Hanging out in San Marcos

Not much to report today. Just taking care of Dear Virginia. We have had to take her off the slow release morphine as it was just too powerful for her. She is just a little scrap of a thing. 100lbs soaking wet. Visits by RN and Hospice Dr.

Nice sunny day, but cool. I overheard someone say, "It's freezing!". They don't know what freezing is! At least there was no ice this morning. That's all for today. Maybe I should have spent some time adding information to some of my pages, like the one about iPad Apps and tips. It is much more fun to sit and chat.

Freezing, Fish and Followers

I was up early this morning so that I could be at Virginia's home before the caregiver left. I noticed when I got out to the car that there was ice on the roof and the windshield. Of course we were snug inside, especially with our Sunbeam Heated Mattress Pad. We have found that it uses very little electricity and works better than an electric blanket.

The day with V was quiet as she slept most of the day. In the late afternoon we decided that she was well enough to go out for dinner, so off to The Fish House Vera Cruz in San Marcos. Michael had the Scottish Salmon, I had Rock Fish and V had a small lobster tail. Absolutely delicious.

I would like to welcome our newest followers, Barry and Denise, Hembree, Allen and Lolita, Nan, Jessica and Harry, John and Bridget, Bob and Jo, and if I have missed anyone, please forgive me.

ABC = Amazon for Breast Cancer

Just a quick note that I have decided to donate all Amazon income for January to June, to the Breast Cancer Society, This for Virginia.

Are you kidding me??

My weather widget says it is going down to 1C tonight. For you Americans that is 33.8F. Just look over to the top right >>>>>>>

Quick update on V. The caregiver last night was great. I arrived there this morning and V was sitting up at the dining room table, reading the paper. All that was left for me was to get her breakfast for her, give her her morning meds and then she went back to sleep for a few more hours. We are going back later to get her dressed for dinner and take her to the dining room. Escort Service will bring her back to the condo. Jonie comes back in at 9:00 pm.

I am in the RV and updating my blog (as if you didn't know). I have added a page of links to Shopping Flyers and Coupons. I am starting off with the USA, but will add Canada soon as well.

I am still working on review of the WiFi Ranger as I am actually not sure if I have set it up properly. Didn't have much time over the past few days. Now what was it that I was doing?

7:00 pm
We got back to the Chateau to get V ready for dinner and she met us at the mailboxes. She was walking with her walker, a little spaced out from her new pain meds (maybe we need to reduce it just a little as she is such a tiny lady) but she does say that she feels she has "turned the corner". Good news! We may not need the night caregiver beyond tonight. We are so happy!

Progress!

After yesterday in the ER we are making progress as far as V's health needs are concerned. Twice a week with Hospice (V does not qualify for 24/7 hospice). A caregiver for overnight needs and days will be taken of with family and friends. Pain medication has been changed. Plans for the future have been discussed between V and I. So I am sleeping at home tonight, with the assurance that someone will be with her.

Later I will post a review of the Wifi Ranger which I installed last week.
