Very tired this evening. Gary had a routine appt with his kidney doctor. His kidneys are not doing so well. We thnk it is because his heart doctor changed his heart meds last month. So, we changed them back today and I hope that helps. The kidney doctor used the "D" word - dialysis. Gary is not there yet, but inching closer. I hope the med change will reverse that "inching closer" trend.
Mom continues to do well. I found out today that when she is ready to be discharged from rehab, the nurse from her assisted living facility will come to rehab and do an evaluation to see if she is ready to come back to her apartment. She will need some help, for sure, and the assisted living facility provides help, but she must be able to do some things on her own. I sure hope she is well enough to go back to her apartment and does not have to go to a skilled nursing facility for an interim stay. I'm sure she'll be fine in 5 more weeks when she can bear her full weight on the leg. Until then though, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
We had a flat today on the pickup. It was sitting in our driveway, thankfully. We have roadside assistance (for when we pull the travel trailer) and it covers our vehicles too, so we just called them to come change it for us. Our driveway is sloped somewhat and it was going to be a little tricky getting it jacked up. We figured that we pay for the service, we might as well use it.
