One of these days I'll come up with some better titles instead of a string of a million Rambles lol. Well things seem to be getting back to normal. I'm hoping the two times a week of dialysis for my gf will make her feel better than just the one day a week. She did real good yesterday and I think that's a good sign that twice a week is going to help her out. So last night about an hour or so before it got dark, there were these ghosts and goblins and a bunch of superheroes walking around our neighborhood. It's one of those fun things you always remember from when you were a kid. And today Halloween is much bigger than when I was a kid. What I remember most is going at night. Now there are more rules. Just because of the messed up world we live in today. It's really gone wrong and is getting worse as time moves on. But enough of that stuff. Trick or Treat time is a fun time for kids. Costumes and make-up and such are so much better than in my youth. It was fun seeing the spookys walking through the neighborhood.....Have a great week.......
I guess this could be a kinda typical Sunday. Yesterday my gf had her weekly dialysis. This time she when she was done she came home. Later Saturday evening she was sick, her stomach gets upset almost every week after dialysis. I don't know if the other people there get this way or not. Anyhoo her doctor, her kidney doctor that is, came to talk to her while she was at the dialysis center. She is going to have to go two times a week now. She was on three times a week then the docs cut it to two then one. She's not thrilled about it of course. When you have dialysis you are tied to the machine for about four hours. I feel for her. Dialysis during the week means she will have to take the bus. It's a Scat bus, one of the ones that accommodate wheelchairs. I'll get her ready before I go to work. Hopefully two times a week will help her feel better. Only time will tell. Also today in my city is the Susan G. Komen race for a cure for cancer. Actually it's already going. This weekend has been like a beautiful warm Spring weather. Unreal really. Blues skies and two weekends in a row! Late tomorrow it's all going to change. True Fall weather will arrive and stick around for the week. Most likely this is it. Once the Fall like weather starts and sticks, the next step is...well you know, the brrrr days for most of a year..... A Blast from the Past..... Well I had a nice little video to put in here but the video option seems to be frozen, so here's the link... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUsHC7OYOtA
Late afternoon Wednesday my gf came home from the hospital. She's still tired from the hospital stay. She still has a way to go to be fully recovered. Things like this make you reflect. For you never know what can happen when a person goes into the hospital. I'm just happy she's home now. I want to thank my friends for their thoughts and prayers. It's very comforting. The worst night was Monday. You never really get all the answers from the doctors so you're mind is full of questions. Plus I dropped our dog off at the vets so they could run a test on Tuesday to confirm he does indeed have Cushing's syndrome. Today I got the answer and it was yes. It's a lot to take in sometimes when it comes to who you really care about.... Once again, thank you for you being you.....
Started out as a great weekend. A normal Saturday. Take my gf to dialysis and then get the work done around the house. Well I get a call from the dialysis center close to the time my gf is ready for me to pick her up and bring her home. They tell me she needs to go to the ER. The center is just a few minutes away. When I get there they tell me they had called for the paramedics. So they bring me in and she is shaking real bad and can hardly communicate. Just a few yes and no's. In a few minutes the paramedics are there. Long story short she was admitted and is doing much better today. I still don't know all the answers. So far they say some infection. Sometimes she gets a uti. And that scrambles her memory. Just like this time. Later I'll write about the hospital experience. In the meantime our dog is ill too. So this week I'll drop him off at our vet and he will do a test to verify the syndrome he has so we can get him on the right medication. So all in all it wasn't that good of a weekend. So it's going to be a very busy week. I worry for my gf. She's not in great shape anyway so any little thing could be major. She's being treated with antibiotics so hopefully she won't be in the hospital too much longer. Our dog was looking for her when I came home Saturday. Anyone who has a pet knows they are not just a pet but family too. Let me thank you beforehand for all your thoughts and positive vibes.... "Let's sail far away, to yet another day".....
The week that was. A coward shattered the lives of many. The authorities look for a motive. For reasons. They need not look. There are none. Not any that would answer to those whose lives he shattered. Nor to the rest of us. Just a coward who killed and wounded many. People who would have given him the shirts off their backs if he needed it. Don't ask why. Just wonder when the next coward will shatter more lives..... We lost another great musician this week too. Here's one of my favorites by Tom Petty, an early one and also the first song I heard by him....
This morning when I woke up I had a bunch of ideas for this ramble. Can't remember all of them now. Just a few I remember. Like writing about those personalized license plates. Saw some good ones this week. Problem is I didn't write them down when I got home. Then there are those you try to figure out what they mean. I watched a movie some time back that started with this couple driving and interpreting what the license plate abbreviations meant. It was a horror movie. I don't watch many of those. But I did this weekend. My gf and I watched War of the Worlds. The remake with Tom Cruise. Then the rest of Fatal Attraction when all the crazy stuff happened. We had a nice Saturday since my gf didn't have to go to dialysis. They had her go Saturday so her kidney doctor could see her. And he didn't even show up. Dialysis really takes it out of a person so it was good yesterday to have her home and not be out of it from the treatment. Needless to say I haven't got much done this weekend, it's all good. The strangest thing happened yesterday. There was a knock at the door and this woman around my age asked if our house was for sale. ??? I said, no it isn't. She stopped because our curtains were closed. Go figure. Well I don't have much else to say but the weather. We had the 90's this week. Broke a couple records too and tied one. This weekend is what the normal would be. It's around I 70 today I think. 65 yesterday. Saturday morning was brrrr in the 40's. Still no rain and that's the best when the weekends arrive. Pretty soon the cooler weather will take hold. The leaves are turning so hopefully I'll get to snap a few to post here.....till we meet again...
