Time passes.............

Tomorrow will be the first day of spring and Jack's third week at the nursing facility. He knows almost everyone there and their names, their kids' names, and all their life history! I am stretching that a bit but he has become well acquainted with many. He is like the father confessor and place to stop and chat. He has containers of sweets and anyone who has a sweet tooth can help themselves.

The staff have been very helpful. He became confused one night this week and ended up slipping out of his chair and onto the floor. He said three or four of the female staff grabbed him stood him up and put him right back in his chair. This man weighs 300 pounds and that was no small task. At home I would have had to call out emergency personnel.

We went to the wound clinic and took the "ride along" neighbor to drive. She was well compensated with $ as well as a good lunch at the Santa Fe Cattle Company Steak House. This restaurant has been so accommodating. Of course we try to plan our arrivals at a not quite as busy time if possible but the staff are quick to find a place where Jack is comfortable. And the food is really great. We have had opportunity to try a variety of the offerings on the menu.

Today we are going for a consultation with a surgeon for a fatty cyst. How big and how deep to see how to take it off of Jack's posterior. This will be the next big thing we have to do.

I took Jack a fan yesterday evening because it had turned so warm and his room had a breeze but a hot one. The fan did help as well as a cold drink and a pleasant visit! lol

Must begin the day, the list is long and and there is much to accomplish. When I am at home the phone rings and then the doorbell rings. I may be to go somewhere else to rest.
