Hope your headache is gone or going by now, Barbara. Like Claudia, I hope you are feeling okay by the time of the dance weekend. Did I mention that one of the caregivers told me that "Larry" at DH's place was a choreographer from Hollywood? Not sure if that is true or not. He was pretty wild today.
I would rather not have a bunch of puppy kisses myself, but you know how puppies are.
Glad R's shots are helping, Claudia. But, it is too bad about the side effects. Also sorry the form is still not completed. I found out that people on hospice only need to have their TB test every five years rather than every year if there was no problem the last time. Happy about that since I was a bit concerned how he would handle an x-ray. It was hard enough last year. Hope R is okay at camp.
Fortunately, DH was okay when I visited this afternoon. But, he is very nervous about getting up and down from the chair. Otherwise, he was in good spirits. The caregiver told me he ate lunch well, and another caregiver told me that he is happily eating the Halloween candy I brought him. Guess I'll buy another bag of candy.
He talked to both kids today -- I had sent an e-mail to them about his fall, etc., and his son asked me to call him when I visited. He is difficult to get on the phone compared to his DD, and there is the time difference. Currently two hours, but it had been three.
Army DGS had several calls or texts on election day, and he told DD not to be surprised if he were deployed in 6 - 9 weeks. I am wondering if things will change due to the change in administration, but who knows. There are so many things up in the air at this point.
DGD found a coat at Macy's, so I'll be sending the money so DGS can buy it with his discount. It sounds nice -- wool and cashmere, etc. Brand name, but I can't remember the brand.
I made it to the gym this morning, and then to class before visiting DH. A large group of ladies from the adult day services were visiting his facility since there are at least three of their former attendees there. They insisted on a hug, and DH kissed every one since he associates kissing with hugs. I think they were surprised, but.....
As I mentioned on the other thread, this extremely nice man in my Wednesday class asked about DH yesterday. He said he thought I did a wonderful job caring for DH, and gave me a hug. How sweet is that? He actually had tears in his eyes.
I'm going on a day trip to a Greek monastery tomorrow (senior lunch program trip). And we will be going to a Greek restaurant after the tour. I am not sure where it is, but i know the restaurant is in Florence. Since I won't be back until late, I am not planning to visit DH. I told the caregiver and DH, so I hope he won't be upset.
Hope both of you sleep well.
Hugs,
Linda
