Not much
going on around here. I’m sure the rest of the nation and the world is the
same. Folks up here are still trying to be friendly and there is no panic and
we still have stuff on the grocery shelves. It looks to be a long wait until we
can get this all behind us. But we will all get through it. Lydia has heard
from her doctor. They are still processing the request for in-home care. Things
are slow moving because of all of the other priorities and the precautions in
getting this service activated. She has two upcoming teleconferences with
doctors the first of the week. Funny, they have both asked to apply the co-pay
for an office visit to these calls!
I made us
diced cubed steak and mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes with green beans.
That’s the first meal she asked for when she came home last week but I needed
to gather up all of the ingredients. It was good and we have some left over for
another meal.

Today is another dialysis day. But we are now on the M-W-F schedule for
1:00pm which means she doesn’t have to get up super early any more. After
walking Rylee, and making her tea and my coffee, I headed off to McDonalds to
get us breakfast. Lydia has been getting stronger every day. Most dialysis days
all she wants to do is rest, which is expected, but she is trying hard to work
on her core as well as arm and leg strength. She is using the walker to go from
the bedroom to her office or the living room. I just wish she would eat more
although I understand the many reasons why she is not hungry and/or food
doesn’t taste good. We continue to have
enough taped tv shows and movies to keep us occupied during our time at home.
The weather here had been perfect and I was outside whenever I could the last
week or so, but now it’s supposed to be gloomy and rainy for the next week, but
hey, this is Oregon so we have green everything!
After
driving to Albany and picking her up, we headed back home. Like everywhere else,
most of our local businesses are closed. I did stop at the IGA in Albany earlier
today, and got a few things but I will have to go out again next week for
groceries. Lydia wasn’t hungry and only wanted soup and only ate a small
portion of that. Later, we watched tv until bedtime.

Except for walking Rylee, we didn’t leave the house today. Very quiet
day just relaxing and watching tv. As I was instructed, I added a flavor packet
to the crockpot roast that sis had assembled yesterday and left in our fridge.
I got that going at 8:00am for slow cooking all day. She came over later and we
ate and spent a nice evening just relaxing and talking and watching tv.
