silver_chipmunkI was woken up at 10:45 by my therapist calling. She sent me a link to a video call and we had a session. That was good. Then I had breakfast and ciffee and took a shower and dressed.
And then I walked over to see Oldest brother. He was in the hall in a wheelchair, which was good to see rather than lying down in bed. I played the Jean Shepard broadcast that John had sent, and damned if it wasn't around an hour long. He enjoyed it but I was getting pretty antsy by the end.
The nurse came over and talked to me during it, she told me that even with the increased medicine, when they took out the Foley catheter he couldn't urinate, so they had to reinsert it. Also the doctor is going to talk to the surgeon about the gallbladder issue.
After the Jean Shepard thing was over, I stayed for awhile and chatted to him, then left and came home. I wanted to charge my phone before I went into the Bronx so I went to the bedroom and lay down for awhile.
Then they called from the nursing home, it was the social worker, who said there would be a conference about his care and did I want to participate? Of course. That was set for the 7th at 12:00.
I texted the Kid andmashfanficchick about this. Then at 5:00 I got up and took out the bag of trash from the other day when I emptied the trash cans. They called me back from the nursing home, to move the conference to Tuesday at 11:10. So I said yes. I'll have to vote after that of course.
Then I went to the bus stop and went into the Bronx. Had pizza for dinner, and then went to my meeting. The meeting was veery good. We had a newcomer.
Got a ride to the bus stop from L. Came home and Skyped the FWiB< for about a half hour.
Then fed the pets, and started here.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Oldest Brother was well.
3. Have a chance to talk to them about him next week.
4. My meetings and the people there.
5. The Kid.
6. Pizza.
