No-see’ms, Boxelder, Asian Beatles, black flies, and the occasional mosquitoes . . . sure can take the best part of a fall day and keep me inside. That’s not all bad. What we have left is to wash off the siding of the house and then wash windows. With the grain elevator just several blocks from our home, the corn dryers are allowing the pink corn husks flying 24/7. As we drove home from Mankato yesterday I would dare say the harvest won’t drag out with the size of equipment we saw.
Dennis is resting well with ice packs changed out quite often. He did visit the Veteran’a Health Clinic today to have his INR, the rate that blood takes to clot, checked. Dennis was off of his Warfarin, blood thinning, for a week before surgery. It will take several trips to have that level checked and perhaps alter the daily meds until it levels out. After all, with his left carotid being cleared, it may mean a change in several meds in the next week or so. Right now, he is saying that after the three month waiting period he will be having the right side taken care of as it is 75% plus being blocked. Time will tell.
