March 2

Nice time and breakfast with Norm and Molly on Sunday.  Always good to visit with folks from home!!!  Both of them are HAMS (radio) and former SAR members. 

Having a bit of trouble with Lincare since our wonderful delivery person got a promotion and he had spoiled us!!!!  They must be short handed because they aren’t coming on their scheduled days and we are getting very low on oxygen bottles which is freaking Bob out!!!!  Hoping they get things straightened out soon…

Mixed bag of weather which is typical of this time of year.  Some rain, some freezing temps., some sun, etc.  Even had a dusting of snow last Saturday morning and then again on Wed….

Ok… Bob writing now so it may be a little less eloquent.   Challenges.   It is getting more difficult for her to move around.  Needs more oxygen and it takes longer for her to recover from movement.  We stopped at Kohl’s on Wednesday and she struggled, even with the wheel chair.  The breakfast with Molly/Norm was great, but it really exhausted her.  Might be a few less travels to restaurants.  The trips are fun, but challenging.  Still, she needs to get out of the house. 

Thankful for the Pulm Rehab activities.  While that activity is declining, at least she continues and has not given up (we have had that discussion).  Tri Care said we can get her a wheel chair if the Dr. will prescribe.  We are avoiding that, or at least postponing until absolutely needed. 

Travel for Bob is getting less.  I am uncomfortable with being out of the 30 minute window to assist her.  Safeway, Fred Meyer, PetSmart, fuel, is about it (no reason for other shopping).  My mall walking exercise is only a few minutes away from her pulm rehab…  Besides… I need to check out all of the mall babes and their walkers.    ;-)

Found a local dentist.  Bob got a check up and cleaning on Thursday, Betsy next week.  Nice people.  Almost as nice as the folks back at SeaBrite in LG. 

The RV Park folks have had discussions with me about watering plants again this summer.  I honestly hope we are not here, but it will keep me busy.

we have been thinking of you guys this past week. Shamfully I don't read your blog very often, I hardly read my own e-mail. I pat myself on the back just to navagate thru it sometimes. It's gray and wintery here today. Snow, sun, typical spring weather. Your squaters (deer in the yard) have moved on this week. I haven't seen them. I have seen a little black cat sitting on your porch in the sun, solar powered animals. Things are quiet in the neighborhood. Quiet is good! We do miss you guys and send along our prayers and love.
