February 22-24th Weekend Jennifer

Weekend went pretty smooth. Bill still pretty much the same, I hope we can get him to a Gerontologist and see if we can get him on an antidepressant that maybe will help him get out of his funk. He seems to be back to his old eating style, despite all our efforts, he still tells me he's hungry after eating the "lumber jack Ruth breakfast".

I used my dryer cleaner from the outside port, tons and tons of Jeans tissues came out, maybe the dryer will work a little more efficiently.

Cookie coming today at 1pm to take Jean to lunch with her and Kerry and Jordan. Bill doesn't want to go. I am however going to have him shower and shave. I would like to get him to V's maybe this Friday when Melissa stays with him for Jeans results at Khalids, I can then come and get him and take him to V's, for a good clean up.

Jean wants a new hairdresser, she seems to think Liz only works one day a week now, and I don't think she likes the location. She's taking about going back to Jackie, "olena goes to her" Don't even get me started on Olena. Anyway, Jackie is OK, but she moves too much, twice Jean and I showed up at appointments and she wasn't there, as she had moved salons. What about a mobile beautician? they do nails and hair, we don't have to worry about covering shifts? and They don't charge any more, than these Scottsdale/PV ones Jean goes to?

The monitor in the kitchen is broke, God forbid your running water or putting away silverware, you cant hear them call you at all. I think it may just need a new 3.6v rechargeable battery.

Bill was walking to bathroom with his walker, I was making his bed, I looked up and found him just stopped in his tracks, and the seat of his pants, sitting out while he had his arms braced between the door jamb, I ran over the obstacle course (trash can, table and lamp) and put my arms around him, Thankfully I could use my leg to hook the antique, chair, and slide it over to him. But you all know the chair I'm talking about, its got embroidery on it, and if a fly sat on it, they would collapse it. So that was just a temporary solution. I was able to have bill lean on me with his legs straight out and drag him to his chair, like a fireman so to speak. My back is paying the price for that feat today.

More importantly Bill is okay, as the case has been, he just says he gets up and hes goes week in the legs. I know Melissa took all the Coreg out. So my next guess was something called Orthostatic Hypotension, where your b/p cant compensate for you quick movement. But Bill really doesn't get up quick, he scoots to the edge, debates about it, stands partially up then fully then stops again then he takes off.

I would mention it to Khalid, when I take Jean. I'm fearful of the day I cant get Bill up or its unsafe to move him, and the gate house will not come help you, especially if its at night, as there is only one of them, and Bill wants up immediately.

Jean has been pretty good, a little snappy and on edge, I will order the Dudley tower of pears she wants from Harry and Davide, and I bought stamps for her Carson and Ryan bday checks.

She's back on the pool deal, "i want all new lounge chairs, and lights, and flats, and a waterfall, and rugs and torches etc etc. " she has about 3000.00 of items from Frontgate checked off, Do i tell her Jean your moving to the new condo, and you have a person that takes care of the pool there, you can use that money for something else. Bill not keen at all on moving!, He has made several remarks to me, "well that wont happen for another year or two" It told the new bedroom can be set up the same with a TV lounge as it has so much room in what Joan now uses as an office.

House all cleaned up, Jean showered, Beds made, garbage's all emptied. Not much detergent left.

PS more netflix if you can Ruth, they love them, Jean is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of cspan, and CNN and all the debate boring repeats. Can you order tv series too? like Murder she wrote of Golden Girls?
