I started this blog when I was 66 and I turn 69 today. Wow. I received many lovely cards and ecards and it makes me feel good. Just think of all the people out there who are disconnected. I feel quite connected and it helps a lot.
My thermostat quit on me this week so had to spend Wednesday at home waiting on the repairman. Some part in the attic burned out. Wonder why they put them where it gets to be about 125. Oh well.
I finally got my "bucket of bolts" repaired and I took it down Wednesday and got it washed and cleaned up. It looks pretty nice. Still have a few little interior problems and a dent on a tire well. No hurry but hope to work on that soon.
I went to see Cowboy yesterday. He was in a good place. He called me "Sweetheart" which I haven't heard in a while and seemed alert. They had catfish and he loves that and then there was german chocolate cake which he ate with relish. It takes very little anymore to keep him content and comfortable. It was really hot so we didn't go outside. I got him to walk around some in the day room. We watched two episodes of "Walker, Texas Ranger". Still no TV remote. I ordered him a new one and hope it arrives soon but he doesn't seem to care what is on and it could be worse. You can adjust the channel on the front of the TV but he doesn't seem to know that or do that.
I don't think that I mentioned in the last post that I talked to the Dr. on Tuesday. I have been concerned about him refusing to take his meds or get his sugar checked. She says this is not at all uncommon and I shouldn't worry to much but that she will see that every effort is made rather than just shrugging it off. I guess there is not much else to be done unless it goes on a lot. The regular day nurse "Norman" doesn't have any trouble with him so there is definitely a personality component to some of it.
Have company coming today so am off to the grocery store.
