Good morning Rounders! It's 63* going to 84* today.
I went to the medical equipment closet and got a really nice shower chair and a toilet seat riser for after the Sx. Today I will scrub them up with bleach and see how they work for DH. This will remove so much stress from him.
We moved the computer into the Master Bedroom so DH could avoid that one step down, but I think it will be better to move it back into the Family Room and I can maneuver him into the rolling walker and get him in and out that way. The computer being in the Master is taking up precious space and I don't think the OT people will like it when they come to access the house for safety. We will practice it today, but I won't let him overdo. He is still in pain from the doc moving that foot around and he is icing it down 3 times a day and taking Advil, but he is really having trouble walking and getting around the house. He is wobbly and it worries me.
While doing my walk around the yard yesterday I discovered that my Forget Me Not seeds have sprouted. Yes. It was the watering that made them pop up. Now if I can see some California Poppies poppin' up I'll be ecstatic. Of the nine fountain grass volunteers that I transplanted only 5 survived, but that is a good amount cuz they get big and make an impact. One of the Lantana plants that I pulled up from the front yard and planted on the bank has survived also and I didn't think it would. The freeze got a few of my beans that I planted, but I'm thankful it didn't get my Yellow Pear Shaped Tomato plant which has blooms.
The last 4 grocery trips to Aldi's we've gotten our money back on the deli meat that we always buy cuz it has ruined way before the use by date. I won't buy it again. It's a really good meat, but I don't have time for that and I'm stocking what I can now so I will make fewer shopping trips after the sx. I've stocked up on ground beef and divided it into qt baggies so I can make meatballs, tacos, meatloaf, hamburger steaks, etc., and I'm filling my saved ice cream plastic containers with ice and will put those in the freezer in our garage. I am stocking up on milk and I will buy an extra gallon and freeze it every shopping trip. How did we ever function without that freezer? I've also stocked up on canned products like tomatoes, tuna, pasta, etc. Of course I'll still have to shop once a week for bananas and fresh stuff, but it can be a quick trip to Save A Lot.
I watched Lydia's Kitchen on Create tv this morning and she made Chicken Parm. OMG! We love it, but I'm not going to all that trouble to make it. Man it looked so appetizing though.
Aunt Maye hope all is good with you and yours. Peace & Plenty.
