My wife is back in hospital

Blackback Gull, You were very fortunate to have a friend like that. I did have when Garland was still around.

Derick,Blackback Gull,
One thing I never mentioned is I have my own health issues. One is my teeth. All but 5 are loose and it's difficult to eat and I was trying to find a dentist with not much luck, plus I only taste food while eating then right after I have this horrid bitter taste.

The other is after I eat most of the time I see either slimy blood or a rust color and once in a while as few small solid things. That has been going on for a bit over a year and getting worse. I see right after my belly is bloated by morning it goes back down.

Out of fear anything should happen to me I bought a key lock box. Since she can't really walk down the stairs without help I did this so at least an EMT can get in all she has to do is give them the code.

Some days she does better than others but she fell three times since she has been home and it's difficult to get her up, good thing is she has not broken anything yet I do worry.

I have no idea how to get through this. Even dealing with the cat litter, she tracks this crap all over the floor no matter how many times I sweep it up it's back again to step on , thought of getting an auto matic one but they cost over $600 so forget that.

I can't leave her alone so how am I to get myself checked out and she worries about me.

Let the old man in song playing in the back ground. I try to be positive but it gets more difficult.

One of my main concerns, well there are so many how do I choose. Is that many times in the last 6 days she answers a question with a question as if she can't quite think clearly. I have no idea if it's the meds they have her on or what. She is so confused then of course she can't just stop taking them or it can become worse heath wise. Many of the meds state not to just quit cold or there can be side affects.

I'm no DR and I can't get a clear answer from anyone in this chain of professionals , so called.

I was sitting up last night as I do most nights and one thing that often comes to mind is this insane obsession most people (at least where I live) have with their cell phones. I see them walking with them walking their dog on one, in any store on them, driving on them. It's against the law to drive using one but I see plenty of people who do. If I even dare to look at the TV and see a commercial , most all of them are using a cell phone.

Now new cars even have a computer on the dash board. I have no idea how these things work , I saw some while riding with my wife to Dr appointments , some had a map. I see them on commercials to pizza.

If they can be used while driving in that manner then they are as bad as a cell phone.

We have come a long way in the wrong direction. I would not even own one and didn't until all the phone booths were removed and all the emergency call box's on freeways were removed. We got 2 the first time because our home phone lines were always down and took weeks to fix. It was our only way to call anyone. Once the landline was working the cell phones were turned off.

We didn't have any hot water for a week so shaving or anything else was put on hold. Judy decided to made a frozen Pizza. She turned the broiler on and there was one of those sticky mouse traps the fellow who the land lard hired to rid us of this mouse and I could not imagine why there was so much smoke then black soot everywhere so I spent two days trying to clean that mess up and all with no hot water. We had 2 fans and the window A/C running , that sure helped move the soot everywhere plus the back door was open. And the kitchen was so hot.

She still forgets things and gets angry when I say it was yesterday not today.

I tried to shave but could not get through it so I used this electric razor I got her used the trimmer part to try to get through most of it then the battery needed to be charged. So I used the old double edge German razor I have and ended up with a few gashes. I can't see without my glasses to shave and even them with them on it's difficult so I ordered a unit off Amazon that should do just to trim it down if I put it off so I can use another less dangerous 5 blade razor I have from Harry's.plus with the trimmer I can get the side burns and nose better. Was no high dollar model bu good company none the less.

The up side is she is not bloated retaining water. I got rid of cable TV and got another Roku box for less than $35 and added Hulu and now we get just about everything with no ad's for $14.99 per month , already had Netflix and Prime. Saved $190 per month. Should have done this yeas ago. All I kept was the Spectrum WIFI required to stream on the smart TV and the not smart TV and it works perfect. I also cleaned both TV's to get rid of all the dust that seems to always gather on the screens and  back and sides and the cat hair . Good thing the sot didn't get to those. I wanted them clean for the new streaming service and I usually clean them once a month but it's not foremost in my mind considering health issues here. 

I may have found a dentist who will offer me free consult for an hour to access what I need. Seemed nice and not far from me. I still don't know what is wrong with my intestines . Then since I have dermatitis my ears get flakes and itch and this blocks the ear wax in, so like a fool at night stuck a finger in my right ear and plugged it up , found 2 year old ear wax drops at 3 am and finally got it opened up. I try not to dig in them but the itch is unbearable.

I could have lived without this last week. They replaced the hot water tank on the 9th but we had a week of no hot water. I even had to clean the A/C and both fans of soot. I am to old for this.

I went to this clinic last week to find out why I have his digestion issue. Turns out here is a blockage in the form of a tumor he said I need go into the hospital to have all these tests down to find out what is wrong. He didn't like the fact that I weigh 136 pounds and how my stomach swelled just after eating a small bowl of cheerios. That told him there is a blockage plus how the stool looks he said like digested blood.

I have no idea what this will end up to be.
