Weekend went very well for Sylvia, everyone called several times to check on her and see if she needed anything. Jennifer and Wedad stopped by on Saturday or Sunday to meet her and see if there was anything they could do. Bill and Jean raved about her, they said she is very nice, friendly, has a good sense of humor and is a great cook.
When I arrived at 9:30am on Monday Sylvia had Jean dressed and ready to go, Jean and I went to meet TJ at 10am to look at a new house. The house was overly modern and Jean was not impressed, but she kept repeating that it was just stunning. After the home, we drove to the tailor on Indian School. The jacket that Jean was having altered was dropped off a month ago and the woman still hadn't gotten to it. I will try to pick it up on my way in on Monday.
John came over at 12:30pm, afterwards we went to Farooqui to get Bill checked out. Farooqui believes that Bill's episodes are due to deconditioning and he made Bill promise that he would start working out with John again. Dr. F wrote us prescriptions for the wheelchair, reclining chair and Ambien CR. We left his office and went to the CVS store on Scottsdale and Shea. We had to wait around for the home health aide to come and talk to us, and she didn't know anything. So we got ice cream and a nail file and laxatives. Came home got Jean changed, Skip and Joan stopped by to talk about the house Jean really loved. Joan put the ice cream away and saw the laxatives and tried to convince Jean how dangerous they are. Jean started to argue with Joan, she has been "constipated" for days. Long story short, I hid the laxatives in the Hershey cupboard on the very top shelf where Jean can not reach them or see them. After Skip and Joan left I gave Jean some stewed prunes and a big glass of juice with Benefiber.
Night was quiet. Bill woke up at 9:15am, Jean didn't wake up until about 10:45am. Both are well, Jay showed at 11am. Maria at 11:45am. I spoke with Maria about getting the house organized and my attempt at getting rid of stuff. She really went to town straighting things out and cleaning the house. She did the best job she has ever done and didn't leave until 5pm. While Maria was cleaning. Jean and I went through her shoe closet and purses. I asked her to be ruthless when deciding what to keep. For the most part she was. We have three garbage bags full of purses and shoes that Joan and Christine have now inherited. Congrats!
Jean was up all day walking from the bedroom to the kitchen, she spent the majority of her time tearing out pages in her magazines. Did showers in the afternoon and changed the sheets on both beds. Made a cream cheese pie and chicken soup with rice and veggies.
Wed. Small grocery order coming today- milk eggs, etc. I think Jean and I will do a big trip every other week and I will do a small trip or order for the basics on alternating weeks.
One thing- Bill has a Dr. Bahu appointment on April 25, which is a Friday. How do you guys want to work that out? Do you want me to come in for a couple of hours to take him? I think it would easier for whoever is here to just have me take him and they can stay with Jean. Let me know
Have a good weekend
