I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Those of you who've followed along for the last several years know that I call DH a "medical lemon". Things are in the wrong place. Things get missed. The "oh, that NEVER happens" happens.
So, the very nice and very young Endourologist who took out a batch of stones a month ago said to us today--"now that we know what we're dealing with, this'll be much quicker than last time."
Last time was 90 minutes, 3 times longer than usual.
When he said that I thought, "Doc, you've just jinxed it."
He came out 2.5 hours after the start of surgery. Turns out that a wire got left inside DH at some point during prior surgery. It was encrusted with kidney stones. They actually did imaging in the middle of surgery to figure out what the heck he was tugging at.
This is at a world class NYC hospital. Prior surgery was at an even HIGHER class NYC hospital.
Going to bed now. It's been a really long day.
Have fun at the craft fair. I love going to those. I helped my mom when she participated in them. Mom sold tons of merchandise.
As to Covid I just heard the good news that SF is staying WAY low in cases, that it isn't showing appreciably in our waste water yet and that we had only two deaths in September and very low hospitalizations. That said I am like the only living girl in SF City who is masked on the bus anymore, so am finding those numbers amazingly low.
and exercise class at the SC was cancelled as they had 5 cases of COVID today so they are disinfecting the place. Luckily I have not been there in over a week. Guess its masks again this week!
She interrupts me all the time and won't stop despite me giving some hints. That's become my biggest pet peeve.
Whatever it is , I hope it gets better soon ! (((Hugs)))
I’m not there yet . But have heard the whole process setting up SS and Medicare can be a pain .
Cross fingers it gets straightened out soon. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I met a lady at a walking club. She decided to befriend me as I looked new (I was on holiday). She had moved to this lovely seaside town 10 yrs back. Her Husband & her had always planned to do the sea-change at retirement.. but the years ticked on, he sat in his chair, too comfortable to move.
She warned she'd go.
She left for a holiday.
She took the time to think.
She walked into a real estate office & rented a small house.
She returned to the city.
Told him her new address, packed & left.
6 months later he arrived, suitcase in hand, pale, lonely & wondering if this tanned, fit looking beautiful lady would let him stay?
A happy ending. 😊
(She told me it would have been a happy ending for her either way, whether he came or not, she was living her dream 😂).
I mentally took note & thanked her. I said it was a real pleasure, not often had, to meet a guardian angel who had just handed me my future life!
"What we want is on the other side of fear". Can't remember who said that, but I like it.
Please for once, let justice win.
It’s football season in the US… if you have armchair quarterbacks and post-game analysts second-guessing your actions as a caregiver, if they haven’t ever suited up and been tackled, please change the channel.
Do not give them space in your already crowded life.
Do anything with more value, like watch Sharknado or clean the toilet.
Self? Are you listening to this excellent advice? Cuz football isn’t our jam anyway, and those 🤬 people have taken too much time and energy out of what we get on earth. I love you, NOW PAY ATTENTION.
It can't last forever.
((((Hugs))))
