Well.....  not much to report....  made a grocery store trip yesterday, mainly for snack and lunch items as Home Chef is working out wonderfully... the three meals we had had leftover enough for 2 additional meals, repurposed slightly....  just got delivery today for next round.  You can choose the day you want them delivered...  wed-fri...  anyway waited until after Home Health nurse had left...

The rest if the day was relaxed.  We sat out on the deck for an afternoon cuppa tea...  Larry has reverted to tea, as coffee seems too heavy to him...  fine for me.. i am a tea drinker as well....  we also sat out again this afternoon....

Just got our first shipment of "supplies'' for driveline dressing changes...  each of these are designed for single use, so that will be great...  i have been using larger quantity hospital stuff....  where you had to open every single packet of 4x4'' gauze

for each day dressing change, it is:
2 sterile towels
2 drain sponges
10 gauze sponges
3 squirts of clens liquid
Equal amount of sterile saline water
Sterile gloves
Foley anchor to keep the dtiveline from pulling out
And tape

Got 4 boxes of supplies today...
 instead of opening every single gauze packet, the new ones are in sets of 5, one use size of water....
It was difficult to learn how to open without touching anything on the inside....
But the gloves were the most frustrating to me...  but once i got a set and practiced about 10 times, I got it...

Then.  Oh yes then...  took LitaBit in for her annual checkup and shots, 3 weeks late (playing catchup) and QTπ had a sandflea bite that needed attention.... meds for her and maybe a return visit...

Now watching the radar on tv....  all that is on...  hope the storms fizzle out before any more damage is done.... be alert...
