I took my electric skillet up with me and a couple steaks because the local meat store had them on sale cheaper than hamburger. Your Ubar likes his meat rare and so I seared it both sides and seasoned and called it done for him. He LOVED it. I wish y'all could have seen him chair dancing with every bite. I used an electric outlet in the dining room so that the kitchen people could actually smell what real food smelled like. LOL. I took his truck up because he is reaching the point in PT where he needs to get the rhythm of getting in and out of the high truck safely. I park it right outside the PT room and he spends the time getting in and then getting out. Since I have to pretty much jump up and in while gripping the door on one side and the steering wheel on the other, it is kinda funny to watch him. Right now, they have a little stepstool that they make him use, but the goal is to get away from it. It seems like a silly thing to call PT, but whatever it takes, will be done. He does his laundry in OT. Thank you God. I was tired of running clean clothes and dirty clothes back and forth every time I go. LOL. Yes, that does make me lazy! I admit it, but I was seriously beginning to feel like a laundry service instead of a visitor to him. They have people who do laundry there, but you get no guarantee of all the clothes getting back to the right patients, and big guy clothes are hard enough to come by so I didn't want to chance it. His kidney output is more than excellent, the filtering function of the kidneys is a lot slower catching up, but it is making progress steadily. Now that the weather is supposed to be warmer, even if today is chilly, he spends a lot of time outside wheeling around in his chair and feeding the birdies with bread from his meal trays and popcorn that he gets the nurses to pop for him in the microwave that he cannot get to.. lol.. the sparrows see him come outside and start gathering in the bushes, waiting. Personally, I think it is cute. You can almost hear their minds going.... Hey! it's the giant guy! He brings food!
Thank you all for your love and support and prayers. They are all very much appreciated.
love, woobie
