Prayers do help and thank you for those thoughts. I am getting ready to leave and hopefully, the orthopedist will be able to do the reconstructive surgery. This surgery was postponed three times because hubby forgot which knee needed to be done and wha t the date was. At that time he was in a stupor and later found it was due to one of his meds. Anyway, he came through the bladder surgery in better shape and when I mentioned to the urologist about the knee reconstruction being postponed because of “dementia” he was shocked. Well, it wasn’t really about the surgery, but rather the anesthesia is different. The doctor took a double take on that one. He mentioned that the same anesthesia would be used on the knee. Go figure……

When it rains it pours. Your poor son. Even though he may have a mild case, he will still need to move around and exercise. I do not think there are any meds that would be affective, however, vitamins are helpful especially the Immune ones. I surmise we need to start masking up again when we are out and about. Again, thanks for reaching out on our appointment. I will post when I can.

Yep, that’s the Pickle pin. I cannot stop smiling and it will look nice on my summer hat with the beachy theme.

I arrived later than usual to see hubby. Just could not get started. But, I’m glad I was there. The sight was something to behold. When I arrived the first thing I saw was the empty wheelchair. I thought for sure something was amiss and in a sense it was. I thought for sure he would be sound asleep in bed. But, the second thing I noticed there were no feet at the foot of the bed. Next came the surprise. For the first time he was dressed and had shoes on and was sitting at the edge of the bed. I could not believe it. I actually had to look two or three times for this moment to sink in. Then the next surprise. “I feel like I am in a convalescent home.” ” I am losing my mind.” At which point I added, “thinking you are in a convalescent home shows me you are very observant.” “We have an appointment tomorrow to see if you can get some therapy going on those legs so you can ambulate from one room to another and get in and out of bed on your own as well as in and out of a car.” I also mentioned that I left books for him to read as well as the “Costco Connection.” I know he isn’t into puzzle books, so I have done a few on down time. I mentioned that he should start feeding his mind with books. I bought one on Black Friday dealing with mushrooms. He has yet taken the time to even look at the pictures. I mentioned that I am hoping he will be home soon and that I would need his help in getting from A to B. He was never one to sit back and let someone else do the work for him, but lately, it’s almost like he isn’t trying. Hoping the doctor tomorrow can offer some help. I need to get him out of this situation ASAP.. At least the catheter is out and he is happy that way. Again, I gave him leg exercises to do. He is moving better. I wouldn’t be surprised if by next week he could be standing.

Shoelady, thanks for the well wishes for my son. Hubs tested negative this morning but he’s doing his part by helping eat up my sons ice cream.
Happy New Year to you! We only travel with carry on as well. Makes things much easier.
