moved in
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Wednesday, April 2, 2014
They are moved in! There was that delay on the carpet, and when we got there at 3, we had to wait another half an hour, then we were able to start moving things into the living room and then we had to wait again for another half hour or so, before we could move everything. It was kind of a pain, but they were sure trying hard to get done. In fact, they had 4 guys frantically working on that carpet. But we were under pressure too to get that truck dropped off in time, even though the apartment management would have paid for another day and even a hotel room for her if need be. We didn't want it to have to come to that.
My only goal was to make sure mom's bed was made and her night stand, lamp cell phone charger were set up. I also wanted her breathing machine and her oxygen tanks set up as well. Plus I put a bunch of her clothes in the closet and made sure that most of the boxes were either emptied or at least set aside so that she would have enough room in her bedroom to move around in her chair and not get tangled on anything. Her sister will be down tomorrow, and I figured they could help her finish putting things away in her room and hanging up pictures in her room too. Normally I would have done that, but by the time I got the other things done I could hardly walk anymore because my hip was so badly swollen.
It was 8:30 when EO & I left. I was in so much pain I could hardly stand it. Today I am beyond tired and in pain, and fighting a nasty headache. I've taken my big pain pills and it really hasn't done a whole lot.
And, poor EO he is getting super sick. I made up the couch for him, as even he ran and did the stuff he had to go do, when he got home, he took a shower and put his pj's on..and it was only 2pm. I asked if he wanted to climb into bed and he said, no, he just wanted to go lay on the couch and that maybe he would take a nap after while. That is why I made up the couch for him, and got him what he needed. He doesn't get sick too often, but when he does, I still try to baby him as much as I can. I will get up several times to see if he needs anything...in fact i am due to go check on him now. I think I will make some cool aid for him. i don't want him getting dehydrated besides.
He has been running pretty steady for the past week or so... ok, for nearly 8 months now. So much stress and so much to deal with.
he was going to haul in wood earlier and i told him, to just have Colton and James do it. he half smiled at that idea. those boys had that done in no time flat. so i hope EO can just relax now. he was going to go to town tomorrow, but he canceled that.
i talked to Lauren, their first night went well. and she has most of the kitchen unpacked. now she is doing school work and will get back to unpacking later today.
my head is making me queezy, so i am going to go sip some ginger ale and check on EO.
