I arose really early this morning; I had to get out of bed and close windows so I wouldn't freeze to death but then I went back to bed until about six. I wore a jacket to the hospital and it wasn't enough to keep me warm. When I got to the hospital Jeri asked me if I had brought her a coat and then my brain kicked into gear and I realized that I had made a mistake.:) When I got there Jeri was feeling pretty good and shortly after eight, that means I don't know exactly what time it was, Jeri was headed for PT (one more reminder that that means Physical Therapy) and she had a really good session and had maybe one episode of being 'light headed' for a short time. In my opinion was that she had a good session of PT. Shortly after ten we returned to her room and she prepared to go for her dialysis session; the driver picked her up about eleven and the way she went and I followed in the pickup. We arrived shortly after eleven and they had her hooked up to the machine and it was pumping away by eleven thirty. A short time after this Lee showed up and I went to Shopko and returned the socks I bought the other day but they didn't have the kind I wanted so I still need to buy a couple of pairs. When I returned to the dialysis place I didn't have much time to wait until her three hours were up. At two-thirty the three hours were complete but the van was not there to carry her back to the hospital so 'they' called for the van and it arrives shortly thereafter and she was ensconced back in her room and to her, and mine, great pleasure she didn't have very much of the nasty 'after effects' of the session, which was a really great thing.
I think she is getting stronger every day and she enjoys eating and visiting without the fatigue that she has been having, which is a very wonderful thing. Some one at the facility told us that Jeri's numbers are coming into the area where they should be, which is another good sign. Tomorrow afternoon she is going to see Dr. Titton and we will know more then than we do now, at least that is what I am prayer for. Speaking of praying it seems that is working really well so keep it up and maybe in the near future she will be back home and the road ahead will be smooth and not as rocky as it has the last few weeks.

I awoke this morning about 5:45; I hate it when that happens, however, it does give you a great start on the day. I cleaned myself up, got dressed and was on my way to the center of Bountiful. I stopped at Smiths and filled the gas tank; I can't see why anyone would buy gas any place else, I saved 15 cents a gallon. I then went to the hospital and Jeri was sleeping like a new born baby, and speaking of new born babies Jesse and Judd have a new baby, and his name is Riley Judd Warner; he was named after the famous William Riley Judd.
I hung around until mid-day and then I moseyed down to Albertson's and got a flu shot so I will not get the flu this Fall or Winter.
When I got back to the hospital I learned that Jeri would be moved to a private room, which gladdened my heart; I knew that Jeri would be better without the lady she was sharing a room with, and I believe that her roommate was glad to be alone for some time. In fact she made the comment that she would like to stay an extra week or so; we will see how that works. Jeri finally got moved in the afternoon and it was a good thing Lee was there to put things where Jeri likes them. Christian came to see his Grandma, and I understand that Patrice went to see her and took some pictures with her so Jeri could see the new Great Grandchild; he is just as cute as his cousins.
Jeri had a really good day today; her PT went well, she is getting her strenght back and can tollerat more action than she has been able to do in several weeks; at least that is my perception. She was so happy that she was alone inthat big room that she a smile on her face that just wouldn't go away; it was a great afternoon for me as well. Oh, by the way, Temaire had a box of choclates delivered to her Grams this afternoon and the one I ate was really good.
I hope that she continues getting better every day, but then tomorrow is a Dialysis day so it will be interesting to see how things go tomorrow.
All of the prayers are working so keep them going. And by the way it was a great day for me I got to eat at the cafeteria and had a great meal for $3.00, lets see if you can do that.:)

I arose about seven and puttered around for a short time and then headed for the hospital, when I got there Jeri was doing quit well, except for the noisy women in the bed next to her. I once again tried to get the hospital people to get moving and move her to a private room; they keep saying when the get a empty one she will move to the room. I think proof of the pudding is in he eating so we shall see if gets to taste the pudding, however, there is one more thing I can do to try to get them to get busy, is go to a meeting that the Social Workers have every morning to discuss these kind of things. Now that has been said I shall give a report of the day. At eleven this morning they picked up Jeri and transported her to the Dialysis place for her treatment, and she worn away three hours, which does sap her strength but if things are as they usually are she will have a good day tomorrow. while she was doing this I had the pickup serviced, and then I went to Shopco and bought some gel inserts to put in my new $75.00 shoes that Jeri insisted that I buy a month ago; they had little nobs on the innersole and they hurt my feet so I got the jell to see if I could ware them to see if they would help get rid of the callous on my left foot that has been there since we were in Florida, with Scott, for the winter of 2007. I will give a report on the success of the shoes later but they feel pretty good tonight. With this tome I shall say 'good night Gracie'; think of George Burns.

