January 22 and 23

Came in at 12pm, got the update from Wedad. Jay was here, asked me about the 2 TV's that have been sitting outside for the last couple of weeks. He said someone here called Goodwill or Big brothers but he wasn't sure. Has anyone called an organization about picking up those 2 TV's??

Talked with Jean, she was still raving about Saturday afternoon. She said the play wasn't so hot, but it was great to see Dudley and the rest of the family. She also got her sleeping/breathing dog that she spotted in the hospital. Wedad found one at Walgreens on Monday for half the price of the one we saw in the hospital.

Maria was here by 1pm and worked until 4:30pm. Jay and I moved the cookbook shelf that was sitting in the kitchen entry way to the end of the kitchen. Jean insisted on moving the tiny white tea cart to that spot instead. It looks like a trip hazard in the making, I will wait to see.

Bill's breathing doesn't seem to be improved, he is still wheezing and out of breath after the simplest task. The pacemaker rep, said that improvement could take weeks to as long as 6 months.

I made hamburgers from the Omaha steak company, they were okay. Jean ate 1/2 of hers and Bill only ate the potato. He had a heavy lunch of bread, mayo, tomato and pork and beans. I don't know the name for that concoction, but we all know what it is. I am glad that Bill is still maintaining his pre surgery eating routine.

I didn't get a chance to post his weight, but as of Thursday of last week he had lost 20 pounds. Jean was very proud of him. We need to continue the "diet," to help him lose as much as he can.
He is down to 224lbs.

Both slept at 9:30pm last night and slept till 10:30am this morning--- amazing...

I made breakfast and they sat out in the kitchen eating, drinking coffee, reading the paper and listening to music until 12:30 this afternoon. Fleming's pest control stopped by and sprayed the house down.

Farooqui's office called- Bill's INR is 1.8- they upped the dosage to 7mg and we will retest in the office next Wednesday. They had not sent the results to Khaled;s office, so I asked them to do so.

I called Maroney's for a pick up tomorrow.

Made brownies for Jean, there are no Hershey's in the house.

Did Bill's pill boxes for the next 5 weeks.

Next week- Bill has a follow up appointment with AZ Arrhythmia to check on his device.
