I am finally seeing mom this morning. I haven't been with her since the end of August. Seriously, it is going to be non-stop talking! Also, I am going to sneak into the other rehab to see how my saturation levels are doing. Dr. K. ordered a CT Scan for this week so I will not be returning to the rehab class until that test is reviewed. I guess I am feeling that I am home from vacation and back to the work of everyday life. That is not a bad thing!
We tried to hook up the new stove/oven and discovered that the wall plug was 110 voltage instead of 220. It was set up for 220 at one time but was switched to 110 for some reason. So, the call goes out to the electrician today and maybe we will have some homemade food before the end of the week! Tomorrow, I begin the reorganization of all the cabinets in the kitchen. We lost some storage space between the cabinets and the refrigerator and everything just needs to be clean and sorted. Michael is going to buy a new range hood this afternoon so the electrician can also hook it up.
Yesterday, Betty was more aware but still highly drugged so she was feeling pretty good. Her son was on his way to help Chip. Betty has been driving her sister the 60 miles into Albuquerque five days a week for chemo therapy. Hopefully, Jesse will step in and take care of his aunt. He is a really good guy who adores his mom and Chip and I feel so much better having him with there.
We had such a nice time with British Don yesterday. With the top down on the car, we drove through the city then down along the Marina with its world famous views. The weather was warm but not hot so it was perfect convertible weather! Michael even got a bit red! We discovered that his famous friend, who is the executive chef, was not on site. It was a beautiful restaurant on a gorgeous site where we sat outside overlooking amazing views among the new Lucas Arts Center. But, it was rather a fiasco. Everything went wrong. After ordering and leaving fresh cocktails on the table, we left the table with the waitress to look at the inside of the restaurant. Well, the table bussers thought we had walked out. We returned to a totally cleaned table. What no one realized is that they also cancelled our lunch order with the kitchen. Finally, after an hour, they brought out free food and our order finally arrived ninety minutes after we were seated. And it went downhill from there. The good news is the food was fantastic. Throughout lunch, we just kept our humor, had a nice time with the waitress but I think the chef will hear from Don. He was not amused.
So, into Monday I jump. Gently, I hope! Rehab, mom, electrician, dinner out somewhere....Another good day of living well with a bad diagnosis.