I arose rather late and moused along and was at the hospital shortly after eight. Jeri still has her noisy room mate; hopefully Jeri will be in a private room tomorrow. She had the best day today than she has had in at least two weeks and maybe more. Yesterday she got a new PT and he used a new technique; he put a strap around her waist so he could slowly lower her to the floor if she fainted and he had her walk with the walker, which gave her more confidence and he had me follow her with the wheelchair so that if she got faint or tired and needed to rest I would put the chair up against her legs and she would sit down for a few minutes and then she would be ready to do some more walking. She walked up the hall and down the hall, which must have been almost two hundred feet; I know that doesn't sound like much but it is the most she has walked in many days. And the OP comes in every day and has her do exercises that will help her use her body to a better advantage. I am of course no doctor but that is my take on things and I'm not really sure what has happened but I will take good things no matter what it is! And she is eating better, which helps her get her strength back and we have told everyone except family that she isn't receiving visitors. Now the bad news, no I don't mean really bad but tomorrow, at noon, she is scheduled to have 3 hours of Dialysis, which will 'wipe her out' for the rest of the day but then Tuesday will be a great day once again. It was really warm here today and 'they' say it is going to be warm tomorrow but a storm is headed our way and it might bring some snow to our area. I believe that is all of the news that is news. Have a great day and please remember to keep my sweetheart in your prayers.

I sleep in this morning; I didn't wake up until almost 8:00 am and then I had to clean up and get ready for the day. When I arrived at the hospital Jeri told me that the family of her new room mate was there and some of them said they were really sick and had a fever and wondered if they could even make. So I went to the Charge Nurse and insisted that she should have a private room because of her cancer and then brought it to their attention that when she gets her chemo everyone had to 'mask up' and that put them into gear and said they would get a private room as soon as they could, which means maybe Monday. Her room mate was calling the aids all night and Jeri didn't get much sleep.
Even with this she had a fairly good day; Mike and Patrice visited mid-morning and they said she was going to have a good day, because Patrice's parents always had a good day after Dialysis. Jayci came and gave Jeri a pedicure and even asked if I wanted one but I declined. At noon-thirty I went to the cafeteria and had the meal they fix and there is very little else to eat except what they have every week on that day. It was fairly good, but not as good as the fare at IMC (Intermountain Medical Center) and is more expensive. Lee, Logan, Abby and Jaxan came to see Jeri, but after the kids said hello they went with Cliff while Lee stayed for a while.
Jeri had a new therapist, which knew how to help her do her exercise with out getting really 'light headed', however as she was finishing her walk she got faint so they took her blood pressure and it was too low; which made Jeri's point that she can only do so much, however, she did make the tour of the hall, which is something new. It appears to me that she is getting stronger but maybe not as fast as 'they' want it to be but I say I am content with baby steps and so is she. The fact that BYU won the football game didn't hurt her spirits any.

I went to the hospital shortly after eight and visited with Jeri until about eleven; that is when they came to pick up Jeri and take her for her Friday Dialysis. They took her in a transporting van and she was ready to start her treatment by noon, which is the time she planned on. While that was going on I went home and fetched some things that she wanted and needed, and of course I had to make a couple of trips and then it wasn't a 100% correct, so I will have to get some things together tomorrow morning. After the Dialysis, she was wiped out. When we got back to the hospital Jeri's new roommate was being placed in the other bed, which wasn't what Jeri wanted to see because she thought the new person might want the drape between them to be drawn shut, which would have blocked Jeri's view out of the window but when I asked the lady if she cared if the drape was pulled she said no, so I pushed the drape back so Jeri could get the daylight and the view from the window, which made her more content. I think this lady is about 70 years old and in our conversation she said I reminder her of her husband; I asked her if he was alive and she said no and started to shed some tears; it is tough to be really sick and be without your mate.

To answer Scott's question; I don't know where her red slippers are. She is settled in at SDCH (South Davis Community Hospital) and had her first physical therapy this morning but she was only up to a short session and then she slept for and hour or so; I hope her strength comes back soon. Tomorrow she gets a dialysis session around noon and of course she will be fatigued for a while after that. Her doctor said he was going to lower the dose of one of her heart meds; he said that med had propensity to cause blood pressure to lower, which can cause fatigue. I am not sure Jeri likes that idea but the doc says she doesn't have to worry about her heart because the pacer will keep her heart on a steady beat and she will feel better because of the lowering the dosage. I hope she can get her strength back really soon!

