Tuesday, 10/22/24, Got home from ER at 4 in the morning, slept in, went to Wes and Gayla’s, picked up mail that was held, had ultrasound to check for blood clots, 2 found,

Swelling went down some on my feet.  Still swollen but not as bad

Cute pictures of Jared and Eli in their blind!  I’m excited for them!

 We slept in until 10:30 after getting to bed at 4:00 this morning.  We got ready and went to Wes and Gayla’s to visit them and see what we could do to help.  We visited and caught up with what’s been going on.  Wes is using the walker and hopping on one foot now.  Yesterday he was using the wheelchair.  He’s making progress.  His visiting nurse came while we were there.  She was really nice and easy to understand.  Bill moved Wes’s motorcycle out from in front of their zero turn lawnmower.  We looked at all the damage to the motorhome, trailer they haul their motorcycle in and shed.  Lots of damage, but it could have been much worse.  We left after about an hour and a half and went and picked up our mail.  Lots of it!  We went through the car wash and the truck is nice and clean again.  I called and cancelled my hand appt. with U of M.  My hand is doing great, so last time I was there the dr. told me to cancel it if no problems.  We went to Leo’s and had breakfast.  It was delicious.  Vikki had called us when she was at Hobby Lobby, so we called her to see if she could come join us for breakfast, but she was already home.  

I start therapy for my thumbs tomorrow.  I have osteoarthritis in them and Paige told me I would only have to come for a couple visits and she could help me avoid them getting bad and needing surgery some day.  I noticed when I had to use my left hand for everything my thumb hurt, Also exercising with my right hand made that thumb hurt.  

I talked to all four girls today.  They are all so caring.  I am blessed.  I went at 5 and had an ultrasound to check for blood clots.  Could hardly believe it when she came back and told me I had 2, one in each leg.  She couldn’t reach my doctor, so then got another doctor from the office on the phone.  The doctor wanted to talk to me.  She explained that they were non occlusive so I didn’t have to be admitted.  She was so nice!  She had just gotten off an airplane.  They had told her everything going on.  If I have any shortness of breath, I have to go back in right away.  

I talked to the girls and to Sue and Gayla.  Read my Bible and worked on my blog.  Read all of the literature I got from the ER and also from today’s appt.  God is faithful and is watching over me.  So thankful He loves me with an everlasting love.!
