Wet Snow
The threats were made good. We got about four inches.
Yesterday, I had put salt down so the walk from our back door to the garage door would be free of ice. It worked quickly and well. This morning when I was going to clear a path from the house to the garage, the salt I had put down yesterday served me well as I could push the newly fallen snow off to the side and the bare concrete made the path safe.
Grandson Ryan cleared the drive this afternoon with the skid loader. He was able to push the alley snow far into the backyard. He also talked to the fellow that grades the alley and it may be such a thing that that the next snowfall will be plowed to the south so the little red pickup door doesn’t get blocked. It sure doesn’t hurt to ask.
Today Dennis got to visit his patio porch for the first time since January 11th. Dennis had a stool to put his foot up onto. The kitties were very thrilled. Short spurts outside, I am sure felt good. The pain pills are no longer first and foremost. That is a great thing.
By all accounts, things are progressing well. I will be back on board for dressing and wound changes. I will be using Acetic acid to wash the incision. It is vinegar and saline solution. The strange thing is, a prescription is needed to pick it up. I am sure my kitchen vinegar is not acceptable and then . . . how much to mix with the saline is another question. The $5.00 for the quart bottle is doable.
We are not sure what we are hungry for for supper. It is up for discussion.
