Just returned home from Rehab. Hubby ate his entire dinner and the plate was licked clean. He has increased his water intake and looked better, though his knee was giving him some pain. The pain will subside if he is able to sit in the wheelchair. I asked him if he had a shower since the surgery the answer was an emphatic NO. He did get a complete rub down and the bed was completely cleaned afterward. The nurse used a formula of detergent and a disinfectant for the mattress, She also let the mattress sit in disinfectant for a good half hour before rinsing and did the process all over again. one side at a time. She said they will do it again in the morning and evening tomorrow. She asked that I bring the shark wand with me. This is something that should have been taken care of prior to the surgery. I felt sorry for hubby while this was being done. He was in bed the entire time. Linens were also changed. He started to fall asleep and that’s when I decided to leave.

I definitely will need to work on the Physical Therapy. I am hoping that can start next week.

Well, the one chair I was hoping to salvage will not happen. It will be tossed over the weekend. Just too many ifs to keep it. I will be contacting a handy person to help me get it outside along with that person helping me to empty some cabinets that were in our den to make sure that they are OK. That also includes lamps and pictures. I am thinking twice about keeping our original mattress and boxspring when the new one arrives next week. I want everything to be spic and span when hubby arrives. His immune system leaves a lot to be desired. I will not be taking any chances.

@oodiebom,

I think I may have shown you this before I don’t know but I have this complete set by
HD. 😎😉

I love wearing it. 💕

I have shown this set on a Heidi Daus Thread a few years ago. 🎈

Oodie I have both sets.

@oodiebom,

We are raining as I type and it is cold I have a fireplace on. I am going to bed.
I made sure the cats had some good food and they are taking shelter.

I did do some yard work today it was one and done. 😎

Getting ready to jump into the shower. The news will have to watch me tonight. LOL!

I hope your husband is getting plenty of fluids. I had a doctor tell me if I did not eat during my pregnant stages
they were going to feed me in the arm. I think all of a sudden I started eating just a little. Tell hubby drink fluids.

@shoelady60,

Peace Out Peeps have a safe and warm evening. 😎😉

Carolina
Song by Taylor Swift

Oh, Carolina creeks
Running through my veins
Lost I was born, lonesome I came
Lonesome I’ll always stay
Carolina knows
Why for years I roam
Free as these birds, light as whispers
Carolina knows
And you didn’t see me here
No, they never did see me here
And she’s in my dreams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don’t leave
I make a fist, I’ll make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
Carolina stains
On the dress she left
Indelible scars, pivotal marks
Blue as the life she fled
Carolina pines
Won’t you cover me?
Hide me like robes down the back road
Muddy these webs we weave
And you didn’t see me here
No, they never did see me
And she’s in my dreams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don’t leave
I’ll make a fist, I’ll make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
Oh
Oh
Oh
And you didn’t see me here
They never did see me here
No, you didn’t see me here
They never saw me
Oh, Carolina knows
Why for years they’ve said
That I was guilty as sin
And sleep in a ‘s bed
But the sleep comes fast
And I’ll meet no ghosts
It’s between me, the sand, and the sea
Carolina knows

“The Christmas Song” Nate King Cole

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots, with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

If I Can Dream Elvis Presley/Austin Butler

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can’t my dream come true
Oh, why
There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won’t that sun appear
We’re lost in a cloud with too much rain
We’re trapped in a world that’s troubled with pain
But as long as a man has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly
Deep in my heart there’s a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer, answer’s gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there’s a beckoning candle, yeah
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream come true, oh
Right now, let it come true right now
Oh, yeah

Much nicer day, sunny and warmer🌞, I could actually stand out on the deck for a little while to cut my husband’s hair.✂

It would be a treat if you could catch a glimpse of T & T. Just look for all the bodyguards hanging all around.😄 I bet she’ll be at a few more games.

We always go out for dinner either Christmas eve or Christmas day, that’s what I’m working on today. All depends on the weather. Last year, Christmas eve was snowy and very cold, don’t want mom to get sick.

I bet the kitties are thrilled to see you back home. Mama Doolittle taking care of her clan.🥰 BTW, loved Jake with his Santa hat. Really miss him. Sending holiday hearts to your house.🎄💖💗🎄

Hubby is Ok, well sort of. He has no pain, but refuses to drink water. I didn’t make it to Costco as originally planned, but will do so today. A physician from the hospital dropped in last night to check on hubby. Hubby was quite pale and the doctor noticed and asked about liquids. He said he wasn’t thirsty, so he gave h im an ultimatum. Don’t drink water, you will need an intravenous. Not sure that raised any eyebrows. I think the nurses let him know that it was like pulling teeth. Might because he is wearing pullups since he cannot walk to the bathroom. Whatever the reason I am on it.

I ordered a pizza and meatball grinder last night. The place I order from is about 3 miles from the rehab and the food is delicious. Less costly than the one from the Bronx area in NY and tastier. Hubby loved the grinder. We used to compare the grinders in Florida to the ones we ordered on lunch break in Ct.. This one beats th em 101% and hubby agreed. There hasn’t been one takeout or delivered that we didn’t like. Best of all you can order on line and have it delivered by a certain time.

Have a wonderful afternoon. It is sunny here. No rain in sight. Going to get a move on.
