This was quite the day
Jackie had some surgery today. Nothing major, a quality of life issue for her that was fixable.
We had to be at the hospital at 7:15....and Dickows don't do early. I was up a little after 5:30 and quickly got shaved and dressed then helped her get ready so we could leave by 6:30. The hardest part was getting Corki out, she is not an early morning animal either.
We were done by 10 or so and the nurse was going over final instructions.
I joked that if I wasn't back in 15 minutes to get her, call Emily. No one laughed.
The "rooms" are really cubicles with privacy screens. As we were getting ready to go I heard a voice from behind one of the screens saying, "Is that Dickow?"
Turns out it was a friend from town who had a little surgery also. They thought the voice was familiar, but the Terry and Jackie the nurse said was the tip off. They are doing well also, but I should call tomorrow just to check.
Aside from that, pretty calm day. Emily came over to visit and ended up changing a dressing, and Emily and John came back about 8 to help get Jackie into bed. When Jackie gets physically tired, she just can't stand or move on her own. I am not strong enough to lift her, so help is frequently needed.
That's all the news I have......please keep her in your thoughts for a quick healing.
Stay safe. Stay healthy. Mask it or casket.
Peace and Love
