Amanda was up a couple of pounds this morning, but it didn’t seem to bother the team. She is likely right at her baseline now. The cardiologist is planning on discharging us tomorrow if everything holds. Her kidney levels decreased a bit, and they increased the newer diuretic, Torsemide, closer to what it was before.…

No matter how good my intentions to go to bed early are, I never make it! I have to take Tank out for a walk the minute I get there, and then I somehow always find something that needs to be done before I get to bed, and then I’m up well past midnight. Tank…

When it was time for Amanda’s second round of morning meds, she commented on the number of pills with the added oral diuretics. Fifteen, not counting the five rejection meds she takes at 5 am. The charge nurse was our nurse today. I’d planned on just skipping asking our nurse for a wheelchair to go…

Friday night, Amadna never got her evening dose of Bumex. The night nurse finally heard back from the doctors, but when she came in, Amanda was asleep and didn’t give it. In the grand scheme of things, it didn’t matter; by Saturday morning’s weight check, she had lost 3 pounds. It seemed we really were…

Well, my late night ER visit was a waste of time, except I found out I didn’t have strep, the flu, or covid. The doctor was no help. I explained my symptoms and how I was concerned about my immunocompromised wife. He said well, there are hundreds of viruses, it could be. When he came…

I was up late last night again even though I left early to get to bed sooner! I woke with a sore throat. This is common for me, sometimes I even get a sore throat after a sneezing fit. This one was more rough than usual, though. So, I walked to a Walgreens nearby to…

I am tired lately and haven’t even started going back and forth working out of San Antonio yet. I don’t have any time to rest. When I’m at the apartment in the afternoon, I’m working on getting things all situated, and the same goes for the nights when I get there. I have a shelving…

I was up late last night, I worked on a stand up bathroom shelf organizer with drawers till about 1:30 in the morning. It was Ikea still put together job. The instructions weren’t even in different languages; there were just pictures. That was about two hours of my life I’ll never get back. I will…

I had yesterday’s post mostly written and then lost it. The perils of using my MacBook to write and then using my iPhone to take notes on the same document. I started retyping last night but gave up. Not much happened anyway, Tank did have a meet and greet with the dog sitter. She is…

I was up early this morning, too early. Plus with the time change, I’m not sure I got four hours of sleep. Tank and I went for a stroll this morning down the side road next to our apartment. There aren’t any sidewalks but a large swath of grass, and I don’t think we even…
