Yesterday I managed four miles and 21 minutes on the bike. My knee told me about it later, but not so much today. Today neither Jim nor I got a chance to work out. We have to stay vigilant about this and pick it up again as soon as we can.
We took Kathy to the doctor and lunch, which took a good part of the day. The doctor visit went well - he's still attempting to get her admitted to an assisted living facility so she will have some help maintaining the stoma while it heals. Both Jim and I saw our first colostomy. It's not a pretty thing - Jim turned several interesting colors and left the room as soon as he could and has been tagged Captain Squeamish. Women, especially moms, are immune to wounded flesh and the sight of human feces. Any mom has had to take care of both and can do it as a matter of course. Kathy's incision seems to be healing well and the staples are going to come out on the 21st. After we took Kathy home we had errands to run didn't get home until nearly 2 pm. I had to go out again around 3 so that pretty much took care of the day.
Tomorrow I'm off to get my hair done. It's been two months so it's getting long and the color needs a little enhancing :>). After that, I'm off to the optometrist for my annual eye exam. I believe Jim has plans to go to the VA regarding a hearing aid. Can you believe he's actually going to do something about possibly hearing a little better. I'm excited.
Friday the house gets cleaned and I can hardly wait. It's hit the more than grubby stage. I don't know what happened this time - we just seem to be messier than usual.
The move for Kathy is definitely on and we've gotten good commitments from Mandy and Becky to help get this done. I'm counting on other family members coming forth to help out. It will be good for her and Jim and me to have her settled in a place where she's happy and has some companionship.
