What a busy day. I was up early to continue working on the MB. Hubby not feeling well. Phone rang at 8am from the Electrician’s Office to confirm that we are keeping the appointment. I could not answer in time. Tripped over something in the middle of the floor. Twisted my right hip and saw stars. I am fine and returned the call. The electrician was not supposed to be here before noon. He was here at 10:30 AM. Did not like what he saw of the wiring in the lanai or in the shed. Took a look at our panel and went Yikes. So, guess we need a new panel. Told me not to use the den until he returns or if the roofer comes let them look at it structurally. He thinks the den is not sound, but will wait on the workers. Then the neighbor across the street came over. He said he had checked the wiring in the shed and he will be able to do some of the repairs. He is the one who owns his own construction business. I promised hubby that we would go out for lunch so I could rest. Tired is not a word I like to use, but, I am. Oh yes, our physician contacted us around 9:15 AM. It was the Assistant and I just love her. We made an appointment for hubby on Wednesday next week in the afternoon. She asked about the ER and how everything went. I gave her an earful. I was told there was valet parking. There was none. The hospital permanently got rid of this. I told her how many times I had to go around the parking lot before I actually found a spot. The EMT told me to go through the main doors of the outpatient area. I did so only to find out that I had to turn around and go through the main entrance to the outside and then walk to the ER which was equivalent to 4 or 5 blocks from where I was. Got to the ER and was given directions to hubby. There were no room numbers posted in the ER. Finally found where I was supposed to be. Hubby was discharged three or four hours later. There was a DR. no name tag, just a tag that said DR. For all I knew she could have been an imposter. There was no info regarding the discharge. Could he take his meds, what type of meal should I prepare. The list goes on and on. Oh yes, I was told to bring an overnight bag with a change of clothes. He was still in PJs. I did so. But he was discharged wearing a hospital gown. Guess we couldn’t go dancing…….They gave me a bag with his shoes.
Today he was looking for his shoes. They were still in the bag from the hospital. Found something of a discharge paper inside. No one said anything about it. Now our physician’s office know why we go five to eight miles out of our way to another hospital. Both hospitals are affiliated. The one we go to will not let us leave until I have all the info and know what to do. That’s the hospital where the knee surgery was to take place and where I go for my mams.

Tonight we will sleep on our beachy theme. The mattress cover is on top of the bed getting some air to let it rise about two inches or more. Will put the new bottom sheet on and then will figure out how the bed rail will go. I have a neighbor two houses away that can help if I fail.

Because of the problem with hubby’s knee and some other problems, I’ve let the housework go on the back burner so to speak. Then came the visits with the orthopedist followed by 3 days of physical therapy for 3 months. Then the days for surgery and the prep prior. Now I am behind the eight ball and trying to make up for loss time. I’ve made progress. I am aiming for the end of February to head North. Normally, we would wait. But Easter and Passover are very early this year. The first Sunday in April is Easter and I think either one or two days prior is Passover. The migration of people heading North will begin the first week of March. Bumper to bumper traffic through our Interstate and also on I-95. Hotels are probably booked already in anticipation of getting from point A to B or whatever. I will not make any reservations until we know the weather. February is the worse month for snow and in some cases freezing temps. I also want this house in order before we leave in approximately 5 weeks. Oh my, I really could use an awaycation……….

Love the gifs of the cutest babes. Is that a hint to your girls??????😀😀😀😀

I forgot to mention that I received Heidi’s packages today. Yes, packages. I ordered two pins. Bought the horse on sale and it reminds me of the Oriental horse that we see at various stores. The other is the dancer. Both magnificently done and not one stone out of place or in the box. I was concerned with the horse. It was shipped from Seattle and every day there seemed to be a reason that it was backlogged. It took over two weeks to arrive. The dancer, two or three days. The dancer is unbelievable. She captured the movement brilliantly. Love both.

Just remembered. Another appointment with MV on the license. I hope they send me to the right building this time. Oh yes, tomorrow is Trivia. I should be there.
