The time seems to meander along, then all of a sudden, bam! Time to do something!
Tuesday the 16th we went to Walmart for supplies and then we took the doggies to the vet for their checkups. They were fine and got all their shots completed. The vet checked them for heart worms (negative) and suggested we start them on preventative - and so we did. Both dogs were a little sore after they we got home - so we helped them rest. Wednesday - the 17th we were up and around early, left for the OKC VA at 8:15 and arrived in their parking lot at 9:20. Steve had and EKG, and lab work. Next we met with the pre-op nurse and he got some X-rays. We settled in for a break at the cafeteria until it was time for his ultrasound of the thyroid. When that was done we returned home. Thursday we had haircuts and I got a color. Slow day. On Friday, April 19 Steve met with the Physical Therapy (PT) guy here in Perry and set up appointments. In addition we got the oil changed in the RV. Also we called Tri West about his back shots - the beginning of the saga. Steve spent some of Saturday working on the vent in the pickup. Later we drove to Pam & JC's for supper and a celebration of my niece, Paige's birthday (Early). We got home about 9 PM.
On Easter Sunday (4-21), we mowed the front and side yards (north of our fence). We also did laundry, changed the oil in the RV generator and Steve washed my car. The oil filter was almost impossible to get out - but Steve finally got it done. Steve also worked on our heater vent. Monday I went to then YMCA and Steve went to PT. Later we took our pickup to Stillwater for shocks and brakes. While we were there, I bought a new fitbit - a Charge 3 HR. Now I can tell if my heart is beating! We also had lunch at Red Lobster! Nice outing.
Tuesday, April 23, we went to Ponca City for my 6 month doctor appointment and to have labs drawn. He wanted me to have other tests: bone density, Colonoscopy - but I said let's do that in the fall when I return from Montana. We ate a nice lunch at Schlotzky's. We then detoured through Stillwater to get our pickup and later had supper with Linda & Hazel.
Wednesday was not much and Thursday I had Linda give me a permanent. I also spent two hours on the phone with Tri west, trying to get Steve's back injections arranged and got the run around! Friday brought another trip to Stillwater for a Walmart run and get a medical release signed at Stillwater VA Clinic. Then Steve's part for the pickup vent arrived. Saturday he spent most of the day working on installing the vent part. My friend, Kellie & her fella, Brad were here watching softball, so we took them to La Macarena for supper and had a great visit. Sunday, April 28 was cool so we sat around in the morning, then Steve was back at working on his pickup. He had a little asthma attack and rushed into the house. I got him the inhaler and made him rest. We sprayed weeds later and then had supper and TV. Monday was more routine: laundry, PT, YMCA, lunch. I tried to call about the back injections again - to no avail. Tuesday, April 30, again I called Tri West. No progress. We typed up a timeline of the process and just got frustrated. We had supper with the girls and then came home and watched TV.