Jeri had a typical morning today; she had to wait for the Thalidomide to go away and then they decided to do Dialysis which took another two hours but after that she felt better. About five the people for South Davis Community Hospital arrived and put her on a new bed and whisked her away to Bountiful; she is going there so she can get the physical therapy that she needs to come home. I don't know how long she will be there but I think it will be a couple of weeks; now remember what couple means in my dictionary. While she is there 'they' will transport her to her doctor's appointments and to have her Dialysis two times a week, or what ever is required. I am glad that she is there so she can get the therapy she needs but not so glad because I liked the doctors and nurses, where is was, so much; but then they might be just as good as those she just left. The weather is cool and it feels like Fall but then it is Fall. I think it would be really good for all of us to pray for a quick recovery for my sweetheart.

This morning was an usual morning for Jeri but not for me. I went to Dr. Rassmussen and he fried several places on my face and the back of my neck, with liquid Nitrogen, and cut out a piece of my left jaw skin to send it for an biopsy; he told me he wants to see me every three months, which is a big difference from the twice-a-year that I used to do. I hope it is negative so I don't have to have it cut out. When I got back to the hospital Jeri was through with her Dialysis session and it took her a couple of hours to shake off the side-effects of the treatment and then she had a fairly good afternoon. Dr. Litton told us that her kidneys are getting better and he thinks it not the Dialysis but that the chemo is starting to have some effect on the Myeloma, which would be a very good thing.
Neil, the case worker, told us that he thought everything would be in place to move Jeri to the South Davis Rehab Center in a couple of days, which would be a big step forward for Jeri; and a great big deal for me to have my sweetheart closer to home. Dr. Stevens came in to see Jeri this afternoon; what a great person he is. I think he is as fine a human being as any one I know! It is my prayer tonight that she has a great night and has a better day every day in the future.

This post is for Saturday to Monday. September 19 to 21
Jeri was rather groggy on Saturday morning but awakened around noon, which is the time that she is out from under the effect of Thalidomide and had a rather good day. Sunday her day was about like Saturday. Today we were told that she will not be going to Promise because of the cancer treatment; the insurance won't pay for that and then Promise isn't what we want so the Social Worker got busy and is trying to get Jeri into South Davis, which is much better in my mind because it is much closer, however, they will have to transport her to the doctor's office for the chemo and to a facility for Dialysis treatment. Jeri says she is ok with this arraignment, however, it is not a done deal yet. Jeri was doing rather well after she was out of her fog of Thalidomide, in fact she was feeling good enough that she wanted to get outa bed and get in the shower so that is what happened, which drained her energy for the rest of the day. Late after that a PT (physical therapist) got her out of bed and tried to get her out in the hall but she didn't have enough energy to get past the bed. I think they will slow down on the walking business. I am hopeful that she will do better tonight and tomorrow.

The day started as a regular day; Jeri was under the influence of the Thalidomide until about noon and then there was a great change in Jeri. She looked, acted, and glowed like she did several weeks ago. It was great to see her in this condition. She was moved out of the ICU mid-afternoon back onto the ninth floor; she has been on the ninth floor a lot the last few weeks. The doctors were talking about releasing her Sunday but that can't happen until we have a rehab place we can take her; we have one in mind but nothing confirmed or denied until the first of next week. I am hopeful that this will come to fruition.
It was wonderful to see my Sweetheart smile and even chuckled some times and being very engrossed in the conversation.

I arose very early this morning (6 am) and was washed clean and ready to leave about seven but you can't get into the ICU until eight so I waited until seven-thirty and then wended my way to the hospital and kissed my sweetheart hello. She said she had a pretty good night and her morning was good. Shortly after noon they started the dialysis and during this procedure they took too much fluid out of her body and her blood pressure dropped and she become faint (I talked to Mike about it and he said that happens often during dialysis) so they stopped removing the fluid and just filtered the blood and she perked right up again. It appeared to me that the rest of the day was rather pleasant for her. 'They' said they were going to move her out of the ICU and they thought it would be back to the ninth floor but that never happened; I have become cynical of anything they say they are going to do and when it will be done. I am hopeful they will get it done tomorrow. I am really impressed by the Regional Medical Center and I am glad they are available to us, and the doctors that practice there are so helpful and considerate; it almost makes it worth it to be there.:) I talked to Lloyd last night, he called to tell me that he had his back operated on and then asked me how I and Jeri were doing; I said I was doing very will but Jeri was in the hospital and gave him most of the details. I talked to him again today and he told me he had or was going to call of the cousins and inform them of the problems of Jeri; it would be my wish that he would wait awhile but that is not happening. Oh well, that's how it goes.

