Week 24

Hello and welcome back.  What a week last week was but it ended up to be a good one.  Now it's time to get used to a new routine and of course that has put me behind a bit.

Take a look at last week's pictures:

Day 165- Monday, 6/13/22

This new graduate is enjoying his summer break with a good week off between jobs by playing online games with friends and getting used to a new phone.  It was a much needed upgrade as a graduation gift that will be useful college starting in a couple months.

Day 166- Tuesday, 6/14/22

Just when you think gas prices can't get any worse plus we have a new state tax soon to be added that may just push up to the $7 range.  Ouch!  In better news, I was able to attend one of John's PT sessions during my visit today and see him not only walk the parallel bars but also attempt some stairs.  It's great to see his progress.

Day 167- Wednesday, 6/15/22

Wednesday at work--for me I actually get all my in lab work done very early and then before starting the computer work it's coffee first.  Later at home, when walking the dog, the first patch of grass we came across in the park had just blossomed with these clover flowers.  Even though they are weeds they look so fun and pretty like a landscape from Dr. Seuss.

Day 168- Thursday, 6/16/22

Little does she know that her master will be coming home soon.  She still lays religiously where she would be at his feet--such a loyal girl.  I spent most the day getting the house set up for John's return including this downstairs room.  We had very little notice of huis discharge so very little time to prepare, but I think we're ready as can be.  The hardest part is that he's still in the wheelchair and has not been able to fully transition to a walker yet. Insurance says we can do that with in-home therapy and I hope so but really think we need a place with better equipment until he's better on his feet.  Time will tell.

Day 169- Friday, 6/17/22

He's back home!!! And enjoying his time with the family.  First thing Justin and him did was start watching Obi-Wan together on Disney+.  I've also been waiting to watch the end of Ozark with him.  It's good to have him back.

Day 170- Saturday, 6/18/22

So many medications and some are in the morning and some in the evening and some are both.  It's a lot to keep track of but worth the effort of course.  Outside I'm happy to see some nice pillow-like clouds helping to give cooler temps.  I'll enjoy it while I can because it sounds like heading into next week it will triple digits.  Yikes!

Day 171- Sunday, 6/19/22

Happy Father's Day!  What a special day to have him home to celebrate with us.  We had a great brunch and made air-fried chicken wings for dinner to enjoy.

That's all for this week.  Thanks for checking in.
