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.
The photo above the stairs is a shot of the wonderful sculpture that hangs down the center of it.
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.
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.
It is Sunday. Monday is coming and I hope for the good of the future. Thanks for checking in today.
Yes they are the same tulips but it is a different shot. The Rembrandt tulips are some of my favorites.
My newest tulips that I planted last fall are not so impressive. I suspect the drought gave them a slow start and maybe next spring they will be more showy.
When my wife was put on the ventilator they did some damage. It has been a while and she still can't chew and sallow food. She is on a liquid food diet and really needs calories and nutrients to get the muscles restore. It is frustrating as I had to call back the throat, swallow therapist and said things are not right. I watched my wife choke and stop breathing from a noodle in a chicken soup. I did get the professionals attention and she is in every morning now.
It was a bad night for the patient and the husband caregiver. I just think they are not giving her health enough attention unless I point things out. A sick person who has a fever and a bad head ache isn't going to b able to tell how she is feeling. A nurse should be watching them close enough that they can see something is wrong.
Above the garage sits the Life Flight helicopter. We hear them come and go all day with emergency pickups of patients.
Yes, that is the moon up there in view as well as the helicopter. We hear them come and go a lot now thqt the weather has warmed up.
Della is better. She has throat problems from the vent and swallowing is keeping her from eating the way she should. Liquid diets is all she can handle and she really needs to eat. Rehab is slow and exhausting but much needed. Day 23 of being in he hospital.
My wife is in rehab now. The transition from intensive care to now was not an easy one. Better is the word that I will use as she does have a long way to go. Use of her legs is a concentrated effort but will take time.
My wife has been moved from the Intensive Care to a short term unit room. Plans seem to be in the works to. get her into their rehab hospital program. She is better but has a long ways to go.
The hospital sits downtown so I get all sorts of views in the area. The core I-235 cuts through the city. I was out on it to go to a heart doctor's appointment. Of course their was a minor crash on it and I had to m move toward my clinic at a snails pace. Eventually I got off of it and too a major street the rest of the way. The red lights seem to be all working but I did get there.
