Razzmatazz

It’s Sue’s third morning home, so I’ll post a wee update.

She was given stool-softener tablets, and I think they have wreaked more havoc than anything. Aside from that, or along with that, she feels very bloated. The pain, however, is more under control — not gone, but lessened in intensity.

After the first night in the chair, she tried the bed for the past two nights. Finding a stool to help her climb in and then arranging the pillows better, led to a better sleep last night. And she wanted a full mug of coffee this morning. Progress.

Somewhat miraculously, she has managed to keep up with her daily photos. Yesterday, her prompt was something to do with unique perspectives. When Sha and JJ dropped by with milkshakes in an attempt to get something more into her, she set up a photo with JJ.

She had him hug her while I snapped a picture of his hands. Then, I took a picture of her hands holding him. She superimposed them in one of her programs and then added some magic razzmatazz.

Meanwhile, I’ve managed the laundry. I am struck that with all of the knobs and dials on the machines that she only adjusts one or two. I think that I more or less have it down, but I will likely require more repetition, especially with the sorting, to get it firmly implanted in my wee, male brain. I learn slowly, but I learn.

Also, after washing many dishes by hand, I relented and used the dishwasher last night. I’ll have to empty it in a bit. Then, I will pick up this week’s grocery order. I ordered online because I didn’t want to leave Sue alone for too log whilst I wandered abut the store. Oh, and I put the garbage out this morning, which is a first since Sue had been attending too due to my convalescence. 

We're not doing too well with food, but we have bananas, cereal and toast, so we are surviving. Really, neither of us have had much of an appetite.

So, there we be.
