Feb 14th to Weekend Jennifer

Sorry for the delay, Here is the weekend update.

Thursday Vday was pretty quiet, Jean enjoyed all her flowers and candy she recieved from Bill for vday. She spoke to Cookie who called to wish them a happy vday, Jean then invited her to Bday girls on Friday, as it was Teddy's bday and Jean was NOT keen on Bill and I having to go to with her. She seemed anxious that Bill would rush her through lunch with the bday girls. Bill was not excited in the least to go to lunch, he really doesnt wanna do anything, I think its a combination of his rib fx and the fact that he has fallen or about to fall everytime he goes out.

Jean very busy moving and re arranging all over the house. She really really wants silver stripes painted on her black table now. She had me look all over for silver paint, all I could find was Pewter kit. I told her I would let Cory know about it. She had me move pics, and rearrange some of her nik naks. She had about 50 pages torn out of 5 diff magazines that she wanted to buy, most of the stuff she already owned.

Friday- Showered Jean and Bill, Bill really needed it as he spilled his urinal all over him, so it was necessary for him to shower, he just wanted to change his clothes, but I insisted he needs to have a good shower. It took a little prodding but he did it. Jean dressed and ready for Cookie, she arrived at 1130 and took Jean to El-chorro for lunch with the bday girls.

Around 2pm I called to find out where they were, which was at Biltmore Shopping, she said Jean went to tons of stores, and asked what cards Jean had, as she was using the cash she took out for bday girls, I told her amex must be with Jean as Bill doesnt have it. It was, they only came back with one dress and 2 pairs of shoes one a boot. They got home at 545pm.

Saks called apparantly Jean placed an order to be delivered at home, for 1200! at Estee Lauder, I guess she forgot she placed a 300.00 one for her Vday gift from Bill from Nordstroms. Avril from Saks called to say she needed a billing address, I told her forget the order, she was a little miffed, but cest la vie! Jean keeps asking about the order, I told her "Jean you already placed an order for Estee from Nordstroms, all she really cared about was the "gift with purchase' some hideous crocidile tote. Probably worth 20 dollars.

Bill called me all weekend, for many different reasons, I tried to make him more independent but it didnt work, I feel bad for him I think he has a fear of falling now. I cleared out all the clutter surrounding his chair/lamp/desk area so now he has a 4ft walkway to walk through, I also strongly suggest using the urinal and Jeans bathroom if he has to go to the toilet, its safer than his.

When Cookie arrived and brought Jean in, I was in the middle of putting on Bills socks, the anti embolytic ones, Jean was coming down the hall, and Cookie was at the threshold of the door, bringing in the items Jean bought. Jean may have had slipperey shoes (rained Friday) and she tipped over and slid down the side of the door, fortunatly we were both there to save her so to speak from 'crashing" to the ground. I assessed her from head to toe, and the only thing she had was a skin tear very minor on her L elbow where her elbow slid down the door jamb. I cleaned and dressed it. I gave her two tylenol and watched her closley she had no c/o pain, or decreased movement or difficulties the remainder of the day. I too noticed Bills little 3 scrapes on his arm from his fall with Ruth, I cleaned and put neosporin on them.

I only got one receipt from Cookie for the dress, she said they may be in Jeans purse.. I dont see them but I will check the bags that made it home.

Weekend pretty good, I hope Bill can sleep through the night for the other girls, its hard to not sleep yet run around all during the day as you all can atest too.

Some suggestions:

A queen size bed for downstairs.. its been 4 years of sleeping on a twin that Cookie bought at a mismatch sale for 79 bucks! I feel like the princess an the pea lol. Maybe we can chip in and get one, Queen at the wholesalers is about 400.oo ? just a thought.

Clear out clutter, our downstairs, bathroom and drawers are really getting cluttered, by Jeans cast away beauty products, I will work on the drawers under the TV and try to de clutter, its, and the closet, which is a lot of my left there clothes.

Im going to be bring my dryer lint removal kit, as the dryer takes forever to dry, not cost effective at all. And i know we dont over pack it and we empty the lint trap, maybe its just so compacted with lint? I will try it this weekend.

Bill has not shown any interest in going anywhere, he grumbles an sighs at the thought of going out and going to dinner, and he really is fine with sitting watching TV and getting served dinner back in his room. But Jean is stuck at home, wanting to just move paintings and switch furniture around as an activity. Maybe we can :

Get Bill on a antidepressant? I know hes on one but Im sure its not effective anymore.

And maybe we can plan more activities where Jean gets picked up, and goes our for a few hours. Whats the point in forcing Bill, he lolligags to get ready, hes miserable the time hes out, its a huge safety risk and he really doesnt show any enthusiasm, as evidenced by the fact that he takes his card out immediatly when we get there, so we can leave quicker "quoted from Bill"

Also Farooqui sucks! the staff is incompetant and RUDE, Farooqui served his purpose and now its time to move on. I checked on Aetna and did the doc grade report

this is a gerontologist which I feel they need