I kinda slept in this morning; I didn't get outa bed until after seven, after all I can't get in the hospital until eight so what's the hurry? I arrived at the hospital at eight and got right in the room and nothing was going on and I do mean nothing. About nine someone came in and said that they would be taking Jeri down for the pace maker thing about eleven, and I said to my self, ya right! About noon they said it would be around three and at one-thirty I said to myself and to others, do you think if I am early to the doctor's office I will get back here early and then I said to myself, self it won't hurt to try so off I go and am at the Doctor's office just at two o'clock and in about five seconds I was called to go back to the exam room. Dr. Hanson came in and looked at my ear and said it was doing really good but continue with the Vaseline for another week. and I was outa his office pronto and was back at the hospital about three and Jeri was getting her pace maker installed. So I decided that this would be a good time to have lunch so I and Kevin went to the cafeteria and had lunch and I once again had the some thing. My idea is; if it is good today it will be good tomorrow. When we got back from eating Jeri was in the recovering room so we had to wait again. I think it was about four when I and Kevin and Becky was allowed to go visited with Jeri. She thought she was in heaven; she could drink water and eat real food, which is the first time since last night at midnight. When we walked into her room they were hooking her up to the dialysis machine and of course Kevin was getting filled in on how the machine worked. After about an hour they were pulling blood from her body running it through the machine and then pumping it back in the body and that process will for two and a half hours. Jeri really looked good and the pacer was doing it's job just like it is supposed to. Just before six Lee and I left, which left Jeri and the pros to keep things going. It is my prayer that this will be the last time she will have to have some surgery! And I am hopeful that after the kidneys get cleaned out; the Myeloma will start responding to the chemo and then her body will begin to heal. As I finish this tome it is 7:25 pm.

There were a few things that were done today that was very good. Shortly after noon Jeri was wheeled away to get the ports implanted into her veins so a kidney dialysis could be done. After some time she was back in the room and soon they had the dialysis machine hooked up to her and about two hours later the procedure was completed and tomorrow they are going to do a two-and-a-half hour one and then the next day they are going to do a three hour procedure. I think Jeri felt better after the procedure. She has felt much better today than yesterday and that could be because she didn't have and problems with her heart. Tomorrow they are going to implant a permanent pace maker, which she will have for the rest of her life. My mom had one for a very long time; I estimated that she had hers about 20 years but they had to put a new one in a few years before she died. After the dialysis was complete the cancer people came in and gave her a dose of chemo. When I left about six; they get rid of all visitors at six and I can't get back in until tomorrow morning after eight o'clock AM. I was surprised of all of the things that were accomplished today after witnessing the lack of accomplishment of yesterday and the day before that. I hope tomorrow is as good a day, in every respect, as it was today. I have my final visit with my ear doctor tomorrow at two-thirty and I am sure that everything is better than OK.

Today was a very interesting day to say the least. I was at the hospital by eight and they hadn't started any of the things they were going to do to day, such as place some tubes so they could do dialysis of the kidneys and they took hours doing things I thought was not what needed to be done but I wrote that off as that was something I didn't know much about and it took them many hours to do very little in my estimation. Shortly after 3:00 I thought they were ready to start doing some thing because they had giving Jeri three units of plasma. I was very wrong; shortly after the plasma thing was over Jeri started having heart problems and her pulse would go up to 160 plus and then would drop down to 30-or-so and then it would stop beating at all for up to 9 seconds, and then 3, and then something else. Well, that got there attention and they decided that something needed to be done and quick so the called in the Med Crew, which was made up of many people and they decided that Jeri was in heart failure and needed help really fast. Jeri said "I can feel myself going, I can feel myself going, and after the other night I felt she knew what was happening and I started worrying that she might not survive this episode, so I offered a silent prayer and asked for some help for Jeri, and then the crew decided to install a temporary pace maker, which they did and it gave Jeri enough blood moving in her body to revive it until they installed a temporary pacer in her chest, which really did the job of getting her heart to work the way the Lord designed it to do. I am very optimistic that she will get over this episode without any damage.

