The HH nurse called me around 8:30am. Needless to say, she woke me up, which did not make me happy since I was up kind of late. My doctor had called Home Health to tell them he wanted a nurse to remove my stitches. The nurse never had a chance to call HIM. He was responding to my call to his nurse on Friday. Oh well. At least the problem was going to be taken care of....
The nurse said she would be here within the hour. Was that okay with me? I told her, *I guess so since you woke me up already.* In reality, I laid back down, knowing that Baron's barking would wake me when the nurse showed up. Sure enough, it did.
The poor gal really struggled at times with my stitches because, as she said, they had been left in a bit too long. The incision is pretty much totally healed which tells her that it's a good thing she's taking them out or they might have been swallowed up into my skin. **Gulp** Scary thought. I might have had to get the stitches removed surgically...lol...wouldn't that have been a kick in the head?
So the stitches are gone and I can scrub myself down once again without worrying about pulling them out or having them catch on something. That hurt! I'm just glad that's over and done with.
The party dress that my friend Carol bought for Chewlee came today. I called the Princess who complained that Chewlee was getting more mail than SHE did. That made me laugh. Carol is going to send me some things she bought for the new baby (to take to the shower with me). She is wrapping them so they will be a surprise to me, too. I will just have to fluff up the bows which are the ones that have the wires along the edges so that should be easy.
Carol calls herself the *stand-in granny* since she has never had any grandchildren. Her sons are now of an age that she never will either. So she has decided that she is happy to adopt MY great-grand's as HERS. She has such a big and dear heart that I told her I am glad to share them with her. I think she is having fun with all this just from different things she says to me when we chat online. Too funny.
Our weather today was overcast and cold. The Beast only went outside when he had to (to get the mail was one thing). Other than taking the garbage out, that was pretty much all his journeys outside today. Our high was around 48 but the wind chill factor said it felt like only 40 degrees. It is supposed to go down to freezing so I made sure all the windows were closed. Keep that cold out of the house...fresh air be damned! LOL. The Princess said she would bring over Chewlee tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on her behavior (in school, I think she meant). I told her I hoped it was on Tuesday, after school, since Carol is hoping so much that it fits AND that Chewlee loves it.
Well, I see that the cloud cover is interfering with the TV so I had better get this posted before I lose the Internet. Love you all. Hope your week is off to a great start. ***Hugs***
