Good afternoon! Sorry I didn't make it here eaarlier, but Missy & I were busy getting things ready for Bert's homecoming. Even as I type this, she is bringing him home!! He called this morning that he is getting released as soon as someone got there to pick him up. Boy, will this be a relief for everyone in the family, especially ME!
I think we ordered just about everything that he will need that wasn't covered under Medicare. Things like a shower chain. I'm waiting for an Amazon delivery now, as well as a delivery of a walker that is covered under insurance.
Bill - Lucky you getting to spend a week in Aruba (I hate you!!!) They have some wonderful restaurants there, but they are pricy. There's one we loved called Que Pasa. You walk down an alley to get to it and it sort of overlooks a parking lot, but once they turn on the lights at night, it's really beautiful. I had the best lobster thermidor there that I've ever had. Last time we were in Aruba was with you and Joanne & Jeff. It was the day Obama got elected president. One of those days you don't forget too quickly!
Kathie - Yes, I will make sure he drinks lots of water. I knew you couldn't resist saying that. Thank you, doctor, for once again practicing medicine without a license!! LOL
Bert will be getting physical therapy here at the house 3 times a week. Now it will be his turn to live around those appointment while I just relax and do my own thing.
Lee - M&J live less than 5 minutes away from us. Our retired doctor friend and his wife live right on our block and our other friend also lives about 5 minutes away. I think we will be able to handle this. Biggest problem is going to be when it comes to shopping. My most immediate problem is that I need a case of wine from Sam's asap!!!
Dave - I'm sure you're right about the cat. Knowing him, he will plop right down in the center of the bed for a couple of hours and once he's finished with his nap, he will jump off the bed and go do his own thing. Then he'll just wait for me to come out of the bedroom to start throwing him his treats that he likes to chase and catch.
Nancy - I'm sure we will make out fine with the sleeping arrangement as planned. If Bert slept in another room, I wouldn't be able to hear him, if he needed me and the same goes for if I needed him.
They should be getting back soon, so I'm going to get off here and make sure everything is ready for Bert's homecoming. Have a great rest of the day, everyone!
