House Work

Wow, for the first time, we have two projects  getting ready to go at the same time.  The steps off the deck are GONE:

There used to be steps....

I wonder what the original steps were resting on.

There is always something ~ this house is 11 years old ~ I guess the deck was holding up the stairs.  Hmmm.

And, for the front door:

Two minor steps, but no railing.  I wonder if that is to code?  Anyway, Mom has great difficulty getting up the steps, so I called Artistic Ironworks and they came out the SAME DAY!!! So they are going to put in a wrought iron railing on both sides.  It will be very helpful.

So, I will take pictures so you can see the jobs as they go along.

On the Mom front, she told me she had a sore throat and that she had to see a doctor today. Never mind she had just seen her primary doctor two days ago!  I told Amy that I was going to take her to the Emergency Room and Amy said "No, go to Urgent Care".  Genius.

I made an appointment and got Mom to Urgent Care.  Don't forget, she goes to the Cardiologist tomorrow.  Anyway, she saw a Doctor who cultured her throat (which came back negative), told her jokes and give her pills, which totally made her day!  She asked him if he practised anywhere else and thank goodness he said No, that he only worked for Urgent Care.  (She wanted him to be her Primary.)

He gave her a dose of Prednisone right then and gave me a prescription for it in case her throat still bothered her tomorrow.  He also gave her a prescription for Zithromax ~ which I don't want to give her because she is allergic to everything and he knows that.  But, Mom does love the pills.

And, she told the nurses and doctor that I am the worst person she knows.  Hmmm.  I expect Social Services will come and knock on our door one day.

We will see how she does tomorrow.

Love, Leslie
