TERRY
It was Saturday so a "no visit day" at rehab. I talked to Terry twice and she sounded good. Today may be a LONG day as there is NO therapy on Sunday so it is stay in bed and watch TV for Terry. I will call her several times to help her pass the time away.
There is a LOT to do before Terry is released on Thursday. There is getting ready to fly next Sunday but a lot more than that as I try to gear up for Terry being home.
- Someone at rehab has to school me in the feeding tube as I know nothing about that.
- I should get some papers in e-mail tomorrow for some finance things that need to be done.
- There should be several talks with rehab people as they said they would do everything they could to make the transition from rehab in a hospital setting to rehab in our home.
- I have started putting things on the dining room table that need to go to Naples.
- Several things need to be in place in Naples before we arrive so more phone calls.
- I think I could list more but will stop!
When I came home from the store yesterday there was an oil leak underneath the pickup. I was able to get a picture of where it was. Now I need to go to Len's Auto tomorrow and find out what the deal is. Darn it I did not need one more thing to deal with. Now of course Dad would know what is wrong and Dave would have known too BUT!!!!
I have a plan for breakfast! This bundt cake breakfast has ham, 12 eggs, Tater Tots, Pilsbury Grands biscuits (diced raw), cheese and some milk. I would like it to be done by the time Travis gets home this morning in case he is hungry. A new recipe but it should be kind of fun. I do not think I can good wrong as all you do is dump everything in the pan and bake it. We will see. As with all my cooking it will be food for the stomach or fill for the garbage can!!! Actually there has been very very little garbage action even if it is not great!
I have been sad about a neighbor down the street. He is in his upper 50s and has early dementia. Pretty much everyday he walks and walks and walks. He did some things that only someone in his condition would do but they were not appropriate. I have not seen him walking for the last few days. I don't know if he is home or not BUT a very sad story.
I think I wrote about our childhood friend Rick Waldera who I just connected with a couple weeks ago. Well his brother Wayne was a VERY successful business guy with Gamble and other business. When Rick called he said his brother was very near death. I googled his name and he died July 5th. His brother Wayne had an estate in the Twin Cities which was kind of a throw back to his childhood with ducks, geese, horses I think and more. It is always interesting when I read about someone from a tiny farm in rural North Dakota who becomes VERY successful in the world. It gives a person more appreciation for the childhood I had. It also debunks the idea that a childhood with little material things means one is poor in their adult life! I don't think I said that very well but if anyone reads it I think they can get my drift.
No, I am wondering if I am down just a bit. I did NOT get my FP this morning but rather I am on my second pod of coffee. I guess I have to analyze that!
Time to put things together and get it in the oven I think. I may take a picture of the finished product to see if the real thing and the picture from the recipe look anything alike!
