                Good day from our home we are not at the hospital.

                When I arrived that the hospital yesterday morning my favorite wife had finished her breakfast and was very happy. She was laughing and kidding around as a lady was there discussing her medicine list with her.

                I just learned that I would need to remove the wrap that covers her bandages and replace it every other day when at home. This wrap goes from her foot to above her knee. I have watched them take the wrap off and put it back on several times, and they gave me a paper with instructions. It sounds like I will be doing a lot for a while. They gave me some new wrap to use.

                We have learned that she will need to go to the doctor (surgeon) on the 25^th at 11:00am. That will be the first time we have seen the area of the incision. David will take her there in his car as the seats in the truck and van are too high for her to get onto. Luckly, Dave is on vacation next week.

                They brought us a knew wheelchair a little before we got ready to leave yesterday afternoon, the insurance covers that.

                At home things are very difficult for me as any time we attempt to move Donna she has very bad pain. The pain has very little to do with her leg, it is her back and the sciatic nerve pain. If we could get rid of that we would be way ahead.

                My favorite wife is not allowed to walk on that broken leg but she can stand on it.

                Today I have been attempting to do my normal things and do her normal things too. I do not know why but as soon as I begin to work here in the house I start to sweat and yes, the air conditioner is on. Today I have divided out pills by morning and evening I need to go to the store and get some vitamin D pills, and a few other items. I washed two loads of clothes and dried them, I vacuumed the floors, and I watered the potted plants in the hot house, I took Alex to school, and I helped my wife in and out of the chairs. I could say I made lunch, but I just warmed up leftovers from last night's supper. A neighbor brought us a shepherd's pie, salad and breakfast. Neighbors be good!

                I am tired and I am not done.

I have a photo of a flower. The photo is not as pretty as the bloom, but I am posting it anyway.

I will stop for now and see if I can get some rest. We hope your day has been good and you have stayed safe in all you do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.
