Grr

Did you read it or sing it?  šŸ˜  I admit that I started singing it by the third panel, leading to belting out the rest of the song.  Don is amazed that Iā€™ve never actually seen the movie, but I enjoy the song.  Jerry is pawing at me to get on my lap because my iPad is taking up spaceā€¦ he tries to commandeer my lap when Iā€™m on the phone, typing on my laptop, eating, talking to Don, reading or just generally not paying attention to his tiny bossiness.  His next move will be to get a mouthful of kibble and eat it on my slippers until I let him up, because he is a persistent, preposterous puppy!  Poor Don is tired, struggling to breathe, having pain in his leg and finding it hard to walk.  I sympathize, I really do, and Iā€™d like to find a way to help him.  Incidentally, heā€™s happy as his preferred team won the cup, so heā€™s looking annoyingly smug!

I just could not wake up this morning.  I had a bit of difficulty during the night, but less than usual, and this morning I just kept falling asleep.  I finally dragged myself out of bed at 12:15pm and thatā€™s only because the occupational therapist was due!  My voice was weakā€¦ I have no idea whatā€™s happening, but I was breathless and raspy.  Hot tea helped and itā€™s improving but I still have a weak voice.  Iā€™m eating, which is good, and I got a huge delivery of frozen meals, so that should cover about 2-3 weeks.  The government is suspending sales tax from December 14, so Iā€™ll hold off on other purchases until then to save a few pennies.  In todayā€™s PSW chronicles, she somehow managed to pull the towel rack off the wall when she was rehanging a damp one after my shower.  I took photos and emailed the agency to notify them and advise that I would be submitting the bill for repairs for reimbursement.  I have no idea how she did that, except that Iā€™ve complained before that sheā€™s roughā€¦

Iā€™ve mentioned this before, but I have a distorted view of my body.  Iā€™m so used to buying large sizes that the fact that Iā€™m now 2-dimensional and tiny hasnā€™t registered.  Almost everything I own is 8-10 sizes too big, which is OK with sweaters for staying home, but not so much for pants, or anything to wear outdoors.  It might be nice if my feet also got a little smaller so that I wear the same size as my sisters; they wear 7-8, Iā€™m a 10, so I canā€™t borrow their shoes.  My goddaughter and I wear the same size but sheā€™s too far away.

Going to find a meal now; I feel less than great, but it will improve after some rest.  Iā€™m going to bed early after this too.  Good night.

This scarecrow is me, taken about 5 minutes ago.  Iā€™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 couldnā€™t walk more than a few steps, I wasnā€™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 Iā€™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 wouldnā€™t stop barkingā€¦ but anyway, they got me here, installed me, and Iā€™m ok.  The staff have all been very kind and helpful, and they seem very committed to ensuring that Iā€™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, Iā€™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.  Iā€™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 itā€™s starting to improve. Short note but Iā€™ll update when I have more energy. Good night

This will be short. Iā€™ve been struggling for the past week trying to breathe and walk around  Iā€™m very weak and Iā€™m tending to be in bed more often.  Not sleeping, just trying to be comfortable  I can manage to walk the 12 steps from my bed to the bathroom, and after a couple of minutes, walk back and collapse.  If I walk to the chair in the living room (32 steps) it feels like a marathon and I need a longer rest before I can eat/ talk/ drinkā€¦ Poor Don is doing what he can to look after me but Iā€™m causing him distress and pain  I feel awful for that. Jerry eagerly waits for me to come out and plants himself on my lap for as long as I can stay out.  My friends have been working on feeding me, for which Iā€™m grateful and Iā€™m doing my best to eat as much as possible.  I admit that my worker made me a scrambled egg on toast, but I only ate half.  I had some soup with dumplings and some TT pelau!! Lovely lady who makes meals twice a week. Iā€™m lying down...
