Good Evening!
Glad you shared more details about your post-op visit, etc., Bernie. I never heard of a thigh tourniquet, but I tend to doubt that you are the one of the few who had such a bad reaction.
My only experience with something related was when I was being prepared for a colonoscopy and the nurse used a very tight strap when he put in an IV. I was in the hall and no one checked on me or even walked by for what seemed like a long time (probably 30-40 minutes).
For one thing, I was very cold. But also my arm was very painful since he had left that tight strap on it. Finally, a nurse sort of breezed by, and I asked if they could loosen the strap since my arm was really hurting -- turns out that he just forgot to take it off. Yikes!
Sorry your Keurig broke, Fressa. Good thing you had a coffee maker in reserve and found a new one. I had a similar experience except I ended up ordering a new Keurig and had to wait for it to be delivered. After that, I decided I will always keep another coffee maker and some regular coffee on hand just in case. I know lots of people go out for coffee in the morning, but not me.
Sorry about your weather. Ours is not good either. We had a high of 104 degrees and are under an "excessive heat warning" on Friday and Saturday. The humidity makes it feel worse.
Getting those bills is always upsetting. Just received a new monthly "budget" amount from the electric company. Needless to say, the hotter it gets the more AC has to run. At least the AC is working. I honestly don't think I could live here without it.
I read on FB that Jean is getting ready for her move home on Monday. She is concerned about mobility, and she and her doctor have asked Medicare to approve a motorized chair. Sounds like a good idea to me.
The neighborhood ladies went out to lunch today, and then I went to the grocery stores and Walmart. One of the stores was having the once a month "senior day" (10% discount), and it was mobbed. The other store wasn't bad, but they were doing some sort of construction at the main entrance to the Walmart parking lot, and it was very difficult to find a place to park. The store was crowded and there were only a few check-out clerks. So, I went to the self-check-out which is always difficult.
The hospice supplies came in, so I picked up and delivered them. Access to one of the assisted living homes was down the same street as Walmart, and they had closed down part of the road requiring me to go through the Walmart lot again. Not fun.
Waves to Fressa, Bernie, Glenda, Barbara, Susan, and all of our posters and readers. Hope everyone sleeps/slept well.
Hugs,
Linda
