I'm alive!
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Thursday, October 4, 2012

So yeah, the last couple days were pretty horrible. But I've improved now. Today I just feel crummy... wahoo! Which seems so odd to be excited about, but "crummy" is such and improvement and I feel like I can focus on others again, so I know I am alive! :D
EO is worn out. For one 45 min apt for the doc to measure my mom's eyes, they were up town for 6 hours. Mom just had so many places she wanted to go. She is now getting her prescriptions at CVS. Although they had to wait for one at Kmart, and for them to fill just one prescription, they had to wait, 45 minutes. There are 4 people working in the pharmacy, and they can't get things done any faster than that. That will be the last time she will be going there. Everything was transferred now.
So although EO isn't healed up yet, he did ok yesterday. Although they took Lauren's van so that both EO and Lauren can lift mom's wheel chair in and out and in and out and in and out and..... They are going to keep using her van at least until he is all healed and he can manage the chair by himself.
My face does still hurt today and my low back is really unhappy with me for some reason. Those are my two biggest pains today. All my other pains are normal pain that I can deal with. I would like to go out and see the horses, but I don't think I can handle the wind. The horses still spend most of their time at B&C, but I see them at least once a day when they come and get water. They are really happy girls. Steph wishes she had time to see them, but she has been gone SO much this week, between the Merk and the Inn and house/dog sitting.
I did get to talk to her for about an hour yesterday after she was done at the Inn for the day. She took reservations and was shown how to check people in. I think she is going to like the job. In another month or so, I think her hours will drop at the Merk. So the Inn will be really nice to keep her going. She says there are details that the staff is forgetting to tell her about the job. I told her she should make a book of how to do the job there. Then if she forgets something she will have it. Also, if someone else is getting hired, she can help them with her book. She has gotten a little distressed by not knowing some of those details. She did ask Colton a couple things but he hasn't been there while she is there, or here as they have both been gone a lot.
Holy Macaroni Batman... it is really windy out there today. I guess tomorrow won't be any better, so hang on to your hats!
