Good morning! Unlike Nancy, I had a terrible night's sleep. Seems like the home health nurse that was here yesterday took a look at the 2 sores I have on my right leg. Due to the poor circulation, they are not healing and one is "weeping". So he went ahead and put medication on them and then used a pressure bandage to wrap them. I complained for the rest of the day about how much my leg hurt, unless I had the leg down. Same thing was happening when we went to bed last night. I ended up sitting on my side of the bed all night without sleeping! When I get up this morning I took one look at the leg and woke Bert. The dressing the nurse had put on was too tight and my leg was all swollen! Bert redressed the leg and the swelling is going down already but it still hurts like hell. I'm keeping the leg elevated and that helps to make it more painful, but there's nothing I can do about that. The nurse called my primary while he was here to request a prescription for an antibiotic, but so far one has not been sent. As Kathie always says - It's always something.
Dave - Sorry that once again you were on a wild goose chase after the elusive key lime pie ice cream. Better luck next time. Have fun weeding!
Nancy - I agree with Bill that you are going to love Juneau. Among other sites, we went to a botanical garden that did the neatest thing. When a tree died, they cut off the top and then carefull took the rest of the tree out of the ground, cleaned off the roots and replanted it, but put the trunk part in the ground. On the roots they hung hanging baskets of flowers! It was so cool to see these all over the gardens.
Bill - Great start to your Cribbage season. Glad you met a nice couple to play with. Have the winds died down yet up by you?
Kathy - Art sure is being ambitious with getting the painting done. I guess he wants no excuses to keep him from biking whenever he can go.
Our salmon dinner last night was delicious and boy did they ever eat it up! I thought it would be enough for us all to have leftovers tonight. That's not going to happen. There might be enough salmon left for 2 people. We do have enough fettuccine though, so I'll have to maybe make some chicken to go with it.
Time to get off here and head for my lounge chair. That's a better place to put my leg up than up on a kitchen chair. I'll try to stop back later, if I don't fall asleep that is. Be good, everyone, and happy hump day!
