It was a beautiful, sunny, crisp Fall day today. Absolutely lovely. But I was also cold. I'm wearing socks and a sweater and I'm wrapped in an afghan, because I'm feeling chilled. I went for a walk today, which was close to double my usual length. I went to get my hair cut; the last time - about 6 weeks ago - I had to have my hair washed at home before I was driven 2 blocks there and back. Today, I walked over and back, was able to get my hair washed in the chair, and then sat for the out and style. I call that progress! Don is not a fan of the new look, but (as he pointed out) it'll grow out. LOL Jerry napped on my lap this morning, and again while I was video chatting with the family. On that note, I'm pleased to report that my phone is working again after a week. Huzzah! (or some other similar noise!) Jerry is right now full of energy and is bouncing around like a rabbit on springs! I'll be ducking him for a bit.

My appetite continues to yo-yo. I had a small chicken shawarma, which was divided in 2. Last night I again woke up with low sugar, so I had a can of Coke and some food. Today was the shawarma, tea, a half Coke and water. I'm back on the anti-emetic for a maximum 10 days - hopefully I won't need that many! I don't like either not being hungry or battling nausea.

It's that time of year when the news is showing Halloween decorations but commercials are gearing up for Christmas. I'm not a fan of this season-squashing, but I'm simply going to ignore them! I'm also openly admit that I'm not a watcher of horror movies. It's a long-standing joke in my family since my siblings all binge-watch horror movies. This time of year I traditionally avoid TV, but with multiple streaming services, I'm good! I will be happily watching The Muppets with their wise cracks and monsters. I'm good with that. It may seem childish, but I'm not a blood-and-gone fan. It was for that reason I never watched more than 2 episodes of "Game of Thrones" or 15 minutes of "The Witcher." I'm perfectly happy with Muppets, or, at a stretch, a thriller. As you might guess, I'm not much of a fan of Halloween. It was never a "thing" when I was growing up, and I never really adapted to it. But I do love Christmas and I gorge-not just binge- on classic movies. I've changed my views on some of them for being misogynistic and otherwise outdated- and those are the cartoons!

I'll be quietly watching kiddie-level Halloween shows, and then I'll begin on the Christmas shows! Good night!

This scarecrow is me, taken about 5 minutes ago.  I’ve had to be admitted urgently to the hospice, and that required my doctors to be as persuasive as possible while I argued to avoid this fate.  However, I was not doing well at home, and I couldn’t walk more than a few steps, I wasn’t eating a lot and struggled to breathe; made worse trying to find a spot that was comfortable for me to sit without aggravating the sore on my back.  The room is private, fairly large and I’m in the bed.   I felt bad leaving Don; he barely had time to register that I was going before the transport guys were wheeling me out on a stretcher.  Jerry is very annoyed and wouldn’t stop barking… but anyway, they got me here, installed me, and I’m ok.  The staff have all been very kind and helpful, and they seem very committed to ensuring that I’m well cared for.  We hope that a few days of rest and food on demand will make a difference to my recovery. Meanwhile, though, I’m in ro...

Hospice

 The staff here are really lovely They do a great job of looking after me. They do a wonderful job of ensuring that improve cared for.  I’m happy with them, My sister surprised me with a visit to check on the facility and we had a short time together but fun.  I had a couple of bad days which are improving. That meant several nights of no sleep so it’s starting to improve. Short note but I’ll update when I have more energy. Good night
