Sleepless in San Marcos

There has to be something broken.

12.02pm
We are in ER of Tri-Cities in Vista. XRays done, we are waiting for the verdict.

3:00pm
No fracture but very inflamed joint. Lots of awful arthritis exacerbated by the fall. Home care 24/7 has been arranged for the next few weeks. Pain meds will be increased. She has slight CHF so diuretics given. Hope this does the trick.

Thanks to my blogging community for all the hugs and prayers.

I am not going to discuss last night

Suffice to say that V no longer has any plumbing issues. So onward and upward, and once more into the fray, dear friends, and other such catchy phrases. I am going back to bed until I hear her wake up.

11:20

We are up, showered and breakfasted. Today is a new day. It is cloudy and cool today, so I guess we will just veg out and watch videos and catch up on some sleep. Michael came over for a visit and has left to go and do some shopping. I think he is lonely. I am going over to the Lake San Marcos Resort Inn to find out if we would be able to park the RV there as it is only a stone's throw from V's residence. I saw a small B class parked there for about a week, so there's no harm in asking. Would be very convenient. They are in foreclosure, so maybe they will need the money. I will go on Tuesday to speak to the manager, Monday being Martin Luther King Day.

Watching Lawrence Welk on TV. It can't get much more exciting than that! I am staying over at V's again tonight.

Now we are watching "Waiting for God" on PBS. I am getting depressed.

I don't know what to title this post

Our poor Virginia is just not well. The cortisone does not seem to be reducing the pain. She is unable to get out of bed or get dressed without help. I have made the committment to her to be over early in the morning until she is able to take care of herself again. She is taking so many pain killers that it is causing problems in the plumbing department, so we have bought some stuff to resolve that. I have pretty much spent the whole day over here while Michael has been home alone.

So nothing to report in the RVing adventure. Except that the weather is wonderful. Shorts and T shirt weather until the sun goes down then it cools right down and very quickly, too! I see Toronto had snow today. I am glad I am not there for that reason, but missing the kids and grands a LOT!

6:29 pm
I am staying over tonight at V's as she will possibly need help to get up during the night and definitely will need the help in the morning.

WiFi Ranger

We are awaiting the arrival of our Wifi Ranger Pro today in the quest for better internet. We'll see if this works. If not it goes back.

After lunch we go over to pick V up for a dentist appointment and a bit of shopping. She has not called us this morning, so I am presuming that all is well and she has managed to get herself out of bed and dressed.

8:00 pm
When we got to V she was up, but still in pain in her back, so she called her doctor who upped her oral dose of cortisone. A sleep, more analgesics and she was feeling better this afternoon.

We did a bit of shopping for her and bought a router for her computer. This was so that we and my sister can go onto the computer when we are at her house.

Our Wifi Ranger arrived and I have set it up. So far so good, We are picking up the campground wifi very easily. We did not buy the exterior antenna, but this may be a future purchase.

So a quiet day doing chores and caring. Nothing too exciting to report!

What a difference a day makes!

Miss V is so much better today. That cortisone shot she got yesterday has started to work and she is so much more mobile. She even put on makeup after her shower. This evening we will load her gently into the car and we are going to have a light dinner with friends. I am heading back to the RV now for a nap.

10:00 pm We have just got home from a lovely evening out. V is improving by the minute. She got herself all togged up in a beautiful outfit that she bought in Palm Springs in December. Pure determination got her out the door and into the car. She is one spunky lady! We had supper over at a friend's house in Vista. Lovely home made split pea and ham soup with herb focacchia bread. Wine and a bit of Bailey Coffee flavoured liqueur. We were in fits of laughter over recounting our disastrous Christmas Day Adventure. It was not so funny when it happened, but now in re-telling the tale we were all crying with laughter. Isn't that odd?  Must be some kind of coping mechanism. Of course that started up the other tales of lost cars in parking lots and other related happenings. I think everyone was trying to outdo our story, they did not even come close.

We are so happy that V is feeling so much better. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and good wishes. God is good!

What adventure awaits us tomorrow hmmmm?
