The beginning of my note went poofed before I finished. Go figure. Anyway, I did see hubby yesterday. I forgot to bring Kindle and my new jacket. Remembered as I was on the road to
Rehab and didn’t want to turn back. As I was signing into the guest book, hubby was being wheeled from the dining room to his room. He was really excited to see me. He ate everything at dinner and I was a happy person. We talked for about an hour and a half and then he started to doze off. While he slept I grabbed some noshes and laid them on his tray since he was still in the wheelchair. The TV was on to the Discovery Channel and they were in a veterinary clinic. Hubby awoke and his first question was when is the veterinarian going to be here. I had to ask it two or three times because I thought I heard it wrong. Anyway, had to explain that we do not have a pet yet, so he/’she wouldn’t be here. Oh, and he fell back to sleep. So funny. He awoke about 15 minutes later to grab a bite from the table with no recollection of the vet. I left a little after 9 pm.

Hubby is very itchy. Today I will bring the Sharp with me along with something to spray on the mattress and it’s cover. The last time I looked there were tiny white spots on the mattress cover which I took off. I met with the head nurse again and he said I can do whatever and if it works he will purchase and tell the people to use it in all rooms. I had a similar problem here with the dust mites. I used a regular vacuum on the mattress and threw the mattress cover into a plastic bag and left it outside in full sun for the entire day. After vacuuming I then sprayed the mattress with a chemical that went after the bugs and a week later did the process all over again. I haven’t had a problem since (knock on wood). I also mentioned that while doing the process, hubby should shower from head to toe. After toweling they can apply the prescription for the itches. He should be itch free in two or three days. Though the spray also kills the eggs, I like the two step process to be sure. And, actually, the vacuuming does this as well. Evidently, the housekeeping staff does things superficially because they have many rooms to go through each and every day.

Tonight I will pick up a couple of grinders from a pizza place that is three miles from Rehab. I’m sure hubby may not be hungry for his, so this is just in case.

Well, back to what needs to be done and will leave for the rehab around 4::30 pm. I leave when hubby is falling asleep for the night. Hopefully, he will be home next month.
