Monday the 17th
A light and thunder show at three in the morning that turned into rain for most of the forenoon.
We were at the Pulmonary Dept. in Mankato at 8:30 this morning. Dennis uses his CPAP machine faithfully. Once a year the prescription for the actual machine and the supplies it takes yanks our chain. From there we had an appointment at the Eastridge MAYO clinic to visit with the sleep doctor. Dennis is allowed a new machine every five years and the doctor at this clinic is the one that can order it through the Mayo Store on Madison Avenue in Mankato. There is no guarantee how long it will take to arrive. So be it.
There are no other “Dennis Appointments” on the June docket.
We stopped at Harbor Freight. After last week I made a suggestion to our ground’s crew captain. Enough with the five gallon gas container for mowing. Oh yes, that doesn’t mean it would need to be filled to the top. Easier said than done. More was spilled as the five gallon container was more than could be hefted. Two new two-gallon containers will now be in use.
We were home by two this afternoon and dang if it doesn’t look like it could rain.
What now! Two days ago I noticed a noise in the house. It reminded me of the noise our electric fencer made that we would string around the cattle yard. A bit of a hissing sound. Guess What? The noise wasn’t in our house, it is in my ears. Tinnitus. . . hmm. I know Orlin suffered with it for years. Why at this juncture in my days would it become part of my days! I can think of worse things. I decided having some music playing is a good distraction. If Dennis is in the house, there is no question of plenty of noise about.
With that I take my leave. ♥
