July 18 part 2

2:30PM Dr. Farooqui appointment, Jean had her weight, blood pressure, heart rate, pulse and oxygen intake checked. Jean has lost 6 pounds in a month. In the hospital she weighed 124lb and now 118lb. I think there are 2 contributing factors to her weight loss. 1- she was ill with diarrhea and vomiting for quite awhile and because of it, has laid off her hershey's bars.= weight loss.

Dr. F- did an evaluation of her memory. Asked her several questions and tested her thoroughly for any signs of memory loss. He said she passed with flying colors and got a 100% on all questions. He did not see a need for her to see a neurologist, at that point I excused myself from the room and called Joan. Joan told me that Skip really wants Jean to be seen and to ask for a referral anyways. I spoke with Farooqui and he said that was fine he would give her a referral and his office would set it up for us. I also got the prescription for the Lovenox to take on the plane. THE PRESCRIPTION IS IN THE DRAWER WITH THE AIRLINE TICKETS. Bill also asked for his weight to be checked 255lb, and blood pressure fine.

Side note- Charlae worked on Bill and Jean today. She did a rub down on Bill and I guess rubbed to vigorously. She pulled off one of the keratosis(skin clumps) on his shoulder and I didn't notice he was bleeding until I got to the doctors office. He had blood all over his shirt. It wasn't serious, but b/c of the coumadin he bleeds profusely. I asked Carly at Farooqui's to clean him up and bandage him. She did.

After the doctors appointment- Jean and I took Bill to get "the works" haircut, shave, nose hair trim, ear hair trim, hot towel etc. While Bill was busy getting worked on, Jean and I strolled over to Coldwater Creek. She bought purses and clothes.

Early dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, quick trip to Pier One and then Target. Stocked on all supplies. Home by 8:00pm- Both watching tv, gave pills and fresh water. Lights off at 9:40pm
