Have to report on my birthday (67) yesterday, Sept 1.\u00a0 It was a good uneventful day.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t want John to make me a Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting, but I did want two presents.\u00a0 One was a squeaky toy and a rawhide chew for the puppy, Rhu.\u00a0\u00a0 He now has a name, and a neat toy hamburger he loves.\u00a0 He can jump up on the sofa along with it and settle down for a nap with his mom, John, or an aunt.<\/p>\n
John put in more time digging for the bottom of the stand pipe where the leak is suspected.\u00a0 He then went to the pasture to mow old grass, roses, and other nasty weeds, and ended up getting a stick caught under the drive-belt.\u00a0 Apparently the belt and the stick both fought gallantly until they both died. The mower quit moving forward when the friction and heat stretched the belt.\u00a0 So, yet something else to fix.<\/p>\n
Birthday afternoon at the hospital out-patient clinic was delightful.\u00a0 They were all attentive and everyone on the staff came by to wish me a happy birthday.\u00a0 They had a little snuggle bear on my pillow for me to have and take home.\u00a0 There was a milkshake ready with extra protein and supplements.\u00a0 All went well, and they changed the dressing on my PICC (has to be done once a week).\u00a0 It is nice to be able to report nice things.<\/p>\n
Today is Thursday and was another great day.\u00a0 We got my other present I requested when John got a haircut from the lady who has done my hair cuts since I arrived in town in 1988.\u00a0 I normally do John\u2019s hair, but was unable in the past few months and his hair was beginning to look like Einstein\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Then I went to play fiddle and sing at a nursing home and had another good hour.<\/p>\n
Finally, left there in time to get to my infusion, which again went smoothly.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all, but wanted to give you some good news for a change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
