Discharged
After Amanda was feeling better, I went to let Tank out and grab a heavier snack to hold us over till dinner. We have been watching Grey’s and are to the covid era. We’d watched a few episodes today. Amanda’s immunocompromised state has us using covid protocols now, too. So when I left, after our…

Round 3
Tank must have needed to go this morning because he wouldn’t leave me alone while I got ready, peering at me through the cracked bathroom door. He is doing much better now. The many prayers and poops have helped for sure! The ring camera was set up, so I watched him as I left. He…

A Long Wait
After lunch, Amanda had to spill the beans. She’d planned a little something for my birthday. Our heart friends that live close by were bringing a cake for my birthday. Amanda had planned for them to have a hospital dinner date with us. They ended up being sick, though. That didn’t stop them from delivering…

A Good Poop and Prayers
One of the main reasons I stayed last night was Tank barking. Daytime is much better; people are gone for testing, eating, and not even checked in. Nighttime will make sleeping people mad! I decided when I woke up that I was going to see Amanda no matter how Tank acted. I planned to get…

The Tank saga
Well, I haven’t quite made it to see Amanda yet. I’m beginning to wonder if bringing Tank was a bad idea. Before I left Tank, I showed him how to use the chair to get in the bed. He’s getting old, and we have a ramp for him at home. He wouldn’t quite use the…

Quick turnaround
Friday was a beauty day! Amanda got a hair cut and colored. She was a few weeks overdue since we were in the hospital for her last appointment. She loves to get her hair done and has been seeing her stylist for a long time. No need to explain how she needs her hair done,…

Adjustments
I know, I know, y’all have probably been wanting an update. We are home, but not for long; we head back to Houston on Sunday. We took it easy Wednesday morning, waiting for things to thaw out. Amanda needed to take it easy getting ready, as well. She asked me to move a chair to…

Weathering the storm
We woke to a winter wonderland this morning. Snow was falling, and we had been through the night. The Starbucks crew was on duty, but only for a limited time today. Unfortunately, the espresso machine, of all things, was down, so there was no espresso or steamed milk. I panicked about what to get. I’ll…

Big gun’s second bullet
I was tired when the alarm went off this morning. About an hour before my alarm went off, Amanda had texted me what room she was in. It took all night, nearly 12 hours, to get a room on the floor. It’s good that she got a bed because that would have been a long…

Back to Houston
Amanda was up a little earlier than me this morning. Even though she denies it, she overdid it. She was busy getting things ready to leave, and it took a while to get ready without much of a break in between. Once I was up and going, I was busy doing dishes and taking the…
