Monday, May 16

Cowboy slept until 8:30 this morning.  He ate all his breakfast.  The nurse came and checked him out, talked about where we are and said we would have care for 60 more days with medicare and then it would stop unless something significant changes.  I told her about the VA starting service.  This just means that Gena will continiue to come on Mondays and Fridays for his personal care.

Gene didn't get here until 1:15.  I really prefer it always in the AM but not sure what all affects that.  Cowboy is getting his bath now and based on what the nurse recommended we are going to try Desitin.  I remember that from when my girls were babies !  The silver oitment that was suggested is nowhere to be found.  The spray I got on Friday is having minimal effect.  The nurse will come back on Thursday to check on him and bring some more cream.

Cowboy can definitely now form sentences and communicate after a fashion but he will not try to hold a conversation or give you much more than a nod or yes or no.  Every now and then we talk a little bit.

I am on a tear around here.  Every time I open a cabinet or drawer I create another pile to go through.  I must have been out of my mind to start in on this but it will feel really good to get organized a bit.  Sometime this week the stuff in the attic will come down I hope.

All in all we are rockin along.
