Yuk! A dreary overcast 68F overcast morning greeted me as I went outside to check my world about me. The sound of vehicles on Cutting and about the hood. The sound of a trash truck in the distance picking up trash containers. Hmmmmmm.

Back to my room while coffee finishes brewing. '

Thinking about what Winds will come my way this fine day to be alive again.

Did have a sink light problem this morn. But after getting the cover off and rotating the lights , all good.

Now we sitting in my room chillin'.

 

 

And for Brenda da Wife! After an afternoon of getting through admissions at the Crowley hospital, the day has come for her shoulder replacement. Needs to be at the hospital for 05:30 today, the 8^th day of December.

1^st time yesterday setting a clock in a long time to make sure up at 04:30. Normally up way before that but sometimes drift off back to sleep. ;=) 

Thanks for all the well wishes

Sucks when both our phones quit working. Brenda's was me hitting a wrong button as I don't know that phone at all. Mine was an on going problem with being able to do most anything but recieve or call out. Been having problems with that phone for over a year now. So 850 bucks later not worried about it now. Ha ha ha.

The new Galaxy 22 in the charge mode then I'll put the phone numbers I want back in it. LOL only about 20 numbers. Then the notes.

No big pain meds for Bren this weekend . Drug stores out of the one send a subscription to WallMart for the next few days. Hmmmmmm. Hope my old toothache meds give her a bit of relief.

So onwards with this day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And gonna put my weed eater to work for a bit.

 

 

Since getting home it’s been Therapy for Brenda 3 times weekly. Coming along fine and love the gals doing the work on getting her back in shape. Light exercises on the arm and more on the rest of the body.

 

 

Then the visit to Dr Hollands office 10 days after surgury and the patch off , Staples out. A light set of bandaids that should fall off in the next couple weeks.

 

 

 

 

Other than taking care of my gal though these days or recovery, doing more things around the home she can’t do for now. Plus what I normally do. ;-)

 

Great Xmas Day with the Sis in Law at her home. Daughter’s s family all there also. Gumbo and several other sides made the dinner great. Did wash dished for her for something to do while they were gossiping at the table. ;-)

 

Home, A ride about for Da Bride and that brings us to today.

This gal has been my main concern for the last few months. Finally , the shoulder replacement a done deal with Dr Holland from Jennings. 

We were not really happy with the doc from Lake Charles so wanted a 2nd opinion with a Dr I knew from past experience with my shoulder injury years ago. 

He had x rays done and explained everything about the injury and the probably limits if no surgery. So done deal,  Lets have it done. 05:30 be at the hospital to get started. Operation was done in Crowley where we stayed for 2 days.  Love the staff taking care of her. 

Home at about 2 PM Friday. A visit to the sisters and check on Ella whom had hip replacement done a week ago.  Hmmmmmm 2 sisters with major body reworkings in the last few weeks. Hmmmm. 

Next for me was finding the dead mouse smelling up the garage.  Did find it stuck to a mouse pad  so in the trash and clean up the area.  Some of the food the wife had up in the garage had attracted them and they ate through some packs of spaghetti.  Oh well, live and learn. 

Other than that, tending to the wife's flower beds as that out of her doing for a while yet.  Plus gives me something to do besides sit at this computer. 

Then a phone problem yesterday morning when we needed to use them sent me to ATT to get them to straighten out her phone. And see what's wrong with my phone > Again .  That thing works when it wants to for phone calls but did text okay. 

So $860.00 later I have a new phone that works. And after about 4 hours learning it and putting what phone numbers in it I need.  We good. Samsun S22 is the new phone, The S12 in the drawer if needed. 

A meeting with Home Health yesterday afternoon set up future therapy sessions. Starting Monday at home. So we carry on from there. 

And that catches us up for now.   

 

 

 Wow is all I can say about the last month. 

Ella at Dee's sink.  And the good news is she did get the hip replacement finally done last Wednesday in Lafayette. She did call me Thursday afternoon to let me know how things go. Already 3 therapies. And hopefully back to Dee's in a few days. 

Then there's my wife, Brenda. And her injuries to shoulder and foot. 

Still with the dizzy spells. The foot slowing getting better. The shoulder is the main problem. After 3 visits to the Doctor in Lake Charles, he's saying operation for shoulder replacement. So told him we'll give it another month. 

So back to town and a discussion about a back up opinion with Dr Holland here in town.  1st appointment was cancelled due to him being stuck in surgery. So, a back up appointment set for the 6th > Tuesday. He's the doctor that got my shoulder back working but was not near as bad as Brenda's.  And if gonna have to be replaced, rather do it in Jennings. 

Other than that for the last month, not a lot different going on in my life.  

Did decide to go a different way on next years garden. Back to the ground for sure. 

Did give all the drums and braces for them to my Niece near Welch

So this set up is gone for sure. 

And 2 of these are what's happening for next spring. Which are 4 X 12 feet.  Still have to buy dirt for the other one. 

Other than that, new tires installed on Brenda's Nissan Rouge and really changed the ride. Had the work done at Walmart here in town as the discount for a former worker covers the taxes. ;-) 

And the last thing is a new computer for me , an HP from Best Buy in Lake Charles and we still learning on it. Pretty much have it going my way , or me, it's way at present. And way faster than the older Dell. 

And Da Brenda a new laptop from Walmart here in town as my old laptop I use to use in my travels is about 15 years old and so very slow. So, been another learning experience getting that set up for her.  Now, is teaching her to use it. 

And besides a couple batches of wine being made and bottled in the last month or so.  Rasin and Fig, not a lot going on. 

So, till the next.
