home again home again

Yay - after 6 days at Avista I am home. I spent my first day today " homebound" I am not to drive or do anything to strenuous.



I arrived home in the afternoon yesterday and then I received supplies and a visit from a home health care agency. I will be giving myself Iv anti biotics until I am released to return to duty ( that could be 7-10 days) . I have a "power PICC " and it has seals that have vacuum to them. So I had to learn how to administer my drug and clean up and flush my own lines. All good I am a quick learner and fast study though there were a few moments when I had a pain pill an was not 100% certain I was following the procedure.



We ended up going to purchase a recliner - we bought a Lane, and moved our love seat in the downstairs office to the bedroom. so the recliner is there near the TV. it is awesome and allows me to rest with my feet up. S hooked me up to the 52 inch screen with my computer !! so I can read e-mail surf the net and generally have a great time home alone.



I will see an infectious disease person tomorrow afternoon., and a home health nurse will be here tomorrow for the Blood draw to measure the amount of my antibiotic call a trough? she changed my dressing too.

I didn't post this on tueday when I wrote it - posting today

apples, weather, weekend, -more....

So tonight is the softball banquet for Hh and the teams _ I of course have contributed the 200 + softball photos I took (lol) - this has nothing to do with the elk pictured above I just wanted to give you something to look at !!



over the past weekend we did a load of apples - from our tree in the front yard this was the best crop ever- all the neighbors wanted some all got some, we made apple sauce and it is quite yummy

we spent sunday on a project that needed to be finished, we too paneling off the dining room wall- if anyone has been at our house they know that has been there forever. we we finally finish - painted and adorned the wall with words.

we had 70 degrees plus until tuesday night- now we have very chilly weather. waiting for a predicted 3-4 inches overnight.

more bathroom photos

The towel rack with pretty towels and flower accent

Another view of flowers and new faucet and the re-freshed mirror cabinet

The little details like white and blue trimmed out cabinet made this a lot more fun another little glimpse of the tile work J did. and the trim S did

lastly the doors ah the doors that began this project.

tile- Emergency inducing

Hh picked up the flowers for decorating- the freshly painted blue grey walls

New shower doors these prompted the entire - re-model frenzy

The outstanding tile layed by J, just prior to cutting his thumb nearly of three tiles from the end of the job.

this is an amazingly beautiful layout with a ton of triangle cuts that J had to make mostly with a razor knife, that is what nearly sliced his thumb right off.

ginger ale and bed for us.

Well we are all feeling what ever that was SSD2 had!! - pukey I went at 6:30 this morning to get ginger ale and othe assorted mild bland things to keep the - vomit at bay.

I am going back to bed, - been up since midnight.

the day after?

Saturday fun, homestyle.

we had a nice dinner at home, a fun fireworks afternoon. - and fun decorating a few of our personal spaces- front and back of the home.

my Beauty

I love this photo we took together in the kitchen today! my daughter and me - she is great.

oh what a night! last night

We had a tree from the neighbors house come down, in the wind. a very tall cotton wood at 11:00pm last night. it took out all the power to the house by pulling out the wire from the pole to the house( it fell on it) no one was hurt no dogs were outside, the Fence took the brunt of the damage, public service Xcel energy came out about 1:30 and worked on cutting up the piece that you can see here. and hooked us back up to power about 4:00 am this morning. So oh what a night we had, no rest at all. Tonight we had vestry and then its back to the grind in the morning.

the claims adjusters will be out tomorrow to assess all the damage, though we have a 1000.00 deductable..... lets hope we can get the fence repaired.

this is part of the reason Hh doesn't like wind- she was very scared after this happened.

Well now we need to look at the other trees the ones in our yard, to be sure they need a triming too. but for now I am off to bed I will share more pics tomorrow or this weekend, I have a new altered project to share as well. stay tuned for more news in the chronicles.
