I'm so sorry it's be so long since I have updated GmaGrumpy's blog! She's still here. This is a picture Eddie took of her mid-July. He put the flower in her hair too.
She's doing okay. She talked with Dr. Jafari at dialysis today. She thinks she may get physical therapy again. We'll see. I never know what goes on at dialysis and sometimes, okay most the times I don't get the right story from her.
Tonight after dialysis, Eddie and I went to the ward Tuesday night picnics. When we came home she had all kinds of questions and stories for me. These are the actual things she said:
M: "Where did I go when you were gone?"
D: "I don't know where did you go?"
M: "I was in a car."
D: "Who was driving?"
M: "I think I was."
D: "wow! Who were you with?"
M: "I don't know." She went to say something else and she said, "My mom said," and her eyes got big and she said, "I guess I was with my Mom."
D: "You were?"
M: "Yes, she was here she got me ready for dialysis."
D: "No Mom, that was me."
M: "Oh! Well, I went to dialysis and they stuck two big needles in my arm!"
D: "Yep! That's dialysis."
M: "Then I came home?"
D: "Yes, and Eddie got you KFC for dinner." Look of confusion...."Kentucky Fried Chicken!"
M: "Oh yes!"
A few minutes later:
M: Where did Eddie and his wife go?"
D: "Eddie's wife?"
M: "Yes!"
D: "I'm his wife!"
M: "Then where did Eddie and your niece go?"
D: "Which niece?"
M: "The one who slept here last night."
D: "A niece didn't sleep here last night."
M: "Well, where did she sleep?"
D: "Which one?"
M: She thought for a moment...then got all excited...."Shannon!"
D: "She slept in Sacramento last night."
M: "Oh! Then I guess I can stop worrying about her!"
D: "I guess so!"
And there you go. Just a quick snapshot of our days!
She just told me she didn't have any of her pills today. Fortunately, I take care of her pills now so she has had all her pills today.
Last week she had a few days where she seemed very alert and with it and I felt good about things. The last few days she's been moaning all night and day. I'd love to know what she dreams about. This morning she was licking her lips like she was eating something. She says her legs hurt and that's why she moans. She also says she moans, just because she can. Other than the crazy comments posted above, she's been quiet tonight.
It's been very humid the last few days so the AC has been on 24/7. Fortunately tonight it's cooler so we'll open up the house in awhile. I've already turned the AC off. She hasn't complained yet. Usually she'll tell me, if I turn the thermostat up....it's really hot in here.
So, the whole house is warming up while the outside is cooling off. It should be a nice night!
Eddie goes to work at Midnite. She always asks in the morning after he's worked a midnite shift, when did Eddie get home. She told me last week that it wasn't worth both of us being tired for him to be working 2 jobs. Eddie decided after working from midnite to 5a.m. and then 8:00a.m. to 2:30p.m. That he's too old to be doing that, so tonight is his last night for the midnite job.
He doesn't have to work tomorrow, but we have a sealing assignment at 10:00 a.m. He's already told me, I get to drive to the temple while he sleeps so he'll survive!!! It's all good!
Ooops! This is Gma's blog! Sorry for the tangent!
