:30 because we needed to stop in at Best Buy and get a couple more car
chargers for the cell phones. I had found and bought one there before that I
liked that has quick charge technology (27 watt/5.4-amp power) and we wanted to
have one in each car. But the timing could
have been better. The dr. had called me and said the surgery went well and that
she was doing fine and would be in recovery for 1-2 hours. That meant that we
needed to head over to the hospital and that put us back in the waiting room
around noon. Well, it turned out we had plenty of time! We sat in the waiting room until after 1:30
before they finally let us go back to her room. It took some more time, but once she completed
her recovery and was awake and pain free, she was ok to be released. She was doing well on her meds and the jello
they gave her didn’t cut it so she spent the time on the way home deciding
where she wanted us to stop for dinner. She chose Tony’s Tacos and we were going
to get it to go but changed to Taqueria Dos Arbolitos as we drove by it. We
went in and took a booth and ordered to eat there. It is now my favorite Mexican
restaurant in town! After a great meal, we got her home and back in bed so she
could sleep off the last of the surgery meds. Lydia and I took her car back to
her garage. We also turned on the sprinklers as she asked and also got her mail.
We got back home and relaxed too and watched tv until bedtime. I went in to bed
super early and I never heard her come in at all!
Saturday, Sep 14th, 2019…… Except for butthead getting me up
twice last night (once to pee and once to go out), I slept well. I was up and
moving early today. I had been keeping track of the weather because I wanted to
mow the lawn today. Rains were in the
forecast but the sun was out and the front was probably going to bypass us. That
was good but the grass was still way too wet, so I killed time by watching tv
and playing with the doggies. Lydia and sis left to head over to Albany to pick
up our light fixtures, which had come in. I did go out and test the grapes. They are
ready. We will all go out after the rains let up to pick a bowl full. Finally,
it was time to go out and mow. I got the mowers out and gassed up and we
started out in the field, which was pretty dry. I left her out there and ventured
over to the lawn and got that done and then went back out to help in the field.
We got the mowers cleaned off and put away and then came in and showered and
relaxed for the rest of the day. Lydia put in a Stouffers lasagna (which I do
not like) as an easy meal. We finished up the day with all three of us watching
our own taped tv programs before calling it a night.
Sunday, Sep 15th, 2019…... I had planned on picking up the
grass clippings today but that plan changed when it started raining even before
we got up. Rain is forecast for the next several days but if/when I get a
break, I will go out and get the grass swept up. Nothing else planned so I took
off and got coffee/breakfast. Lydia texted that she was making bacon and eggs.
Too late! I had already been to Jack in the Box for carryout. But that could go into the fridge for
tomorrow. We had a nice meal! Penny is doing
well but still moving slowly. She maintains a close watch on her drain tubes
(no issues). She has had some other issues
with meds today but got most of that resolved after a trip to the store and after
a few bathroom breaks. While they were
out, they also stopped by her house to turn off her sprinklers and get the
mail.
It sprinkled
and/or drizzled pretty much all day, so we stayed in and kicked back. Quincy is
ok with short trips outside to pee but poor Rylee has enough energy for the
both of them! I play with her around the house (she runs me ragged!) but she still
needs her outside time. Hopefully tomorrow we can get out for a while. We had leftovers (I made cheese quesadillas
for me) and watched tv and that was about it for the evening.
