Flowers Galore

The flowers that were planted around the hospital in differ pots seem to be doing well.

 My wife received this wonderful bouquet from our church.

My wife continues to improve. Her ability to chew and swallow has so much improved. We do have plans in the works for her to go to a nursing home where there is skilled therapy programs. I am not sure when that all happens as there are some medical things that need to be resolved first.

Four Floors

 This set of stairs are so well designed. It is four in the morning and I just had to take the shot with my phone.

The photo above the stairs is a shot of the wonderful sculpture that hangs down the center of it.

Middle of the Week.....

 Shopping for the now 8 year old grandson was fun. He has a lot of things already.  I take photos and check it out with his dad to see it it will not be a duplicate.

The bluebells were pretty but they have had better showings than this year. Dry soil is still the problem.

The peonies sure have grown the past week. The tulips are holding so far.  My other ones elsewhere are already spent. 

A block print that hangs in the hallway of the surgery area.  Della is better than a week ago.  She has had problem swallowing and was on a liquid diet. It caused her to lose so much weight and I complained to a couple of doctors.  We have a specialist that has her now partially swallowing. It is ironic that it makes me so happy when she finishes a whole bowl of oatmeal, even when it is cold. Thanks for stopping by today.

My neighbors are taking turns to  mow my yard. That is so great. I am going to hire someone soon but I was so honored that they wanted to do that.

Tuesday’s Things…

 A new nest on top of an old nest. It is a new thing for me to see. The other thing unusual is what is going on on the opposite beam.

This is a bad, but artistic, shot of the other robin's nest.  I didn't know that they were that friendly to one another.

 

 

 

 We are still at the hospital. Della is better but still has not been able to walk. Supposed ly Medicare is going to kick us out in seven days unless a doctor can give them a reason to keep her on for a while longer. Decisions are in the works but I can't say anything is etched in stone.  They had here sitting in a chair this morning while I was gone to do my chores at the house.  Della is on a  better diet of soft food now and not strained thin food.  She is learning how to chew and swallow to cover for the venting injuries. A good solid diet of real food might make here have some strength again. 

 

Clump Birch

 I really miss my true Minnesota birch at our old place. The clump birch just isn’t the same but I can appreciate my neighbors tree across the street.

Sunny Sunday....

 I sit here for a quick moment as I make a pit stop at home. I return to the hospital soon. I fix a quick cup of coffee and pretend I am not living a frenzied life. Della is better but still has swallowing problems. It is a horrible way to lose weight. I am concerned.

It is Sunday.  Monday is coming and I hope for the good of the future. Thanks for checking in today.
