"If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians." A quote from Warren Buffet. To bad it doesn't work this way.
Today was just beautiful. The sun shone. It was in the mid 80s and not too humid. A really nice summer day to ALMOST end August. It is hard to believe that tomorrow is the end of August and that the Sheboygan County Fair is in full swing AND that school starts on Tuesday. When one is a Grandma and your grandchildren are all grown, one does not keep track of these things.
I slept until almost 6:30 and actually for once COULD have slept longer but felt that I should get up to take Chelsea out. Old ladies should not have to wait too long to go to the bathroom. She is really a wonder but I don't like to push the envelope.
It was a quiet day. I went to get corn this morning for supper. Jim and Michelle came over when they came home from their little trip to Chicago. They had a GREAT time at the Shedd Aquarium and other sites in the Windy City.
I called Jeff this afternoon because he had emailed well wishes the other day. They are fine. He and Kathy are going to visit Mom either tomorrow or Monday and he said they would drop off some fresh corn and beets for us. We LOVE the fresh veggies.
George called this afternoon, he and Betsy are visiting Shawn for the holiday. That will be a nice weekend and they are away from Gustave who may or may not send water and wind to Houston.
I went to Mass at 4PM. That was pleasant. A couple, Schoeders, were celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary and we all got to participate in the blessing. I like that. Special people should get mass blessings.
When I got home, I turned on the water for the corn and waited for Bobbie and Bill. Bobbie brought cupcakes and they were delicious. She found a cake mix online called Chocolate Bliss from Wellness Bakeries that has all natural ingredients, no artificial sweeteners and no refined sugars. It contains whole almond flour as its main ingredient. We won't have to worry about Dick's sugars shooting through the roof. She had to buy three mixes so gave me one to bake later. The corn gets sweeter every week too. We had corn and fresh tomatoes, one EVEN from one of my deck tomatoes.
It was a nice evening. Jim and Michelle come over for dessert too. So they could all share their vacation stories.
Dick had such a good time but he is really exhausted now. I hope he sleeps well tonight.
The next two days are even more quiet. I intend to do some writing and some crafts. I have that quilt hanging and a half finished crocheted penguin to put together.
Hope your Labor Day is blessed and enjoyable.
Love
Mary

Things have gone very well today. I slept until 6:15AM and Chelsea and I had a very pleasant walk. It was a bit over 60 degrees which is good walking weather. Chelsea is a bouncy young pup on these walks but she spends most of the rest of the day sleeping. I can see her getting weaker. Tonight she slept almost 30 minutes past her normal dinner time. A first.
We sure like our little girl.
Dick had a good day. We have had no more severe bleeding incidents. There were a few spots during the day but nothing to be concerned about. A Diane from the Visiting Nurses Association came this morning and checked Dick out. She even changed the dressing on his right foot after she checked it out. So I had a day of just making sure Dick was OK on getting to and from the bathroom and bed.
My only excitement was going to the drug store. That turned out to be easy. Dick had "tried" to order his diabetic testing strips and a med online but got cut off. SO we were resigned to going through fiery hoops and lots of time before we were able to get the strips etc. When I got there, I started to explain my problem to the pharmacist and he just smiled and said that the prescriptions were ready. Apparently it had registered. Than heavens. He knew my concern as Medicare and diabetic testing stuff CAN be a real bear. But we are all set anyway. I told the guy he made my day. Then I picked up CHESLEA's preseriptions and went to the Pig to get some groceries and stamps.
I arrived home just as a delivery truck from Rick's Florests was dropping off a beautiful plant. It is a gift from Nora and Leif to brighten our home and indeed it has. It is beautiful and is a plant, I believe called Mother in Law Tongue, that I have been able to get to survive. I hope so as it is much to pretty to die.
Have a nice Saturday.

