Getting it Done
Dennis and I have it down pat as to how to get his left foot dressed every other day from the surgery in January. Between he and me, his nurse, I think there are definite signs of healing. Monday we visit nurse Jody at the Mankato hospital for her take. March 28th can’t come soon enough for the lower extremity artery Angiogram on his leg leg for a better supply of blood getting to the left foot.
We have experienced a winter of doctor appointments for Dennis. The walking pneumonia had quite a grip on him. The one prescription of Symbicort coupled with antibiotics eventually did the trick. I pulled him off of the Symbicort once the lungs were clear of mucus as it was doing a number on his vocal cords. Dennis even used a spacer to get the inhalant as far down into this throat as possible. Live and learn.
We had letters to get into the mail this afternoon and that ensued a drive out into the countryside. Dennis said I needed to get the stink blowed off of me. It did the trick. When we came home, I went for a walk down Stauffer Avenue and then visited the studio.
Working slowly on my new project is key. Everything must be worked with a 1/4 inch seam and all seams pressed to the darker side of that which has been sewn together. What has helped me with the seaming is that I could move the needle in the machine to the right by three, allowing for channeling the fabric at a set marker. I can’t work for long stretches as the left hand has a short attention span. No way is picking out errant stitches any fun.
We have decided on Progressive’s Chicken Noodle Soup for supper with hot buttered toast. Campbell’s soup does not hold a candle to our latest choice. Also a lot less salt.
Enjoy the weekend. We have waited a long time for sweet temps.
