Sunday was a real relaxing day, I was exhausted. My body is not used to staying up in the chair 14 to 16 hours a day but I would and will do it again if given the opportunity.
Yesterday was my first appointment at the wound care Center and everybody was so nice and so knowledgeable. I always dread when I have to transfer out of my chair for any reason but they really knew what they were doing. They gave me some new ideas and some new products and the prescription for a Roho seat cushion because the doctor did not like the J2 deep cushion that I have on my chair now. I also had some blisters around my SP tube probably because of rubbing and my scoliosis brace so he gave me some skin barrier pads to try. I got home and Heather brought over some vegetable crapes with a cream sauce and made some brown rice and some guacamole, it sure was delicious.
Today after I got up I had Susanna take my van to get washed, it had not been washed since I moved here and I was embarrassed to let anybody see it. When I lived in San Jose I got it washed about every two weeks to a month, it sure looks good would it is clean. I remember the first time I took it to get cleaned they put ArmorAll on the floor and I slid around in the van for about a week before we could wash it off... it's kind of funny NOW. Heather came back over and made some killer tacos, black beans, salsa and some more guacamole. She's going to be busy at work for a while so she's coming back over tomorrow to make some chicken Cordon Bleu, stew, chicken salad and enough salad to get me through the week, I feel so spoiled eating all of this fantastic food AND I'm losing weight.
I noticed when I got up this morning that Brodie's bed was soaked so I called the vet and they're going to put her back on her not leaking pill. They had to move her urethra because whenever she would urinate and stand back up the urine would get caught in her thighs and burn and inch because of her muscular pitbull thighs. After a while she started leaking so they gave her some pills but took her off because the leaking stopped, here we go again. They put her on some antibiotics because of itching and that's when she seems to be the most so hopefully it's a temporary thing.
