Still on Track for Tuesday escape!

Well, I didn't get to talk to Dr. Jacobs Wed morning since HE WAS OUT OF TOWN TIL MONDAY!!!  I got up early to be at the Hospital at 8AM.  The right hand here dosen't seem to know what the left hand is doing!! His "Nurse Practioner" happened to see me walking out at 8:30PM and we talked as she csually glanced at Linda's records.  Her blood pressure is responding nicely to the new med regimen and they are pleased.... and so am I.

She is still has a heavy dose of therapy each day and is tired in the afternoon.  She continues to do well and things are still on track to come home Tuesday. 

However, last night she tried to put on her PJ's in the bathroom by standing up and pulling them on.  As she stood on her weaker right leg, she fell to the floor and against the door (Which stupidly opens inwardly).  She was kind of blocking the door and had to scooch forward so I could get the door pen and help her up into the wheelchair.  They X-Rayed her today and nothing was broken but her hand and side hurt and she has a huge black and blue bruise on her right thigh.  Honest to God, the "Luck of the Ericksen's" is tiresome some times. They gave her some Tylenol and iced down her thigh tonight.  She's sore but fine.  She and I got chewed out by the nurse for that little trick!!

Laura and Bill and Audrey are on there way here tonight with arrival at 2AM.  I am to babysit Audrey with Dawn's help tomorrow while they look for houses in Cleveland.  I have not changed a diaper for about 37 years, but at least they don't have those damn big safety pins I used to jab myself or my kids with.  Tape tabs should be great??  Maybe I'll take her to the Zoo or Art Museum.  You are never to young for culture, huh?

I got a load of Linda's laundry washed and dried this morning and scrubbed the kitchen floor with our Hoover Floor Cleaner machine. I put off the ironing of the remaining 6 long-sleeved shirts till Monday.  A man's work is never done!!
