January 8,9,10th Ruth

Arrived early Tuesday morning to take Bill to the lab, after much lallygagging Bill finally got dressed and we left. We arrived at the lab only to realize that I had forgotten the lab order form that Dr. Khaled gave me, so I called Khaled's office to ask them to fax it over. After waiting 20 minutes we left and went back home to get the form.

Arrived home around 11am, spoke to Jay about some water rotted table leaves and the Christmas tree. Bill took his mandatory potty break and we were off again. On our way to the lab, we stopped by Khaled's office to pick up some duplicate copies of surgery instructions that I had lent to Joan, they were very polite and Nurse Debi called me later in the day to make sure that we were still going through w/the procedure. For some reason they thought we were cancelling. I told her no, Bill's surgery and his enhanced breathing was priority number 0ne.

Got to the lab and were in and out within 30 minutes. Home by 1pm.

The rest of the afternoon was fairly quiet, Jean was very agitated all day, wanting to move furniture and pictures. Maria and crew were here when Bill and I got back, so Jean was out talking with Maria, letting her know what she wanted done. I need to call Ruben and have him come out to do the windows.

Jean talked all night-- she explained later that she was at the beach with Casey and Carson and they were throwing plastic bags in the ocean. She was screaming in her dream, "PICK THAT UP AND THROW IT IN THE GARBAGE, YOU NAUGHTY BOYS." Quite a night.

Cookie stopped by. Jean and I sorted through the jewelry some more and I separated alot of the rings, watches and bracelets in the new drawers. The ring caddies haven't arrived yet, I am thinking they were not actually ordered because I never got a confirmation and it has been more than a week.

If someone could browse thru the web and see if you can find a nice storage solution for Jean's jewelry that will fit nicely in that dresser that she wants to use now.

I ordered Christine's birthday gift from circuitcity.com, it will arrive here. When I explained what we had ordered Jean got very excited and said she needed one too. We will see if she remembers that one, I did not order one for Jean though.

Cookie took Jean to Arcadia Farms, See's candy and Beauty Brands, SHE WILL BE BACK NEXT WEEK TO TAKE JEAN TO GET HER NAILS DONE.

John coming today.

I filled 6 of Jean's pill boxes- weeks 5 and 6 need Plavix though.

I took the Coumadin and Metformin out of Bill's boxes for this week and next. He should not have any beginning on Friday the 11th- please watch his sugar intake this weekend. No ginger ale, no coffee cake- I will fill the remainder of Bill's boxes next week.

Have a good weekend Y'all-
