weekend

Weekend went well, I finally got a hold of Dr. Patel, who is Farooquis associate, after Melissa called tirelessly, and I told him that she also called the service frequently and they kept telling her that the docs are unable to be reached! That is unacceptable, tia's can be caused by a systemic infection, therefore it should have been a priority for them to call that Levaquin in, Melissa and I were furious with them. Anyone who has had a uTi knows how uncomfortable it can be.

Bill sounds a little wet, mostly in his upper airway, it clears when he coughs, I left a message with Khalid, if nothing back then, when Jean goes Monday for F/U with Farooqui, have him listen and do a Chest xray on him. He doesn't have any edema in his legs. I have been having him put the antifungal cream on his sacral area, he says it feels better. I tried to gently remind him about showering, as Bill is often incontinent and should shower, as fungal skin infections and urine, are good friends. Jean has been picking at her band aids on her areas taken off, I put aquaphore on them, she cant shower for 48 hours, but she should be good by Sunday evening, Monday morning.

Jean, she has spent I would say a good 18 hours ripping papers out of any magazine she can, she has about 4 folders around, of "ideas for her new place". Id say its about 200,000 dollars worth of renovation she wants to do lol, she says the place she looked at is nice in its design, but it was decorated about 30 years ago, and its just "God awful" so she is very protective of the papers, please just file them and don't throw them, I made the mistake of tossing some I thought she tore out in error ( hot tub designs, cedar sauna room, portable cocktail bar) well I was wrong, I retrieved them from the garbage and gave him to her, she wanted them to re do her patio if they get the 'new" house. So be forewarned, she also rips out pages she doesn't like in the magazine, I went to help Bill put lotion on, I came back the kitchen floor around her periphery was covered in 50 pages of ripped out magazines, I asked her are these for keeping, and she said no, I'm ripping out what I don't like.. go figure.

I have an idea for Bill, every time I am here, I tell Bill here's whats or dinner sound good? and hes says sure. But inevitably without fail, the second I bring it, while Jean is giving me accolades about how good it is, Bill before he even trys it says, "you can just take this away, I want cereal', and a whole plate goes to waste, So I asked him, do you want cereal every night, and he said " yup until I say I don't want it." So maybe just offer him other things too, but I would make smaller one person portions, and just have cereal ready.

Cookie called, to check on Jean, I called her back, left a message, Jean wants to call Amanda today, as I reminded her yesterday to call her, she said today would be fine.

House picked up, cleaned floor, dishes done,, washed all lines, washed Jeans linens, she had an accident and some blood from her scab on her face on the pillow.

Thanks have a great week!
