Wordy Wednesday

 On this... the day we celebrate our 25th 2nd 1st date ANNIVERSARY :) ....

I wanted to document a day in the life post-double-hip replacement but honestly... taking pics felt like too much... but I don't want to forget the details...

5:30AM Up and out to get the coffee... say good morning to Miss B who is getting ready in the downstairs bathroom, drop Husband's coffee on his kitchen chair (table), take the pillow that has been stuffed under the mattress and put it under the cushion on the love seat to prop him higher when he's sitting, put the remote on the arm of the couch and make sure there's a cozy blanket within reach. I go back to my bed for coffee and devos... I'm almost done the WHOLE Bible again! 

6:00AM Upstairs to shower and get ready for the day, say good morning to Minnie who has taken over Husband's side of our bathroom :)

6:30AM Come back downstairs... gals have emptied and refilled the dishwasher, let the chickens out, taken the dog out, fed/water him, refilled the cat food and Mr. Allaire picks them up by 6:40AM

I'm getting pills, fresh water (with a lime :), breakfast for Husband, making my lunch, filling my water, taking out whatever we need from the freezer for dinner that night, ice packs for his hips, wipe down the kitchen counters, replace the dish towels, check the bathroom for trip hazards (that dang bath mat! :) make our bed so it's ready for him to do PT and spray my new favorite Cranberry Crumble Febreeze EVERY.WHERE. :) YUM!

7:00AM Kiss the Husband goodbye

7:22AM Punch in (phew if it's before 7:23 it counts as 7:15 :)

Sometime in here someone comes to visit and to help with lunch... breaks up his day and getting food from the kitchen with the walker is def. tricky....

3:22PM Punch out and head for MMS

4:07PM Pick up Miss B, head home

4:50PM Unpack, fill dishwasher with work dishes, tidy up, check in with Minnie who was brought home by either Mimi or SIL L :)

5:10PM Minnie and I head to either MMS or MHS depending on where practice is

5:50PM Back home... get dinner, help Husband with the shower, eat, hang out, clean up

7:30PM (MONDAY NIGHT) Help Husband DOWN the deck stairs and INTO MY CAR to come pick up Minnie WITH ME!!!! WHOOP WHOOP!

8:35PM The three of us are back home, I am getting ready for bed, Minnie is showering, Miss B is hanging on the couch THINKING about going to bed, move the pillow back under the foot of the bed, tag team making coffee (hard for Husband to fill the carafe :) meds for Husband and finally CRASH... at 9:00PM... an EARLY NIGHT...

PHEW.

Everyday is just a little better for him and SOOOOO thankful for how well he is DOING! SO proud of him! SO grateful for our village, the rides, the meals that were brought, the babysitters that come at lunch time to break up his VERY long day...very very GRATEFUL
