Another cool day in June

TERRY

It has been some time since I have talked to any staff at rehab.  I did talk to Terry yesterday afternoon and I feel she is beginning to sound more like herself each day.  Now that is my mind set and not any of the staff there.  I expect a call from the social worker this week as we work out a place for her to move to as she gets better.  I have many concerns about how we can do things with her at home in our St. Paul house but that is something that we will just have to deal with as we get closer to her coming home date.  I still have big concerns about her eating and getting enough nutrients into her body and I do not want to hear that they need to insert a feeding tube.  It is still a "one day at a time" kind of thing.  My concern this week is I know she wants to come home (and I want her to come home) and I hope that she can accept and understand that she will still need some work in a transitional rehab before that can happen.  As always prayers are needed and wanted!

Helen's husband Mike would have celebrated his 76th birthday today if he were still with us.

As the years go by it is easy to see that the world is changing so fast and it is hard to keep up with all that is new.  I read this in the WSJ this morning and thought how in the world can that be?  Then as I read the article it is about the virus.  There is a $300 ring that one can wear and it gives you input as to your temperature and other info that may be the beginning of getting sick.  This is related to the possibility of sports starting up again.  Who would have thought?

The neighbors that have a back yard which is next to us have two daughters.  The oldest one made a lemon cake for her dad for Father's Day and they gave a piece to me, yum!

I actually did get some work done yesterday in the kitchen.  Travis and I saw the South Bend Lees off as they headed to the Boundary Waters and then it was time to get some things done.  I had new kitchen windows put in 2 years ago.  I had painted the windows but had not gotten to the bare wood trim around each one.  So they got primed yesterday.  Now the real work is ahead of me as there needs to be chalking done and then some repair, not much, on the inside trim before the final coat of paint goes one.  It would be nice if I could get that done this week but we will see.  

I really do not get out and about much these days as the virus affects everyone I think.  But Jerry W called about 11:30 yesterday and asked if I wanted to have lunch.  Places are now open for limited number of people to eat in so we met at a cafe in Highland Village.  

No it is time to make a plan for the day and get some things done.  The FP is still not completely finished so will take a few minutes to savor it before I get down to doing something.
