What a day this has been. I contacted the Wildlife experts and they will be out here Monday in the afternoon. These are people that have helped us for at least two or three years. The Vapor Barrier people have been asked to be here as well. There isn’t one day next week that I will be able to sleep late. Just hope there will be on interference to keep me from seeing hubby.

I was at the Rehab in time for dinner and as I past the Nurse’s station I was told he was in the dining room. I hurried to his room where I could leave two bags of clean laundry and an overnight bag with Kindle and a new Amazon Electronic toy for hubby. Rushed to the dining room only to find empty table and chairs. One of the workers mentioned he was outside and had not eaten. I rushed to the lanai and saw him through the window. He was sitting in front of a doorway to the dining room. No one thought to bring him indoors. No one thought to tell the Aides that he was outside. He was barefoot. Socks were in his coat pocket. I felt he needed dinner before putting the socks on. Went to the dining room where we waited at least 10/15 minutes and no food. Went back to his room and as I passed the nurse’s station saw the head nurse and mentioned what happened. He was livid. About 20 minutes later he arrived with tray in hand and hubby had a feast. He ate everything on his plate and then I went to the cookie drawer and brought out what was left. Tomorrow Costco for sure.

Last night was a nightmare for hubby. The nurse on duty refused to give him Benedryl or lotion for the itch. Said she needed the doctor’s OK. So hubby didn’t get much sleep, yet he had tons of energy when he was with me. The head nurse had cream for the itch which he gently rubbed on prior to bedtime. Tomorrow he will have a special shower in the morning. Hopefully, he will be completely healed prior to surgery.

When I was getting ready to leave, the head nurse returned and we had a discussion. He now understood why the surgery is necessary. I am hoping that he can return to some type of normalcy. He will spend at least an overnight at the hospital. Not sure if more than that will be needed. He will return to rehab for at least a week to make sure he can go to the bathroom without pain. I am hoping that the surgery will be successful.

There isn’t one day next week that I will have time for ME. Monday the wildlife expert will be here in the afternoon along with our Vapor Barrier people. Tuesday and Wednesday the Electrician and Plumber. I am hoping that I will be able to purchase a fresh turkey. Thursday is gobble gobble day and also the pretests prior to surgery the following Monday. I cannot believe that they are testing Thanksgiving Day. He has to be at the hospital at 7am. I will try to make it and afterward will take him to the cafeteria for breakfast. I just hope they are opened.
Friday is a ME day. Trim, color etc..

It’s almost time for the weekend. Drive carefully if you are heading out. Wish you were taking Poppy. He will be missing you and hurting until your return. I love the mountains in Colorado. I just hope that the weather is in your favor so you can at least enjoy a day or two in the mountain air.

Oodie, you and your hubs have seen some lovely places in Asia. Sounds like it was a great time and good memories. Your $2.00 dinner is a great experience. Prices were much higher on our trip.
Wanted to let you know that I am experiencing some issues with Aldi’s as well. The fruit and veggies seem old. My apples had lots of brown spots, and the sweet potatoes grew something moldie. Anyways, I am being cautious with my purchases there. My hubs loves it and buys a lot of items for his smoothies.
Hope you have a great weekend.

Sheba, Hiking again and very happy about it. Today I went early and huffed and puffed up the trail. I slipped in thick mud (from the rains a few times) and only fell once on the steeper down hill side. Needed to get in my hike before the next rain. Saw 1 Coyote crossing the trail on the way out. My son is super busy at work and still a bit sick. Tomorrow I may venture up to his section of the house to access cleaning needs.
How are you doing? Those bedroom pictures and places you want to go all look so perfect.
Wishing you and yours an early Happy Thanksgiving.
