November 6 Ruth

I arrived at 9:00am to find Bill dressed and ready to go to his appointment. Charlae told me that he had been asking for food for the last hour or so. I told Bill that we would hurry. I noticed Bill had a peculiar malodorous odor, I asked Charlae if he showered and she told me that he refused. I am not sure if we can attribute this to his sore back or if this is a new phase of his refusal to bathe properly. Either way I talked to Jean about it and she agreed to start coaxing Bill to be more hygienic, Jean has a knack for getting Bill to do what she wants.

Bill and I arrived at Sonora Labs and walked right in. I was unable to find his AETNA insurance card and there is a possibility we may get a bill for a few of the tests not covered by Medicare. The phlebotomist took 5 vials of blood from Bill and had to use 2 different needles. While she was changing needles I ordered breakfast from the Quilted Bear for Bill to go. He loves their eggs benedict, we left the lab and picked up breakfast and drove home.

Once home, Jean was at her desk, we talked shortly and Charlae got her ready for her massage. I served Bill his breakfast and then started on his pill boxes. Got the majority of them done, but we are short of Lunesta. I did 5 weeks worth of pills and there are only 30 pills, so when the meds show next month I will fill the rest of the boxes.

Spoke with Jay about the rodent problem we have outside. There was bird feathers everywhere and rabbit fur... gross

After Jean's massage, I got Jean ready for her appointment at Way Cool. Arrived at the salon at 2pm. The salon is more ghetto than Jean explained, but her hair turned out great and it is cheaper than Mane attraction. I vote that she keeps going there, Liz does a great job.
Our plan was to get Jean into Ashley's nail salon, but we decided to stop for coffee and brownies and by the time we finished at Coffee Bean is was already 4:30pm so we came home. Will do nails tomorrow.

Jean's calf is really bothering her today, I don;t know how she pulled it but she is in alot of pain. We are going to Farooqui's tomorrow for more blood tests and a Coumadin check. I spoke with Farooqui this afternoon to ask about the dosage of Coumadin Bill should be taking. He told me based on the tests his office ran on Friday Nov. 2- Bill is anemic and Dr. F wants to know where the blood is going. He told me to come in tomorrow for stool cards and more tests. He also asked me to check Bill's stools for blood. I asked Bill to save his BM's so that I could see if there was any blood. Bill told me he didn't see any on the toilet paper and I did not see any blood of any kind. Stools were also not black. I will relay the info to Farooqui tomorrow.

On schedule for tomorrow, we will leave the house by 12pm- Farooqui's

2:45pm Dr. Khaled chemical stress test.
