Wednesday, Dec 11th, 2019…… Lydia had to go do labs this morning. I did
not hear back about the motorhome so I called them again. The air valve that
they had been waiting on was the wrong one and they had said they had the new
one and would be installing it yesterday. But apparently that didn’t happen
because when he called me back this morning it wasn’t in. So, I cancelled my
tire install and will just have to wait. Now I was able to drive Lydia to do
the labs. I parked out front and picked up a wheelchair from the lobby and helped
her in and we got through the rooms and got the blood drawn and I got her back
in the car. We stopped by the medical equipment place here in town to turn in
the prescription order for the knee scooter but the place was closed today for
employee training of some kind. No worries, she’s not walking on the foot any
more than she has to – only to get in and out of the car and to the bathroom.
We stopped by Tony’s Tacos and I got her breakfast and got her back to her
chair to relax from the outing. She was in a lot of pain and had to fast for
the blood draw but now she could take some Tylenol and rest and get some sleep.
My sister was here to drive me to the truck repair place and Lydia to the labs
but she wasn’t needed so she went back home to eat and shower. She came over later to get Quincy and since Lydia
was under her blanket and pretty comfortable and said she would be fine, and
since we weren’t going to get the rv, we decided to go to the senior center to
play bingo. So, we took off. When we got
back, Lydia said she had a nice nap but it was close to dinner and she was
getting hungry so I headed off to Walmart to pick up stuff for spaghetti and
got back and cooked that. Her nephrologist called while we were eating and said
she was concerned about her creatinine level being too high. So, she will have
to go get another blood draw on Friday to compare and double check her numbers.
So, another trip out and more punctures coming!
She also
said she saw in her files the prescription for the analgesic cream that the
ortho surgeon had sent in today (it showed up in the e-chart). She doesn’t want
her using that.
We ate
dinner and then later watched The Masked Singer. We guessed the Leopard (Seal) and
knew that the Thingamajig (Victor Oladipo) was an NBA player but I don’t follow
the NBA so much, so I didn’t know who he was.
Thursday, Dec 12th, 2019…… Today was another day to wake up
early and not be able to go back to sleep. I went back in to my office and got
my blanket and turned on the tv for a few hours. When I did get up, I showered
and walked and fed Rylee and made Lydia some tea and cereal while I waited for
the motorhome guys to call. They did about 7:15am so I called my sister to give
me a ride there. I called the tire people and they were good for me to come in
after that. After she dropped me off, I asked Penny to drop off the
prescription for the medical knee scooter on her way home. Picking up the coach
was a little tough because it started raining and got worse as I got going.
Plus, I had to stop at a station and put some fuel in it before heading down to
Coburg. The ride down was in pretty decent rain but when I got there, it had
let up. I was able to nose right in to their work bay and they immediately got
started. I had them pull out two of the newest batch of tires. I didn’t want
tires that have been on the shelf for a year. These were only a few weeks old.
They got them done in less than an hour and I was back in the rv garage before
1:00pm. Lydia was doing fine and had made herself a sandwich and was resting in
her chair when I got home. My sister came by to get more lights for her tree
and checked on Lydia. She and her made plans to go to get take-out dinner
tonight from Pizza Schmizza. We all wanted wings and salad so later, she called
in the order and picked them up and came over. I called her our Meals on
Wheels! 😊. We had a
nice meal and (except for the dent in my wallet for the motorhome) it was a
good day all around.
Friday, Dec 13th, 2019…… Lydia’s 2nd blood draw was this
morning so I got Rylee walked and we headed out. The plan was to go in at
8:00am and then meet up with Penny at Kevin’s for breakfast. I got her in and
after she were done with labs, we headed over and joined my sister for
breakfast. It had been a long time since we had been there and I miss it. Lydia
was able to prop her foot up on the opposite chair and made it through with
little issues. But she was uncomfortable and glad when we got back so she could
rest her foot. Later, she heard back from the med. equip. pharmacy and they had
her scooter request in for insurance approval. So, it’s not ready yet, but at
least it’s in progress. We put together a grocery list, working only 3-4 days
out this time, and I took it and headed out to Walmart. The list was short and
I made quick work of it and was back and had everything unloaded and put away
and was done with that task. The weather has been pretty cold but this
afternoon the winds picked up and it really made it easy to stay inside and
take it easy. I fixed hamburgers for dinner tonight – quick and easy, and we
spent the evening watching our programs until bedtime.
