Thanks for listening

Monday mornings.

Traditionally bad.

The padding in Kathy's open cast has shifted and worn.
A couple times now, she has woke to excruciating pain from pressure points while she slept. It was the outside of the foot where the pinky toe joins it, now it is the back of the heel. Some redesigning is in order. Time to upgrade the padding!
I'm thinking Memory Foam (U.S. Patent #948,744,213, All rights reserved, To be used only with the exclusive permission of Memory Foam, Inc.).

Let's see what have we done so far? -
Woke up, helped Kathy to the toity, brought her into the kitchen in her wheel chair, made coffee and "Eggs-in-a-Hole" for us both (yes, I washed my hands first), gave Kathy her medicine, made a lunch for me, scheduled two more service calls, put her foot back into the "Boot" that she hates so much (because it forces her foot into the 90 degree position), another trip to the toity (the coffee is so good for that), situated Kathy back into bed in her sanctuary, made sure she has fresh water, remote controls, laptop, meds, phone, checked the mail, rubbed Kathy's head until she falls back to sleep (Okay, I didn't really do the rubbing her head thing, but I wish I had time to, does that count?). I have to get to work!
You see why I'm glad so many of you like her too? It's very time consuming to see to the needs of someone who can't put weight on either leg!

Jessica is incredible in so many ways through this with Kathy. I can't describe the sacrifice to her own life that she has given. Not to lessen everyone else's help (Kathy loves the Mount Shasta water and spray that Michelle brought, Cindy checks in regularly, Kristi also, many more throughout the day when I'm at work, Scuba Rick brought flowers and smiles, Mona, Thane, Parrish, and on and on). I do have to throw special props to Jess though, she has really gone above and beyond since the day this happened!

Michael would be a Shaman in another life. Nutritionist, Acupuncturist, Electrical Impulsinist, Body Art Puncturist, Free-Form-Emoting-Forward-Shadowground-Healing-Physiologist (can you tell I have no clue, what to call what he does? It does seem to work though!) Yep, Shaman Michael, you are a strange, but valuable addition to the Tribe.

Mikayla is coming over for a "Twilight" Marathon today. Kathy has never watched any of them and Mikayla is a big fan!

Looks like monday might not be so bad after all!
