In the morning

Barring anything unforeseen – I get to take George home tomorrow. It means that we will be making every other day trips in for transfusions, but I figure that is well worth the hassle. For George? Different walls, own home, bed. But no order off the menu, newspaper delivered every morning, or being woken up two-three times a night for vital signs.

I think it is a good trade off.

We spoke today with both the pharmacist and the nursing educator. So other than anything else having to do with IV meds, I am hoping we can hit the road fairly early (or at least avoid evening rush hour…)

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!

    So glad to hear that George is coming home today. Although I do remember those drives back to the hospital for transfusions as hellacious. But for George, a change in walls and food of choice is certainly on the plus side.
