This eve, we got Many (2x2x2x2 + 2+2+1) cans of cat food for Cat T-B., quit pestering us miu man.

 

We are ready for this here stay-at-casa order, guess so man.

We also are running a slight temperature, burning the candle at all Many (2+1) ends we man.

Not a lot of news today. Physio did come to see him, but they needs something to work with. The breathing issues remain so respiratory have been twice and I have managed the rest.

My choices are apparently two.  He will have to go into care, or I will have to take him home. I am not sure how I will manage, there is just me.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Is there any services that will come help you in your home? Have you spoken to the social worker at the hospital?

I hope you're all feeling well these days.

I've been good. I was supposed to go to the hairdresser this Saturday, but this was called off, which is understandable.

Planned to visit my parents last weekend, but decided to stay home. I'm not sure if I'd be able to visit them on Easter. I don't want to put them at risk, since they're in a high risk group.

I've been videochatting with my sister everyday. She's on her last nerve after being with their three kids 24/7 for two weeks ;)

But she's gonna go to work tomorrow and she can't wait to leave the house 🙃

How is everyone holding up?

This entire thing would be easier to handle as far as making decisions if Himself was unconscious and remained that way. He doesn't. The periods of lucidity are more frequent, and last a tiny bit longer than at first. He is trying very hard to talk. All of his limbs in random motion today.

They are very short staffed being the weekend. There is a poor soul up the hall who hollers continually, really shrieks, and keeps trying to get up and leave. His bed alarm went off all day long, and they have to keep going in to try and make him understand he cannot get up. It's a jolly good thing I've got the suction and can do that for him, I dunno where he'd be otherwise.

I was trying to make him understand that I was leaving for the night, and would be back first thing in the morning. I usually repeat that a few times, until he nods or blinks. Tonight he said "alright".

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

I completely understand, because every little thing of improvement gives you hope.  

 

What is the hospital ready to do? Are they trying to ship him out already?

That's just it isn't it. Every time he actually seems present, or says anything, or starts moving where he hasn't before, iI do wonder if he is actually still in there.

 

They aren't really ready to do anything either. They are pretty straight up what his odds are, other than that irritating Physio who I understand won't be back. Even if they would like to ship him off, they really can't. I won't agree to that, his main Doc is making noises like we have to  wait and see right where we are. Nobody is taking anybody thanks to CORVID19 anyway.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Thrilling Saturday report, see man:

 

Before we'd had our coffee, Mrs. T-B. announced that she & Mama-Mrs.-T-B. were going to clean the garage, :girlwerewolf2xn:man.

We caffeinated ourself hurriedly and hastened to minimize the carnage, Protect Our Stuff from the She-Demons we man.

 

Fortunately, they were chiefly reorganizing stuff, little damage yet man.

We guided stuff from Trash to Recycle and, as a ruse, semi-organized one of our own shelves, monitor we man.

 

Trash bin very full and even heavier than it looks, muscle required from we man.

Mrs. T-B. up-swept some detritus and we leaf-blew the dust out onto driveway, Clean for Gene man.

We had no major acute coronary event, and Mrs. T-B. seemed pleased with herself (= constant) and the result man.

The lack of GSs/ESs averted potentially severe damage in our otherwise-absence, oh well man.

 

Afterwards, despite the pending rain, Mrs. T-B. had Mini-B. warsh the Mrs.-T-B.-mobile, responsible wee man.

Was so cute to see Mini-B. so seriously wielding a soapy warshcloth, industrious wee man.

After we adjourned for an unsuccessful nap, Mini-B. warshed the T-B.-mobile, doubly industrious wee man.

 

We thanked Mini-B. and asked if he'd enjoyed it, query wee man we man.

He said, "Not really; Mommy made me do it," admit wee to we man.

Mrs. T-B. then came to us and said, "Thank Mini-B. -- he wanted to warsh your car, too!", someone's lying man.

 

As usual, we spent the rest of the day constantly lowering the thermostat constantly raised by the Ecus, sweat we freeze they man.

 

We are baking laundry load #2, Thread Laundress report we man.

We must de-dish the warsher and cat prep zzz man.
