All is well. Today the nurse said that David's lungs are clear, his legs are a bit swollen but not bad. We got a digital scale to accurately track his weight day to day to monitor fluid retention. David has a huge set of exercises at stations throughout the house, standing in the kitchen, sitting in the dining room and prone on the bed. His legs are still a bit weak and these should both loosen them up and strengthen them. We took a little trip to a medical supply place yesterday and got him a new seat cushion for the couch. So far it is relieving the pain in his tush. Today we went to Costco to get a prescription filled and he walked around there. I can't seem to get ambitious to work outside or clean. The repair guy came yesterday to fix the dryer but has to order parts and he cannot do it until the 21st. He keep trying to talk us into a new unit, but it is a stacked, connected washer dryer and while the repair is expensive, a new unit would be almost 3 times more and probably would be even more with delivery and installation. I look forward to NOT running up and down stairs when doing laundry and having David resume doing his. Today I'm just going to relax, read, watch TV and then tomorrow get back into getting this house clean and deadheading plants etc. in the garden. Than will help get the fountain going and the bench and tables out on Sunday.
Ron visited this morning and Fred called him about visiting us Sunday. So Sunday morning he and Fred will be here to visit David about 8:15 or so. It is Ron's final goodbye before he leaves to drive to his new home in San Antonio TX. It is very sad to say goodbye to Ron. He has been a wonderful neighbor and better friend.
