Cowboy's rash is better but not gone and he has scratched at it so he has several sores. These are worrisome because with diabetes you don't heal well. Will just have to try to keep him hydrated and lotioned down, etc. Have refilled the cream the doc prescribed 3 times already and I just keep slathering it on.
I am barely ahead of the alligators this week. Not sure why. Have spent a fair amount of time in the kitchen. I suspect Cowboy appreciates that. He is eating well but his weight is currently stable. His weight is about 25 pounds down from the weight he carried for a very long time but his sugar is good and his last round of blood work was good. Can't ask for more.
Tuesday the band came and we had a good practice. Yesterday Marsha was here and I went to the base and bought a bunch of groceries and hit the PX for a few things. I picked up a book of crossword puzzles. I am told it is good for your brain so think will give it a try.
Yesterday was my birthday. I told Cowboy that I bought the phone and that was my birthday present. He couldn't remember that it was my birthday. He showed absolutely no interest in any of it. I took him out to eat last night anyway. We went to Mimi's and had a nice meal.
Had to go to the neurologist this morning for a follow up for Cowboy. Dr.said to come back if he gets worse or has any problems, otherwise just keep appointments with our internist.
I have an appointment with the doc this afternoon. My ankle is swollen and very painful and I have no idea why. Probably nothing but want to be sure. (We are definitely not contributing to keeping medicare costs down right now.)
