Damn I hate roller coasters !!

Well we are home. In our new house getting somewhat settled and mostly unpacked. Bill has a electric hospital bed. He has a new primary care doctor that we have already visited just to meet her. Dr. Amy Foster right here in Cypress about 15 minutes away. She was great and very through. She got him a chest -ray and blood work right in her office. All test are good except his coumadin level needed to be raised slightly.

Bill is feeling well and adjusting well to the change. He says the food here is much better. HaHa
Today he got the Shrimp Dianne he has been asking to have for months. He got it the hard way.........since Ike is probably going to knock out the power. I didn't want shrimp in the freezer. Luckily I have not even plugged the deep freeze in nor have I had time to grocery shop or cook.

I will say it is harder than I originally expected. Bill is max assist most days but we are working well together and I am able to get him out of the bed and into the wheel chair a few times a day. We started this week with a lady to come in to bathe him 3 times a week. But are still waiting to get the physical, occupational, & speech therapy started at home. I guess we are waiting for the new insurance to get up to speed on Bill's needs. They sent a nurse to our home to do an assessment of his medical history and abilities. She said it should not be a problem and he should qualify. We just waiting and all the while Bill's legs are getting weaker. It is hard for me to do weight bearing with him by myself. I also think I am afraid we could get into a dangerous situation without help. So I have elected to wait.....

We are staying home for Ike. Several people have told me that we are in a no flood area. So it is just the wind and tornado we need to fear. Last night Greg came over to help me move boxes to one side of the garage so he put our car inside of the garage. This is the first time in our lives we have ever had a garage we could park a car inside. Tonight Greg is coming back to help me pick up patio and porch furniture and bring those things inside. Tomorrow Lori and her girls are coming over to stay with us until the storm danger has passed just in case we have any problems we won't be here alone. Also, I had not met any of our neighbors but today two couples came over to give us their phone numbers and tell us we will not be here alone as they are staying also. That was very nice and made be feel more at ease with the decision to stay.

Now that we have our Internet hooked up at home I will get the updates more frequent if we don't loose power. Till then ................your friends on the roller coaster continue the ride.

Love Ya Ruby
