November 24

I just got off the phone. The Queen was actually well enough to phone me. She needs more shampoo. Apologies for not posting anything on the blog for the last couple of days. Sunday was a busy day with church, lunch with the fam, visit to the hospital, and hockey in Battleford. By the way,I am glad the score clock wasn't working in Battleford Arena. Yesterday, I hosted my men's splurge club (a.k.a. Tool Time). I was busy cutting kielbasa, cheese, pickles and other healthy snacks for the Knights of the Tool Bench. Judy has been enjoying the new found supply of orange creamsicle Ensure. There are times when she feels hunger, but she does not trust her system to keep the food down. Yesterday, she said she would like to try three bites of a Subway sandwich very soon. The catheter is still doing its job; however, there is still some fluid draining from her backside. Judy is having a CT scan later this week to determine whether there is any fluid pooling in her groin area. Judy is also spending more time sitting. She describes the odd sensation of seeing the world from an upright position after being on her side for six plus weeks. Visiting someone face to face is a real treat.
