Weekend was pretty quite, arrived on Friday to find Jean completely ready, house clean and groceries about to arrive. Bill only needed to be prompted to get ready. Jeans eyes were really bad, watery, dry and red. I see Melissa had been trying anything to get her comfortable, cold wash clothes, benadryl, eye drops, avoided eye makeup. She seemed miserable and her r cheek looked swollen as if she had a sinus infection, she had no green drainage, but upon occluding her R nare she couldn't blow in or out. I laid her down on the bed with Head of pillow propped up and heat pack on R cheek/eye area. We still had 2 hours left to resolve this and I figured Bill was the only one not ready. Long story short, Jean didn't want to go and asked that we call Joan or Andrew, Jean said to Bill do you want to go and he said NO! that's too late for dinner I am hungry now.. they proceeded to argue about him wanting to go only to eat or to see Andy for his bday. I called Joan had her talk to Jean . Andy called his grandparents, which was really great as it made Jean feel less guilty about not going. Hopefully he will schedule a day to come and have lunch or dinner with them.
Made dinner, Melissa stayed and put away all groceries, cleaned up from Jeans shower and helped prepare evening routine.
Jean /Bill ate, had dessert, took all pills, I had Jean rub some Vick's under her R nare, and use her eye drops she said her eyes were less itchy.
They went to bed about 930 after murder she re wrote over and over lol
Saturday AM
Jean and Bill both up at 830 out to kitchen, made eggs and cereal and toast both reading news paper talking about new development in front of where Skip and Joan now live.
Jean wanted a shower, cleaned up bedroom, refilled tissues, emptied garbage's, TONS ans TONs of papers torn out of magazines that Jean wanted me to call Cookie so they can go shopping.
I told her I did call but I didn't call her, as Cookie only seems to pop up during the pre holiday shopping time. Spoke to Joan about it and she said always a caregiver must be with them, I explained that Cookie is cleaver and may make plans under the guise of all of them going out then change it in front of Jean to "how about you and I go get some lunch and window shop"
which means the caregiver on duty cant always interject "No we have to come" as this results in a battle to maintain independence for Jean.
Cleaned up house, finished all laundry, aired out house especially their room, turned up a/c to 83 since it was so nice, didn't need it on. Bill mad that his door is open and air coming in room, but it really needed it.
Fresh water for both, set up for Jeans shower,
showered Jean and lotioned her, put on new clothes, I too have a really hard time doing her hair, I have no idea how Liz cut it, and I remember the picture but that person had very diff hair than Jean, and I can never get it with the boy side part and an extreme "bump" flipped over without practically burning her ear off!.
rest of day uneventful.. both relaxed Jean and I came out to living room to look at her Halloween decorations.. she's planning Christmas already lol
