The shoes finally came in and we got a call last week. Yesterday I took him in and we got them on him and they fit and are comfortable. He wore them home and the rest of the day. Surprisingly he put them on this morning without prompting. I put his boots up in the closet and will hope for the best.
Marsha was not available today and they sent another aide. It is hard to have so many different people around and trying to get them oriented. Hope this is not a trend. I read an article this past weekend about an expected shortage of folks to do home health and respite care. I don't think it is something I would want to do and they don't pay them enough to make it worth for most of us.
Today a friend and I went looking at granite again. It is all so beautiful and some of it is amazing. Of course the amazing stuff is way beyond my budget but still am considering doing something. In the process of getting quotes on some of the selections I made.
It was a very nice day. We went into the city and went to two locations and looked at lots of slabs. We then went to lunch and to Home Depot and the grocery store.
I am beat tonight. It was really hot out today and I am even a bit "pink" from standing out in the sun. Just heard the high was 102.
Our daughter is OK. They got power and water back on Monday so can take care of the animals and themselves.
On Monday one of my grandsons called and asked to come down with his daughter for a couple of days. They arrived Monday night and stayed until this morning. Had a nice visit and really enjoyed seeing them. Has made for a busy week.
Cowboy started undressing this afternoon about 4:30. I asked him what the problem was and he said he was hot and his clothes were too tight. He stripped to nothing and then was wandering around. He then went to the bathroom and then got into bed. I told him it was only 5PM and I was fixing to start supper. He said he was just going to lie down for a few minutes but then he promptly fell asleep.
I wonder if having company and then having a different caregiver today and all of that wore him out. He seems to be fine with having the company. He doesn't really engage with them at all but didn't seem upset or anything.
