MONDAY - I thought I mention 4 things today.
First, things are going just the same. And, that's good.
Second, here's a photo of my midline. That is what the IV [Fred] gets connected to by
about a 6' tube. Fred is in a bag about the size of a fanny pack with an electronic dispenser and the IV bag of antibiotic. Fred goes off at 4:30pm and 4:30am and has a very slow drip the rest of the time. If I am on the move, I coil up the tubing in the bag. If I am sitting or in bed, I just lay Fred on a table close by. Does the tubing get caught in the wheels of my office chair? Yeah. Has Dawn tripped over it? Yep. But no harm done so far.
Third, I forgot to tell you that I got a shower a few days ago. OK, personal hygiene is a bit different and has been since March. Right now, Dawn has to wrap my midline [from armpit to elbow] in plastic wrap in order for me to get wet in the shower. Taking a shower is a two person operation for sure. I am still not totally stable although I can walk fine....just slow. And, because I am not really generating much/any body odor from exercise, then my personal offensiveness seems to be minimal. Hey, I LOVE my morning hot shower every day. It's just different now.
Fourth, the flowers are from our yard except the gladiolas are from my mother and father in law's yard. The snow balls are from our yard too but they are about gone. To say Dawn is nuts about Bells of Ireland is an understatement but they are lovely in a vase.
