I've been seeing posts from Roto on FB fairly regularly, and I know that she reads my posts there as well. She tends to post when she's just finished a grueling number of consecutive days at work, or when she has just seen another proof that others with whom she has to share the road don't know how to drive. When she speaks of being in pain, that's when I wish she was less motivated to work so hard.
Yes.

Or most of them some of the nephews and nieces weren't in there. It was great that so many showed for the 90th bday party. Ginnys mom is in the Orange shirt Ginny is standing right behind her. But like I say about 15 were camera shy or weren't part of the family. People came from back East, Arizona, Texas, Idaho. Pretty amazing.

@2legsshrt is that one of the hats I knitted that Ginny is wearing?
I don't think so, I think its the one from the cancer center. It's back to chemo today. Our grandaughter is here with Great Grandson and her doggie. Our dog is such a beech. He's just a happy friendly little guy and he doesn't get why she is being such a beech to him.

Well no chemo this week. She has to get a blood transfusion tomorrow 2 units. Her red blood cells were too low and don’t want to do the iron. So Gdaughter won’t be here to help me she goes home Sunday. I was hoping for help this time around but guess it’s not meant to be.

Taken from my front yard to da NE.

Yesterday we had a torrential downpour about 4PM. I was driving at the time and turned a corner and saw a complete vivid rainbow. It was unusually small and compact and it was beautiful.

I hope Medicare will cover this it is very confusing to me. We have a supplement but not sure about this.

{{{{Patrick}}}} Ginny might feel a lot better once she has the transfusion. Maybe you won't need as much help as you're anticipating.

Call your insurance and ask them about the coverage. At least then you'll know and maybe ease your mind a bit.

Have you called social services in your area to see if they have a program for helping people get around? Many places do. Also, Medicare has coverage for home nursing. I don't remember if it's fully or partially covered or based on so many days but a call would give you the answers. Then you could arrange for it when you need it most.

I am sure you and those around you have checked out a lot of places for help . . . However, just in case it might be a good thing to check again, the following maybe able to provide you some assistance, especially some "Caregiver" help for Ya' both . . . Hope the links are helpful and Ya' find some assistance, even if it is only being able to talk to another caregiver for some additional support . . . ;)

That is awesome! So many there that probably haven't seen each other, & won't again, for many years. Fantastic!

I get two pints with my policy. After that I either replace or pay.
Yep our supplement covers the first 3 units which Medicare doesn't then pays the copay after that because Medicare picks it up after 3.
Man I'm so tired with all this stuff can't seem to catch up. Well after today nothing for the rest of the week. This place today at the hospital there is no parking close so I have to drop her at the door and either try to find something close or they will call me when they are done about 4.5 to 5 hours. I don't want to come home cause Alyssa is having our heat ducts cleaned this afternoon and I don't want to get in the way. Woke up at 3 and couldn't sleep came downstairs and was able to sleep for a while woke up then fell back asleep for a while. Plus I'm pretty sure I broke another rib. I leaned over the the seat in the car and got a sharp pain now it hurts like heck again.

In the trailer for Old Man With a Gun, Robert Redford raises his right arm and uses his right hand as a "hand" gun. What strikes me as odd is that his right eye is squinting. He's squinting with the wrong eye while lining up the sights on his imaginary gun.
