CONTINUAING

We continue to walk the small paths with Spenser.


Dad is continuing to take his medications.  Today Rick will take the prescription over to the Safeway.
He brought home this prescription from the hospital.  It is for Plavix which is a blood thinner.

Yesterday was an exhausting day especially for Rick and I.

The worries started when dad felt very tired and could only say a few words.

He had a rest.  I do not know if that was okay or not.  When he woke up he said his headache was worse.  This is the reason the ambulance was called.  The girl was familiar and they arrived quickly and they were compassionate as well as cheerful.  They took dad".s  blood pressure   which was 145 over something..  We do not know why this happens..  He saw several doctors and he believes they contacted the doctor from the /Stroke Prevention Clinic.

Rick had a to hour wait to pick up dad.  Both Sandra and I feel it is important that some family member is allowed to go in with him.

We are continuing to look at the no visiting rule.  Loneliness is not good.  

We all were thankful for a good night's sleep and a sunny day to day.

Thankful for family!
Rick, at dad's request is working on the will.

Hope you slept well Mom. Is there any improvement re his stomach problems? I guess the new blood thinner drugs got from the hospital will help with his BP and stroke potential . I did not sleep well , I am trying to use a new CPAP mask , and its not going well. It was very warm overnight didn't drop to under 21c. Melina and the kids stayed overnight at Torquay , its a small surfing village about 100km away. I didn't go as there was not room for me in the car,Nonna went as well 😆

I think it is incredibly sad to not allow at least one family member. This year just keeps getting more wild and depressing as it goes on. Hoping you all have a much better day today.

Too busy of a day yesterday to work on your blog? The wind was taken out of our sails when Randy got a call he had to go to work last night. He did still make supper but then had to go to bed right away.

I did a bit of yard work this weekend, cleaned up some branches and leaves.
