Weather
And the weather is turning.
The rain was promised and sure enough it is here. The air is chilling and hitting the arthritis hard.
Quite the difference this morning for me. I was up at 5:30, having coffee ready for Dennis by six. His PT was at 6:45 this morning.
Once I am up, I most likely will remain as such for the day. After two cups of coffee Dennis was back home. Dan Kern the PT guy is also a wound doctor. The incision from Dennis’ hip surgery needed additional TLC from Dan. One spot always kept weeping. Dan cleaned the area and the wound dressing he put on is to stay on even during showers until Dennis sees Dan next Tuesday. Wonderful doctors so close to home.
Dennis stopped at Casey’s after PT and brought home biscuits and gravy for us for a breakfast. Dennis was wanting to try them for some time. The review from Dennis was made in the comment that he was not impressed. The biscuit was solid and not willing to soak up any gravy. Now we know.
I was in the studio when I got a call from nephew Eric. He first asked me about how to go about getting the power of attorney over his dad’s affairs. Here it was 11:30 on a Monday morning and he already had a unit of an assisted living nailed down for his dad in Cloquet. The unit will be Calvin’s new home. It must be a fairly large complex as Eric said the building his dad would be in had 16 units. It was just two days ago, Saturday, when Calvin had been broached by Eric for a move from Decorah to the Duluth area. Talk about swift plans being nailed down. Cloquet is 25 minutes from where Eric lives.
Eric was on his way back to Decorah and I have no doubt a U-Haul trailer will be backed up to Calvin’s mobile home by dark this evening. Small kitchen stove and refrigerator in the unit and Calvin’s furnishings that he chooses. Calvin told me yesterday his landlord would inherit what he would leave behind.
I am so pleased for Calvin and even more so for Eric. Jason does over-the-road wide load hauls. With the interstate right at Cloquet, Jason may well be able to have a load in the vicinity and get an Uber to see his dad.
Yippee . . . leftover Chicken pasta dish from last night.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
