Plenty Of Thanks To Go Around

 Suffice to say, I've got a whole lot of thanking going on. 

Beginning yesterday, when the nurse at the opthamologist's office walked me out to my car and put my walker in the back for me (before bringing Mark out after his surgery) until today, when my grandson (Dylan) and great-granddaughter (Lily) came over to help feed the goats, chickens and stray mama because I was stressing about doing it with hubby being basically blind, and not supposed to be upright, right now. 

Inbetween, my great-granddaughter (Samantha) helped me with the 2 girls here with feeding and watering, washing off a crate tray, and helping get the crate in from outside, since we have some serious weather coming in and their outdoor pen bed area tends to get soaked, despite tarps. So they are indoors, crated, bedded down, fed and happy right now.

I also have to thank my hubby for being patient with me. I have 2 speeds, slow, and "is she even moving?" so his CNA is def not speedy and is accompanied by grunts and groans of her own. At least I can put his eye drops in and the ointment along his stitches, he'd be poking his eye out trying! His coordination is def off at the mo. I'm also good for food, drinks, his meds and setting up his insulin shot at night (since he can't see to calibrate it), although I can't give him his shot, it gives me the willies. Itry, and as I often say, I can be very trying.

The worst of it is that it puts my heart rate up, all the back and forth, so I have to lie down to let it go back down, and the same with my BP. I don't even take it until I've lain down for 10-15 minutes, so that then, even if it's high, it's not high enough to spook me and raise it all the more. A girl's gotta do what a girls gotta do!

Now, about to let the dogs out, before the rain comes in, and then rest for a bit. I deserve it!
