Sunday Ramble 3-25-18

I had thought my gf would be home sometime this week. Not sure all the reasons why it hasn't happened but Saturday is reason enough. She went to her dialysis treatment (The skilled nursing facility has a bus that takes her there). They couldn't do the treatment. It seems there may be some clots in the fistula that's in her arm. It's there because that's where they hook her up to the dialysis machine. It's better than not having it because of the way a person is hooked up without the fistula. Long story short, it's odd that there would be clots since it was cleaned out at the hospital a couple of months ago. So I'm wondering if the fistulas wear out. So the center said they would do something about it Monday which is tomorrow. Needless to say we're both upset about it. I can only guess that the hospital will have to take care of it. And that's stressful for her and me too. I won't know until tomorrow.
A couple days ago it was my birthday. I mention it because like every birthday that comes for me I like to reflect on how things have gone since the last one. I guess that's because I'm getting closer to the retirement age. The last couple of years have been really rough. A lot has happened and at sometime every day it's on my mind. Still I keep a positive attitude for life throws everything at you and you must take each moment as it is. Music always seems to help us make it through the day...till we meet again...

 

Sunday Ramble

I had a conference with the nurse and social worker and physical therapy at the skilled nursing facility my gf is at. It was quite positive and hopefully she will be coming home very soon. However she will need some help at home, so hopefully we can get that all arranged when she comes home. It will be good.
So another weekend blows by so fast....till we meet again....

 

Sunday Ramble 3-11-18

An update: My gf is in another skilled nursing facility. They are working with more than the last two to get her back to strength. It seems all these places are slow to respond to their patients help light. Healthcare in this country is not all it's cracked up to be. Sad but true.
On my way Saturday to have our dog groomed I saw it. The sight you don't want to see. I was on the highway going about 60mph. As I was passing the car that was in the right lane I happened to look over. They were going just a little slower than I was. Well the driver was, yes that dreaded sight, looking at their cell phone. Why do people do that? What happened to common sense?? Anyhoo I honked my horn and passed them. As I looked in my rear view mirror the driver had stopped looking at their phone. At least for that moment....scary it is.......

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
