01:35PM -- Larry slept in again this morning, not getting up until about 10:30 or 11-ish. He woke up with nausea, a little pain, and heartburn. I gave him a dissolving nausea pill, which I will need to get refilled as soon as I can touch base with his hospice nurse. He wanted a 2-egg sandwich, a chocolate Ensure, and a cup of coffee for breakfast. He ate the sandwich, drank half the Ensure and maybe took two sips of his coffee. After he took his regular pills plus the pill for his heartburn, he laid back down and is now sleeping.
The social worker at dialysis - Georgia - is working on getting us the tickets plus parking for the concert in Charlottesville with Brooks-n-Dunn and ZZ Top. She said that there is a fund that may possibly pay for all of it for us. That would be nice. No guarantees though. So, between her and my aunt, maybe...just maybe he'll get there...Lord providing, of course.
The hospice clergy called and wants to drop by, but neither of us are up to it today.
I've been watering my yard today with the sprinkler. It's so dry here and the grass is just dry and brown. Most of the sprinkler is aimed at my plants and flowers though. They didn't do as well this year either and I've lost a few.
I received a letter from the State of Virginia today informing me that because of budget funds not being what they have in past years, they can not award the Caregiver Grants this year. :::sigh::: Oh well...it is a grant and I have gotten them over the past three years. It's always been such a nice boon to our income, giving me extra dollars to buy something special for us, to take a mini-vacation, or to pay on bills. Maybe I'll get one next year since that will be for this year anyway. (Kinda like filing taxes.)
Well, it's 1:45PM and he just woke up due to an attack of diarrhea. Taking care of that. He said he was sleeping so well, too. I'll try to do another post later.
