Tales From The Past Week

I finally got my oxygen squared away. I think Kent trying to eat that poor delivery guy was the thing that did the trick. We finally got him to realize that a person on oxygen without any oxygen can get pretty angry, guess what the next step is? I just about found this out last night when we went up to the Spagetti Factory at Trolley Square last night. Brooke had phoned and they were having a dinner for Aspen, our 5 year old granddaughter, well neither one of us had been to Trolley Square for years so we didn't even know where the Spagetti Factory is located. We parked in the lower parking lot and the elevator was out of service so I had to walk up one set of stairs and when I realized that I would have to walk up another set to get there I just couldn't do it. Brooke and Matt came in just about that time so she said she would go and try to round up a wheel chair which she did and I appreciated her more at that time than anyone could know. We had a nice dinner and everything went well.


I got a permanent on Thursday of this week which I was badly in need of so sitting there for 2 hours was a little tiring. On Wednesday I had two cleaning ladies come in and clean my house which I was so thankful for. I will have them come in once a month and do the same things, keeping my house liveable but not having to do it myself or depend on Kent to do it. It is too hard for both of us to clean in addition to doing laundry and dishes and preparing something to eat every day. I don't call it cooking because it really isn't cooking, it is just opening packages or cans or adding hot water to something. The microwave and I have become very good friends lately. We are gooing over to Charlie and Sandys for Corned Beef and Cabbage in a litttle while so guess I better go get ready.

THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY

Another Month gone by. My how the months are flying around so darn fast. It seems like I just get one blog written and a whole month goes by. Well this is just a way to get me out of here before I will want to go. I would love to hang around forever but it is not to be. Lets get out of the "Pity Party" mood and on to something more interesting. I really seem to be doing much better than I have for the last several months at least I haven't broken any more vertabrae in the last 2 months so that is something to be thankful for.
We went to St. George last weekend for Kyle's farewell, and it was almost scary. We had called our Lincare provider to have a concentrator and 4 tanks available at the Motel we would be staying in and when we arrived down there the concentrator was there but no tanks. so I would be fine as long as I was at the Motel but going anywhere else was out of the question. Kent called the number there and even went over to the place Lincare was located and found no one there, but he did find a National number on the door so he came back and called that and to make a long story short we got some tanks from the guy that was in church teaching a class. It was a good thing too because we had some car problems on the way home just before we got to Nephi and we were stuck there for about an hour,when we got home we took our car into our mechanic and $128.00 later found it wasn't too serious. It was a good thing Charlie and Sandy were with us to help.
Kent just came home from church and told me we have a new Relief Society Presidency. Surprise, surprise, I didn't see that coming.
This isn't much but I hope to have more later.
