November 21 Ruth

Thanks Joanie for the update, I will stay with Bill in the hospital the entire time.
We got home today at 4:50pm, I immediately called Nurse Debbie to find out if she had already called the pharmacy about the prescription. The office had already closed for the holiday and will not reopen until Monday. I left a message with the answering service to have the on call nurse call me back to make sure the prescrip was submitted, waiting on that call.

Bill is officially on a diet, and Jean has made it her duty to watch everything that BiLL puts into his mouth and suggested we call Nutri System to have meals delivered. I don;t know how serious she is about this, but she even ordered lunch for Bill, wouldn;t let him talk.

After the Khaled appointment, we went to the gas station to fill up, stopped at See's and picked up a bunch of candy. Then went to Lesueur's, once in the parking lot Jean said "what are we here for, I don;t want to see him today." She asked me to cancel the appoinment. So I went inside and told the front desk that Jean wasn't feeling well and wanted to cancel the appointment. The woman told me that is fine, just to reschedule for later. We went to Lynn's to pick up her pants and picked up Bill's shirts that have been there since July. Then had lunch at the Quilted Bear.

***Just so everyone knows- we started the xmas decorating yesterday- the house is a mess**** Good Luck to whomever gets to finish it!!!

Walking into the house, Bill ran into that Bowl of Glass balls, Jean had sitting under the a/c controls and broke all of them. They are now in the trash. It is a good idea to clear the hallway and kitchen of any obstacle. Keep all of Jean's christmas decor out of Bill's way. I also moved the basket and umbrellas from the hallway.

We spent the entire day out today and I did not get to witness any of Bill's fainting spells, thank God. I was really worried about being out with both of them today alone. I took them in to each place separately and made sure that Bill was seated before I got Jean. According to Dr. Khaled he needs to avoid almost all physical activity, so I tried to keep him as rested as possible.

Dr. Khaled also wants us to continue with the weekly Coumadin check at Dr. Farooqui's, Khaled gets the results every week and he wants this monitored very closely.

Just got a call from Dr. Khaled personally- he doesn't know if the nurse called in the prescription, if she didn;t it is not a problem. He can start the new pills on Monday.

Off to make Rum Cream Pie and Fruit Salad....
