Everybody keeps telling me to take care of myself. I made sure of it Wednesday. I went and had a pedicure and a massage. Then I went to the library and came back and had a leisurely shopping trip through the supermarket. Seems like I always tag it on to the end and am rushed but not this time.
Thursday we went back for a follow up appointment at the plastic surgeon. They are telling us it looks great but is a little red and feverish so are going to do another round of antibiotics. We go back in two weeks. I expect it to be completely covered over by then.
I took Cowboy to IHOP and he had the usual and ate it all. We went and picked up some prescriptions and spent the rest of the day doing little. Am still coughing and feel better but not great.
We had an appointment this morning at 8AM for blood work at the VA. Cowboy was up all night last night with the TV blaring. I got up about 3 times trying to get him back to bed but he would not budge. I did not sleep much until a couple of hours before had to be up and then overslept. Had to go to the clinic without a shower or makeup but we made it.
Cowboy was supposed to provide urine but he had misunderstood that he could drink, just not eat last night and he was dry. He stayed in there forever and others were waiting and finally gave up. Then when they went to draw blood couldn't get it. He was too dehydrated. Sometimes I feel like I just can't keep everything going as it should. Eventually, after a couple of glasses of water we got our business done.
We then went to visit a representative of the VA Commission about the letter I had received. He put together a letter requesting that I be appointed to handle Cowboy's affairs and said now we wait. He also told us that the VA doesn't care that I have a durable power of attorney and their concern is a relative misusing the funds. Chances are it will all be OK.
Cowboy is really out of it today. He is almost in a stupor. He wasn't able to get around very well, very unsteady. Hope tomorrow is better.
It was a tiring morning. Actually laid down for a while this afternoon. Haven't done much since but did make a blackberry cobbler.
