Brrrr! It sure has been cold the last two mornings! Down in the single digits this morning. No more snow has fallen since the other night. The fox treats were all gone this morning so I'm hoping they were down to get them and some other animal isn't eating them. I will be happy when I can spot one of the foxes.
I am having a hard time finding any pharmacy around here that carries my Colostomy supplies. Still looking. It's a good thing I was given some by the doctor's office and the hospital.
I'm feeling real good. The nurse from Home Care called early this morning and said she would be here this evening between 5 and 6 pm. I don't really think I'm going to need them any more but I'll let them hang on for the next four weeks in case I need more gauze pads etc. They don't supply the other stuff.
I love watching the birds outside. There are a lot of them. Lots of BlueJays and Cardinals. They always look extra pretty in the winter. But I do feel sorry for them in this cold weather.
I'll be back later.
Had a nice visit with my cousin, Gloria yesterday. She came alone. I told her she could bring Mary (Her Mother) next time. I can only handle one or two visitors at a time right now.
Update: 3:30 PM
I got Lennox Pharmacy in Ilion to order my Stoma supplies and they will deliver them also for now. Later on I'll be able to pick them up myself. My sister, Jane was going out today so she came over and got my prescriptions and Medicare card to take to Lennox's. She didn't come in because she's been sneezing and thinks she might be coming down with a cold or maybe it's allergies. She's not sure so I met her at the door and just handed her the stuff.
I got a call from the Convatec Company. They are the ones who make all the colostomy supplies. They have a lot of nurses on hand to talk to you whenever you have a question and they also send you sample supplies so you can try different bags etc. to see what fits best. She was very nice and is sending me a lot of stuff. I think that's great! Now I'll have more stuff for quite a while. She is the one that sent me the travel bag right after I got out of the hospital, with all kinds of stuff in it, including a DVD to watch.
It's been another good day so far. Just have to see that Home Care nurse between 5 and 6 pm and then I'll be all set.
The girl who does some of the maintenance here at the building came in and put my water jug on for me. They weigh 27 lbs. and I don't dare try to lift those yet. She loves animals and we were talking about my turtle, Jasper. She is going to think about taking him when I can't handle things any more. I'd let her take him because she loves all kinds of critters like I do and she lives in the country. She doesn't have any kids. I'd feel good about Jasper going with her.
It clouded over this afternoon but did get up into the 20's and there are a few snowflakes falling right now. But it's supposed to be a dry day tomorrow with rain, sleet and snow coming in for Sunday into Monday. The warmest day will be tomorrow and Sunday I think. So if I need anything I'll go out those two days if the snow has melted off my car. I did forget to buy some Butternut squash and an onion.
Have a good evening.
Update: 6:30 PM
The Home Care nurse came just before 6:00. I told her that I was doing so well that I didn't think I needed them to come here any more and she agreed. So I dismissed them. They are needed by worse people. And I'm not home bound any more now that I can drive. And because I am healing so fast and feeling so good. I'm glad that I won't have anyone invading my space.
Now I can relax and have a cup of tea! Watch some TV and keep a watch out for a fox.
:)
