Her son Billy spent the night with Tanis and reports they took the crash cart away during the night. She can open her eyes a bit and responds to stimuli on the right side but not the left. Her son David will relieve Billy later today. My brother has a home health care aid in today for 4 hours and his ex, Carolyn, so that helps. I’m sure the next few days will determine a lot.
I managed to get some sleep last night but it was an uneasy sleep. I got up a 7 and had coffee and cereal and then did my morning walk (1.0) miles. I am still too out of shape.
Just as I set out on my walk, I ran into a beautiful branch of frangipani (Plumeria).
The branches are succulent like Aloe vera and they produce a poisonous latex.
Toward the end of the finger canal street, I saw Denyse pull out to go to work. She sometimes cleans my pool when I’m away on long trips. I really like her. She never hesitates to stop and talk with me and catch up. I really do have good neighbors!
With everything happening to Tanis and Archie, it’s been hard to get back into a routine. I certainly have some anxiety for them, Ashley, Billy and David. I do have a clear schedule today and tomorrow and Thursday I go in for a CT scan to determine my cardiac calcium score. The new cardiologist wants to compare the new score to the old score to see how much more calcification has occurred.
Oh! I have to call the plumber. My toilet will flush but will not refill. In old toilets, there was a copper float you could work with but with the newer toilets, you have to replace the apparatus. I’m too old and stupid to do that any more so I’ll call a professional to do it. Unfortunately, they always have to order the part.
Stay tuned!