Today started very early this morning, in fact it was about two o'clock in the night when I heard Jeri get out of bed and make the trip down the hall. When she got back in bed I could tell she was having a hard time breathing and at two she called my name and said I needed to call 911, which I did. Shortly thereafter the ambulance was here and I had awakened Mike and Patrice and told them what was happening. The paramedics' put her in the ambulance and she was on her way to Murry to the Regional Medical Center, other wise know as IHC. They admitted her to the ER and run some texts and ascertained that some of her kidney functions have gone south along with some functions of her lungs, and of course it is all because of the Myeloma. They decided to admit her to the hospital and do some dialysis on her kidneys, which is a very good thing to do. About seven this morning I came home and got Jeri's meds so 'they' will know what she takes and how much and I grabbed a snack and they way I went back to Murry. It has been determined that tomorrow the kidney thing will be done and the new chemo stuff will be done in the hospital and not at the cancer place, which I think is a very good thing, and by the way they have to put in a port, my word not theirs, to do the kidney thing and they are going to put something in one of her veins for the chemo thing; I like it when they do two things at the same time, however, Jeri is somewhat concerned because she has to 'go off' the blood-thinners so she won't bleed too much. I hope 'the team' finds the silver bullet that will get rid of most of this trouble so Jeri can get back to her usual life. It is very distressing to her and of course to all of us who love her. It is very difficult to watch your sweetheart suffer and not be able to do anything except I love you! I shall post again tomorrow.

This morning I arose early so I could be at Grace Olsen's funeral on time. I arrived shortly before ten and went into the viewing area and talked to the family, which was Brent, Rick and Nancy; I am not sure I would have recognized Brent and Rick if I had passed them on the street, it has been a long time since I have seen them. Rick gave a forty minute story of his mom's life. I think he has a very poor memory, or it is so good that he remembers things that I know didn't happen, and I was in a position to know what he was talking about and he couldn't have been more wrong if he had tried, but then maybe there were some things that he was told when he was really young and missed understood. Now, here is a note to my family; don't allow errors become facts in your memory and if you think you know some things that you thought were not fair to either of your parents or siblings; check with with your siblings and see if their memory is the same as yours. A lot of the members of the Rose Park 8th Ward asked why Jeri wasn't there so Lee and I told them what was going on in Jeri's life; she says that she has had a fairly good day today. The temps are in the high 80s or the low 90s today.

Today is a different day than yesterday and if you don't believe it just read on. Jeri says she is doing really well and it is the best day this week; I think there are a few reasons, such as the new chemo, the diuretic pills and of course my nursing skills. This morning I watered the strip of lawn and then I returned the wheelchair that Patrice rented for Jeri; it was a very thoughtful thing to do and also very helpful but the month was finished. I then went to Alpine Medical and got a new rental for Jeri and this time the insurance is going to pay for it, which is a really good thing, and the rental is for 6 months, and I bought a cushion that cost $100.00 and I only had to pay $10.00; thank you Medadvantage. So far, the rest of the day is rather mundane, I have read most of the Deseret News (I think it is great to have a very large newspaper named after my Home Town.):) Jeri just showed me a couple, now remember the definition of couple, of pictures of Josh and they sure look a lot like Scott, I am sure Scott would say that was a good thing for Josh. The weather is just about perfect. I really like this time of year; it reminds me of my youth and we would be knee high in the alfalfa getting ready to harvest the golden seeds that would flow down the spout from the thresher into those gunnysacks on the end of the spout, we called that gold money. All of my family aught to know what and how all of this was done; if not just let me know and I will tell you how to get that info. There is a big grin on my face because my sweetheart is having such a good day, I hope they will continue.

It has been several days since I brought this blog up to date so here goes. Jeri has had a fairly good week, I didn't say she had a really good week, so here it is in a nut shell. Last night was not a good night for her, she got up and about midnight and spent several hours in the front room and when she came back to bed I could tell that some thing was wrong and I was glad she had an appointment at Dr. Litton's office. We arrived there about two PM and was rather quickly in an exam room. The out come of the conversation was that Jeri needed some more help with the chemo so he gave her a new regime to go along with the other; this regime is an intravenous thing, and I can't remember the name right now but I shall get that later. It takes about 30 minutes every Monday and Friday for two weeks then skips a week and then is back on it for the next two weeks and then skips a week; I think you have the picture by now. He said this would not make her sick. She needs this chemo to get the Myeloma under control so her kidneys will function better. I think she is glad to get this thing going, and of course she is still doing the pill chemo stuff as well. I am hopeful that in a short time we will see some improvement in her energy and that she will be able to get some more red blood cells in her system, and they gave her another shot to help improve that also. I shall give more information tomorrow; I promise but that is all for tonight. After all it is eleven o'clock and I need my sleep for now.

