Today we take kids to the pool.
Tomorrow I will go to Oklahoma to see my dad. I have not done so in two months.
I am taking Monday off for appointments with my sister.
Next Friday I am taking a personal day. @Marsha32 and I will go to quilt shop hops. That is where you go to many quilt shops in different towns.
It is time for my second cup of coffee and then out the door. Good morning to you.

Oh, I am certainly trying. More caregiving is entering in to things, though.

@andriaperry He has had four UTI's in the last month. Diabetic meds were also adjusted and he crashed from that. He seems okay. He looks puffy in the face. . . He seems happy.

I am trying to see him every month at least. Possibly more often. He has had a lot of issues since last November, and you can tell the Alzheimer's is setting in.

I'm glad you still hang out with Marsha. I've taken off a lot of days the last two months to try to elevate my foot more. I think I should have gone on short term disability for a few months back least winter. Then maybe the wound would have healed mush faster.
I was on this page earlier and then decided to work on my bandaging. I think it's cool that you paid me a visit before I got started with mine.

I am a little worried about you and your non healing wound. I hope things improve. I miss my friends when I am not here. Marsha32 lives 90 minutes from me since I moved, so not as much visiting time.

@GardenGerty well I don't like that the wound is slow to heal even more than you. It was larger and has improved over time going from one large one to two and now it's down to just one.
I'm thinking of going ahead and taking short-term disability from work for a few weeks and see whether that helps. The PA's think I spend too much time standing which allows the blood and fluids to pool in the area of the wound impeding the healing.
I have taken vacation days so I could elevate my feet more but usually for three days at the most and then working the other four. It may have helped but not as much as I expected. Maybe continued elevation will do the trick. If in two weeks in in the same place then I'll probably be treated at the wound clinic by the same people but using other methods.

@GardenGerty Take care of him and if you can stay with him for a longer time he would feel better.

I do not know how to do that, and I imagine you do not either.