Mary

A LONG day. I actually got to sleep until 5:15 this morning but it was still way to early. I was so sound asleep when Dick woke me. We left for the hospital at 6:45AM. Kate came with us. She says that someone told her once that she was a lucky charm and perhaps she is.
The surgery went well according to the doctor, the anesthesiologist and the nurses. Because of the numbness in his legs, they numbed his foot by doing shots in the five major nerves and then sedating him, but not putting him totally under which helped him not get nauseous. They sent us home at about noon. The foot is all wrapped up mummy fashion, so we have not seen what it looks like. Dr. Fehrman said that he is pretty sure that he has accomplished what he wanted to, he was able to incorporate enough skin and flesh to form a surgical scar, the hole is gone and now hopefully it will heal. I hope so. The nurses and all the staff were SO solicitous. We were treated with concern and kindness. We are lucky to have such a caring institution in Sheboygan.
I am actually now concerned about the other wound. It is still shallow but that blister that formed needs to be trimmed and Dr. Moreno is out of town. I keep cleaning it and putting on the medicine but really want it looked at.
Jim and Michelle had cleaned house while we were gone this morning and came over to check on Dick when we got home. I fixed some grilled cheese for us to snack on. Then everybody left and Dick laid down for a bit. His foot started bleeding through the bandage and I called the nurse. They said to keep wrapping it. So I did and that seems to have stopped it. Everything is supposed to stay on until Tuesday when we go to see Dr. Fehrman again. I am glad that the VNA nurse is coming tomorrow, as I will feel better if there is a professional to ask questions of. I am also running low on some supplies and they bring them.
I fixed lasagna for dinner. Tonight, Bart and Richard both called and Bobbie and Nora and Jeff and Kathy emailed. It is so nice to hear from people and to feel the prayers and love that are supporting us. This still a scary time but we feel better today than yesterday. I am exhausted and intend to take a hot bath to soak some of the aches out of my bones and then go to bed. I will miss some of the speeches but am just too tired to care.
We watched most of the Packer Game, though I fell asleep during part of that too. Not too impressive but they were playing second and third string most of the time and there were a couple of really exciting plays.
Take care. Tomorrow will be a day for quiet and healing.
Love
Mary

Hello at the end of this very, very long day.
We had to get up at 4:30AM so that we could get Dick to Sheboygan Memorial by 6:30AM for check in.
I just staggered out of bed and into the shower, then took Chelsea for he walk. IN THE DARK. Doesn't bother her but I am not thrilled with that scenario. We got out of here on time anyway. They checked him in at the front desk and the next hour was spent preparing him for the procedure. Everything was on time anyway. When you are the first or second there is less chance for delays because of complications. So He was back in the room by about 9:30AM or so. Then his "suffering" began. It is SO difficult for him to lie on his back and lie on his back he must - for four hours - which is just agony for him. Dr. Siddique had prescribed morphine and a tilted bed for him which helped immensely.
I HAD planned on zipping home to walk Chelsea at about noon, but Dr. Siddique had promised Dick that he would come up to talk to me about the results and it took much longer than we had anticipated for him to arrive. So, I started to worry and called Jim and Michelle, who, thank God, were between errands and went over to walk the poor little old lady dog. They also came over at about 4:30PM. and walked and fed her. This was so great because Chelsea, though naturally very happy to see us, was not frantic.
Anyway, Dr. Siddique said that everything went very well. An area between two stints had plugged and he opened it up. We are to call his nurse in about two months after he is healed from the surgery tomorrow and she will order another ultra sound so he can evaluate the need for more vein surgery. Sufficient unto the day. We will need to rest and Dick needs to heal.
So we finally got out of there at about 4:30PM and got home at about 5. We are exhausted.
I went grocery shopping and to get gas. I picked up a rotissary chicken for dinner. They are really good and SO tender. I will make a chicken salad and perhaps a casserole with the leftovers. A WHOLE chicken is several meals for us.
I really feel comforted. Several people have called to see how Dick did. It makes me feel not so alone. Tomorrow is the more major of the surgeries, but the shortest time in the hospital. We are being told he will be released around noon. My friend Kate is going to go with me and sit with me. I am SO glad.
All that is left tonight is to dress Dick's wounds and get a fresh sleeve and wrap on the right leg.
The Sheboygan County Fair has started and this weekend is also Harley's weekend. So the county is going to be really humming. We, however, will hole up in our little house and just watch Dick heal. Pray for us.
I will add a story that has been floating around the internet for a while. It reappeared this week and really IS funny.
Love Mary

It is getting closer and closer to two kind of icky days. Tomorrow Dick has another stint. He is not looking forward to that. And to top it off the past couple of days, the wound has been seeping every time he walks on it. I cannot get it tight enough to stop the bleeding. This has been very hard on both of us. I hope that tomorrow, they can get it to stop.
We have to be at the hospital at 6:30AM for an 8AM procedure with Dr. Siddique. We are both getting pretty discouraged.
Thursday we have to be there at 7:15AM for an 8:45AM surgery. He is an outpatient there too and they expect that we will have him home about 12PM. WOW! They take off a toe and send him home right away. I hope they give me LOTS of directions and stuff. I am sure glad that I asked Rachel to send someone on Friday. I am going to be quite insecure.
My friend, Kate Herman, called and asked if I wanted her to go with us on Thursday. Since she asked, I said yes. I am really kind of scared and it will be nice to have someone with me while Dick is in his surgery.
Today was otherwise, kind of quiet. I went to the store for the lottery tickets and to the bank and Walgreens. Then we took Dick to the Clinic for his pre surgery lab tests this afternoon. The rest of the day, I did some CWI stuff and made some detergent and moved stuff off of the deck because they are going to stain them.
Now I am very tired both physically and mentally. I will be so glad when all of this is over. I can't believe that they are sending Dick home without a toe in less than 6 hours total though.
It is going to be OK though. I have people praying for us all over this nation and I know that prayers are answered. There is a quote. "See how I have loved you. I have carved you in the palm of my hand."
Tomorrow night I hope things are happier.
Love
Mary

