It's a rainy morning, just a gentle rain. Not supposed to be a major rain event. And the heavy rain we were supposed to get yesterday did not materialize.

We got home about 12:30 yesterday afternoon. Kitty arrived shortly after that and she let us know most of the afternoon and evening that we were very mean to send her away like we did. But, she has calmed down some this morning. We got up extra early as Bill had a coughing spell a little after 4. Kitty and I got up then and she's had breakfast and is back asleep. As you can tell, I'm not back asleep.

The trip home was basically uneventful. Thursday night we went to bed a little after 7 and slept until 5. We both woke up then, so we were on the road earlier than we could have been. We hit some rain in Jackson, TN, but that was the only place.

There was a message from the dermatologist on the patient portal that the growth he cut off Bill's ear was cancerous. But, he said that he had gotten all of it and there shouldn't be any re-occurrence. I change the bandage yesterday and hopefully the new one will have stayed on all night. The top of the ear is not an easy place to up a bandage.

His dr. appointment is set up for Monday morning to discuss what Dr. Patel wants and I'm going to print out his notes to take with me for Connie to read. She told Emily that she would prefer Home Health to do the physical therapy in the home instead of any of the places here, but the cardiac rehab would have to be done in either Jonesboro or Memphis. My sister brought up a good point about that, if he's tired after riding for an hour to get to therapy, then tired from the therapy, then tired from the hour home, he will probably lose all of his gains the next day, because he'll be too tired recovering from all the exertion from the day before. So, that will be some kind of consideration. Maybe Home Health will have some suggestions. And maybe the physical therapy will strengthen him enough first that the drive won't be too detrimental.

Today may be a lazy day for both of us, although I could do laundry and get that out of the way. I probably need to take stock for the pantry to see what food we have. I'll have to see about that. I have a couple of new books to read and I need to get back to some knitting projects that are going to take some time to do. We'll just see what the day brings.

So, just wanted to let everyone know that we made it back home, safe and sound, and the fatigue will go away with a few days in our own bed...felt pretty good last night, even with the cat on my legs! See you next week!
