Good morning!
Gotta be fast here. Scottie and I have our standing 7:30 date with Lori & Duchess from across the road for our walk. We will probably pick blackberries this morning. They should be ripe. Then it will be laundry for me so Bill can pull the washer and dryer. Then a bath for Scottie so Bill can pull the laundry tub. Busy times here today!
My AK SIL is failing rapidly. My DB made it home last night so he is with her now. And a friend who works at the hospital and has authority found a more permanent bed for her in a medical rehab wing. Otherwise they were going to have to send her to Anchorage or down to Washington. Can't believe Alaska doesn't have a single certified memory care facililty in the entire state.
Most of yesterday was spent in Seattle with Bill's uncle. 3 visits, lunch, nurse conference, and then touring the rehab facility. All with Bill's cousin who turned every conversation with medical staff into a conversation about HIS experiences with surgeries, what HIS insurance would cover, what HIS dad was going through. It added at least an extra hour to our day and put us smack into rush hour traffic. Between you and me I wanted to slug him! Staff was all patient and polite with him but you could see they weren't too happy about their time being wasted either. But the good news is that, after 12 days, Uncle ernie finally woke up! Is somewhat alert and oriented, and PT even got him to stand up - twice. Progress! Rehab later this week for a few weeks and then??? Cousin insists he's going to make Ernie go to assisted or senior living. I can't see Ernie agreeing to leave his home of 60+ years. Going to get interesting.
Today is laundry for me. Maybe some woodstacking and maybe some sewing. Supper will probably be something chickeny or pasta. Spaghetti? Penne? We'll see. got to run! Yum to all!
