Another Day of Go, Go, Go
Today's travels with Jane-a visit to the wound care doctor. She and I disagree on treatment protocols and she doesn't like the way they've dealt with her wounds in the past. However, I figured she could tell them what she wanted and they could go from there.
It's hard sometimes, hearing some of the questions and her answers and having to endure the disapproving looks from the health care professionals-as if I had something to do with the lack of concern for her own care.
Hey, I'm not going to sit there and monitor everything that goes into her mouth. She's a big girl. If she's going to be hospitalized for renal failure and not change her ways, you think that I can talk sense into her? That would be a big, fat NO.
The upshot is that she's got more dietary restrictions on top of some restrictions that are due to medications she's taking. I can cook within those guidelines, but that's only one meal of the day.
After that, we picked up Ed and enjoyed a lunch. It was a gorgeous day today, and it was nice to get out and goof around a little without the kids.
Then I did a mystery shop. I do those from time to time for a little pocket money. Let's just say that it's a good company, but the opportunities aren't enough to pay the bills, even in busy months. It was supposed to take an hour, instead, I was there for over two. Oh well.
Oh, and then I got an email-tonight's class was canceled. It changed plans just a little, but I ran over to campus with Jessica to check out some of the Homecoming events, then scrambled home.
For the first time this school year, I was at a cub scout meeting. Wow, I forgot how LOUD things can be with sixty-something boys laughing and having a good time. When they get to Boy scouts, it's not quite as noisy! It was a good thing my memory was refreshed, because now I know better than to bring classwork to study during cub scout meetings next semester.
Yes, it was a busy day, but there's still homework to do...