A full day. I got up shortly after 6AM and Chelsea and I went walking. We were not alone today. Several other walkers are taking advantage of this beautiful weather. It was in the low 50s and nice and clear.
When we got home, I made a few calls to health care providers. I left messages, BUT two of them got back to me before I left for bible study. I reached Rachel, our VNA nurse, and she will have a nurse come out on Friday, instead of tomorrow, as I think I really would like someone the day after Dick's surgery. He is an outpatient and will probably come home right away on Thursday. I reached the surgery department this afternoon and they will let us know tomorrow, what time he has to be there and what to expect.
Tomorrow, I am going to Sheboygan Clinic to attend a Diabetes Education program called Plentiful Produce, which will cue us in on using the produce that is pouring into our world at this time of year. Then I have to take Dick for lab tests.
At 9AM, I went to bible study. There were 8 of us. We said special prayers for our friend, Judy Hendrickson, who died yesterday and her husband Gary. They were both in choir with me. But my fondest memory of Judy is at the end of one of our Parish Picnics. We were standing at the food table, dishing the last of the bars and cookies out to kids, free, and we kind of leaned back and looked at all these healthy children and both of us marveled and thanked God for all of them, so beautiful, healthy and charming. A moment of joy, shared. God has a special place for Judy.
I visited Mom. She had two letters from Nora for me to read. The first was about their boat tour in Europe. They had such a great time. The other is telling about their tentative schedule to be in Wisconsin in mid September. Leif's fraternity is having a big reunion along with another Madison celebration. They will have three or four days in Sheboygan county also. I hope I can have them over for a meal. I love cooking for people. By then Dick will be feeling much better. God willing. Then Nora called this afternoon, what a joy. My brothers and sisters are really rallying around. It is so comforting to feel the support and love.
At four I went over to Kate's and we got on a CWI conference call. It was very productive. We had nine of the board members on the like which is a good majority. I will be the president next year, starting at the end of January. There is a general meeting on September 13, in Chicago. I told them that I would be unable to attend, because I can't leave Dick that soon, but they will hook me up on a conference call, so I can be a part of the meeting. I told them that I want my presidency to concentrate of starting new branches around the country and the world, if possible. I have been working on putting together the steps Plymouth, me and Kate, did to get the quite active branch in Sheboygan County going. I will finish it and send it to Maureen and she will add her ideas and the things that she has done. We can then get it in a format that we can share with people who want to start branches.
Than home for the evening. I grilled a stuffed hamburger for our dinner, served along with a fresh batch of my potato salad. Num Num.
Talked to Bret tonight too. Just needed to hear him say, "Don't worry,Mom. It will be OKAY."
A quote from a little booklet that I found on retreat. "Don't sing for anyone else, except maybe for God. Sing for YOURSELF. Sing for the delight in it. Hum your way from parking place to work. Hum on your coffee break or even as you work. Let yourself enjoy this expression of your soul." I learned this from my Mother. And I hum and sing all the time, I am sure to the annoyance of many.

A perfectly lovely Sunday. The only place I had to go was to Bobbie and Bill's to feed my baby kitties. Jim and Michelle rode along with me this afternoon. That made it a little easier. They seem glad to see me. Of course, I am feeding them and that is probably why. But I got to pet them and cuddle them for a bit.
The rest of the day was REALLY full. I washed several loads. We got a notice that they are going to power wash and stain the decks this week so they need to be empty or the doers will pass us by. I moved most of the plants to the front porch and will get the rest tomorrow.All that is left is the table and chairs, the fryer and two BIG plants. I can pretty much put those things on a plastic sheet in the bedroom.
I had an excess of several spring vegetables too. So I froze some tomatoes, zucchini and beans. Thin I boiled eggs and potatoes for a potato salad for tomorrow.
Michelle called early this afternoon offering to bring dinner over tonight. She made a chicken, brocolli, cheese casserole. It was truly delicious.
And that was the day.
Another week started. Wednesday and Thursday are the BIG medical days for Dick. Please keep us in your prayers.
Love.
