Kathy and I went to Craig’s house this morning to prepare it for him to come home to next week. Kathy sorted his pills, checked for expired bottles, set aside those he no longer takes and fixed his pill box for seven days for him. She found some discrepancies beteeen what he was taking and what the bottle said to take. We made note of them and took a list of concerns to the hospital so they can be addressed and resolved. Grateful for her expertise and help with this project.
While she was doing that I cleaned and got his bed made up. Cleaned out his refrigerator since he has been away from home for ten days. Picked up a bunch of loose rugs that are safety hazards. Did two loads of laundry. I didn’t get it all cleaned but it looks better than it did when we got there this morning.
Ran up to the hospital to see Craig when we were done cleaning and took the med list up to the nurse so it can get sorted out. We lucked out as the nurse was in his room when we got there giving him pills. Found out he was only taking one of his pills twice a day instead of four because the pill is so big he was having trouble swallowing it. The nurse is going to check to see if his insurance will cover the liquid form of it to help solve that problem. He also needs a new script for one of his prescriptions. Thinking the pharmacy may have sent some outdated pills. I’ll check next time I go over to his house and see if I can figure out what happened.
We stopped at Wal-Mart and then headed home. Craig needed a trash can for the kitchen and a shower caddy so he doesn’t have to bend over in the shower for his shampoo. I forgot to stop and drop them off on our way home so will take them by next time I go to town.
The rest of the afternoon is free for me. Tomorrow morning I have a 9:00 meeting at Pioneer Bluffs that is scheduled to go to 12:30. Nicole is coming home tomorrow afternoon so she can see Craig and attend a meeting with him at the hospital Monday morning with his care team. I’m helping with Match Day at the mall Monday afternoon for a bit. I am going to Topeka Tuesday for my ultrasound. My week should slow down after that though.
Misty, cloudy day on the prairie today. Not getting much moisture as it is just a light drizzle. I turned my fireplace on when I got home to try to take the chill out of the air. I sure feel the cold now that I am hypothyroid. Almost miss sweating on days like this!
Need to get my house cleaned and do my chicken chores. Hate to walk out in the damp, cold air to go down to the chicken coop. Only getting a couple eggs a day so barely worth going down for. They are officially slackers now.
Grateful Craig gets to come home next week. Grateful the kids have stepped up and will be there to support him. Grateful for what moisture we are receiving on the prairie today. All is well!
Your no slacker, I get worn out in your post sometimes!
