This week flew by, work was crazy busy and Frank had his appointment in Brainerd with the Pulmonologist. What a difference a clinic makes, they actually had the forethought to take him for a walk and check his oxygen. That's a first - his oxygen level dropped to 85. The Doc wanted him on oxygen immediately! The Lincair van was here moments after we got home. He's supposed to use the bottles with a carrier that slings over his shoulder if he's up and moving but, so far, he hasn't used that. He says it's too cumbersome so hopefully we can get him one of those portable concentrators. He does use the big concentrators overnight though. He also suggested Frank get a blood test for the Alpha 1 gene, may be too late to help even if he has it though but we did advise the girls to have it and, if necessary, the grandbabies.
Weather was, as usual, unpredictable this week. Overnight Tuesday we had freezing rain and then snow. The wood stove got down pretty far so it was a job to get it going with everything covered with ice. The car door was froze shut. Needless to say I was late to an appointment that morning.
When it rains, it pours. Unless you live in Minnesota, then it snows 😕
Picture of the week:
P.S. They won
You had some tough parts to your week...and a LOT more snow than "the cities" did. Just curious...who won and what did they win? I totally respect that you don't have to answer that.
ReplyDeleteWe are in forecast to have more snow tomorrow night/Monday - ugh! No secret on the winning, we play cards with the neighbors every Friday night. We have been doing that for about 10 years now. We mostly play Skip-Bo :)
ReplyDeleteOh, fun! Thanks for telling me. Glad I asked. I heard the snow forecast. I hope your car door doesn't freeze shut again.
DeleteAnd...now it's May 1, so I'm stopping back to wish you a Happy May Day!