Saturday: Today was a rather lazy day for me but that is also rather normal for me. Karen and Chris came to see us today, they are going to clean our pickup inside and out, which is rather kind of them but then they haven't seen the inside yet.:) Jeri had a rather good day today, which is just the way I like it. This house was rather busy but I don't know what everyone, or anyone, was doing. The temps have cooled at least 10 degrees today and I hope it stays that way for at least a month and then it can cool of very gradually into winter.:(
Sunday: Jeri had another good day so I went to Sacrament Meeting and Sunday School; the testimonies were better today than usual; the one guy that is always moved by the Spirit wasn't there so another got up and took his place.:) When I came home Jeri was doing rather well considering how sick she was last week. I pray that this is a start of something really good.
Monday: I did very little today except thank Karen and Chris for their help with the pickup, I am sure that Karen did all of the work on the truck and it looks great. I am sure she didn't know what she was going to find in the backseat; it was a mess but it looks really great today. There was not much action going on in this house today; I guess they are celebrating Labor Day, which is a misnomer, because nobody is laboring today. Well that's all for this time.

Yesterday, Thursday, was a busy day but then, any day that involves a Dr. Appointment, is a busy day. They did a blood draw and then had the lab run all of the tests they wanted. When that was done Bruce, Dr. Litton's PA, said things looked pretty good but he wanted Jeri to see Dr. Barklow, a kidney guy, tomorrow. So I called his office and was told that Dr. Barklow wasn't' taking any new patients so I called Bruce and he called Dr. Barklow and viola we had an appointment tomorrow at 12:45. It is mind boggling what a difference it makes who does the calling. Jeri was not up to the usual place she likes to be but she has been worse. That is me talking and not her. (Most people know this is dangerous territory to be on.:)
Today Lee showed up at our place shortly after eleven and shortly we were on our way to Dr. Litton's office for some papers to take to Dr. Barklow. We arrived at Dr. B's office about 12:20 and waited until 12:45, which is the time they open after lunch, and then we were invited into the innards of the office. Dr. Barklow and a resident came in and talked to us and then Dr. Barklow left and left the resident to do her thing, which was fine for us. When she was through she left and conferred with the doctor and then they came back. The doctor was concerned about Jeri's blood pressure and I tried to tell him there was a lot of things going on as we entered the exam room that could cause the the pressure to go higher; such as getting out of the wheelchair and pulling her self up on the scales but he was concerned about the BP. He talked to Jeri what the results of kidney failure, no, she doesn't have kidney failure, and he doesn't want her to have this trouble so he gave Jeri some instructions and some blood pressure pills to make sure that pressure comes down into the normal range, so we came home and then I went back and bought the meds. When I got home we checked her BP and it was normal but we are not really sure how accurate it may be, however, we checked Chris's pressure and it was just like it was Thursday when he had his physical therapy; we are going to have ours checked Monday.
The weather is on the warm side for me but that will change in the few weeks and we will be complaining about the cold.:)

Monday: Jeri had a blood draw for her INR test; it was 1.6 so she will be back on a slow climb into the 2-to-3 range. We also went shopping at Smiths for some leggings to see if Jeri can stay warm and then we bought some ice so she could always have a cold drink, and we did buy some some bottles of fruit juice for her to drink.
Tuesday: we went to Kirkham's; at Jeri's insistence so I could buy a pair of Chaco shoes that helped Lee with her foot problem. We had a discussion and I didn't want to buy a pair unless I was sure they would help my left foot, which has had a callus for over two years but she was adamant that I was going to get a pair; so 70 plus dollars later I walked out of the store with a pair of shoes. I hope they work and I am sure time will tell us for sure. We then went to Lee's and told her that 'they' had a sale, 25% off, on these shoes. I think she will get some. While we were there the Philbricks' came over to see how Jeri is doing; they are very interesting people to talk to.
Wednesday: I had an appointment to get the stitches out of my ear so I motored up to 20th South and 9th East and had the job done. There was a woman there that had a Basil Cell taken form her nose; she said it was down to the bone and they had to do some skin grafting to cover the hole they made in her nose; just when you think you are the only one with some problem some one comes along and makes your problems look small. The last few days the temperature's have been in the mid 90s, I'll be glad when when it cools off several degrees. Tomorrow Jeri has an appointment with her oncologist. I hope he can give her some energy; it seems to me that she could recover and get better quicker if she had some energy. But then what do I know about these things?
