Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's a bit gray and drizzly, but not actaully rainy. It'll be upper 50s, close to 60 today, so a nice early spring day. Later tonight, maybe into tomorrow, there's a fair chance of rain. The newly popping out greens and flowers would appreciate that.
Yesterday: The day certainly didn't turn out like we expected. In the morning DH made a bunch of calls, to order missing medicines and to change appointments that conflicted with his dialysis schedule. Then we found out that the home health agency was not the correct one for our county (no one ever asked what county we live in! LOL!), so that had to be rescheduled. Late in the afternoon we rode into town to pick up the rest of the prescriptions and get a few more groceries. A few things still need to be figured out, but we're slowly getting there. At least we both got out of the house, even if it wasn't a lot of moving around.
Today: Today will be the first appointment at the local dialysis center. I am hoping I'll have a chance to talk to the dietician there (as I keep being told that's the person who will help me figure out what we can and can't eat!). I should have time to run a few errands and get groceries before we head home. Perhaps by next week we'll have a handle on what's "normal" for us. Maybe. LOL!
Today is "Brutus Day" ... "Ides of March" ... "True Confessions Day" ... "Admission Day (Maine)" ... "Constitution Day (Belarus)".
