Tuesday and Wednesday- 29,30th RUTH

Joanie it was a simple mistake that I caught right away- hence the comment at the end. My apologies for the no name thingy.

Yesterday was quiet. Cookie came by at 1:30pm to pick Jean up to take her out to lunch. They were gone for about 3 hours. Groceries were delivered by 6pm. Jean sat in the kitchen for about 3 hours looking for a picture she saw last week in some magazine or catalog. She wanted to go shopping on Wednesday at the Shops at Gainey and this particular picture had a dress that she wanted, the shop was at Gainey.

The night was peaceful until about 4am, when Jean started screaming at Bill to stop hitting her dog. Bill woke up and told her that she didn't have a dog. She kept going on and on about her dog, I had to go upstairs to explain that there was no dog here and Bill was sleeping not hitting any dogs. She went back to sleep after that.

Both awake and at the breakfast table by 9am, ate and read the paper until 10:30am. I asked Jean to meet me in the bathroom because we had to get going. The plan was for Cookie to stop by and take Jean out while I took Bill to his doctor's appointment. Cookie here got here earlier than expected so I rushed Jean, once Jean was ready and out in the kitcheN, Cookie decided to fart around and help Jay fix some blinds, so Jean waited for her at the kitchen table.

I helped Bill in the shower, and then he got himself dressed. He is still wheezing after short walks to the kitchen, but it is not as bad as it was. We left the house to go to AZ Arrythmia....everything went well. The nurse Claudia checked his device and said everything looked good, better than she expected. She said the new lead was healing properly and that he should see some real improvement in the next six weeks. We scheduled an echocardiogram for the end of February so they can view how his heart is pumping, after that they will do the necessary tweaking to get his device up to it's maximum potential. 6 weeks after that appointmetn the doctor will see him to check on his device.

After we left the doctor's office, we met Jean and Cookie at Kierland. Our intention was to get Bill a haircut and shave, there was no parking spots availiable, so we decided to have dinner first. Ate at North, the food was very good, Bill especially like the artichokes. After dinner Bill and I walked to the restroom, which was abnormally far. Bill had to sit mid way and he nearly passed out. TO ANSWER JOAN'S QUESTION ABOUT BILL'S BREATHING---- he has shown minor improvement, but today wiped him out. He did fine walking to the doctor's office, but he couldn't catch his breath after we attempted to make it to the bathroom. It is still too early to have Bill out galavanting around town. He still needs to take it easy, and limit his walking. As soon as we made it back to the table, he said he wanted to go home. We did not get the hair cut and shave, he was pooped.

Cookie and Jean arrived soon after us, MAJOR DAMAGE----- Jean went to some shop at Gainey called Objects- she bought 3 things- all UGLY!!!!-
jacket 405.00
shirt 252.00
shirt 92.00
EVERYONE NEEDS TO CONVINCE HER TO TAKE THEM BACK--- THE ARE GOD AWFUL HIDEOUS--- AND WAY TOO EXPENSIVE.
Chicos after that- haven't found the receipt yet, but she bought alot of stuff. Many pieces are multiples, I will go thru it tommorrow and check to see what she has vs. what she bought and try to assemble a package of returns.
They also went to Barnes and Noble and bought more CD'S

That's all---Tommorrow I will take Bill to Farooqui's to get his INR checked. Charlae will be here to sit with Jean.

There are 3 appointments next week for Jean. I will update the online calender now.
