Y'all are probably wondering where I have been. Sorry I haven't posted anything for so long. Things go in spurts now and some days nothing happens. I don't think anyone really wants to know how many loads of laundry I've done. Anyway, a few things have happened.

Don and Shirley left Saturday morning and Bill and I took a walk and found how to get into the fitness center. Most of the machines there are for weight training but they did have a recumbant bicycle he could ride and he rode for about 5 minutes. With the 5 minute walk to the center and the 5 minute walk back he got a pretty good workout. Didn't do much of anything else the rest of the day.

Sunday wasn't quite as good a day. He slid off the bed while he was trying to record his pump readings. His right foot and leg would not work properly at all for most of the day and he fell once in the kitchen when he was in the middle of a step. Didn't hurt himself but is really getting discouraged that they have not found out what is wrong with the leg yet.

Monday at rehab he was told to use his walker all the time until they know what is going on with the leg. He was doing pretty good following those orders until this evening.

We haven't done much today. I did do laundry and 2 sets of books. We had to buy a new printer so made a trip to Walmart. We walked around there for about 20 minutes and then took the long way home. It was a beautiful day so we enjoyed the day.

Bill has gotten a little dehydrated today. He's still under his limit and doesn't want to drink anymore. But if he doesn't he'll have trouble walking tomorrow. I've noticed that when he is dry his pump numbers are low. Tina had told us that was why the numbers were off. He also gets dizzy and that's when he starts stumbling. But, stubborn man that he is doesn't believe me, or chooses not to believe me to keep some control over the situation. I know it is frustrating for him to have someone telling him what to do for every little thing, but if I didn't he wouldn't drink anything all day and then wonder why he didn't feel good.

Tomorrow we see Tina and Dr. Hosenpud. Bill wants them to say definitely that we will get to go home for Christmas. I told him today that if he forces them to make the decision right now the answer will be "no". He's definitely not ready to go home physically. I just don't know what it will take to get him to understand that.

Other than this, it has been a quiet few days. We've watched movies and tv and not much else. Will let everyone know what happens at the dr. tomorrow.
