Wednesday

I finished dressing Kolby's bear today. I think he turned out rather well, and Beth liked him, Kolby's too small to care! I only made the clothes, I bought the bear!

We've had a couple of busy days. Yesterday, Larry had an appointment at the VA with Ortho. They keep checking on the progress of the open wound where the wound vac was, it's mostly closed up but he's to go back until it is completely closed and no longer seeping. We are both SO tired of dealing with dressing changes on that leg, I don't understand why--we've only been doing it since last August! His next appointment in ortho is May 12. While there we got a printout of his upcoming appointments and he goes back for xrays, bloodwork and a visit with the oncologist May 28. We'd been wondering about that. I have some questions I hope he can answer. Also hope those little buggers(tumors) don't show up on xrays! (They have to be 2cm to show so that would mean growth and more chemo.)

Watched Kolby for a while, he is so laid back! Aunt Tanya watched him and played with him while the window guy was here.

We contracted for replacement windows and sliding doors for the house. It's a big investment but should help save energy and be a selling point--they are Anderson windows. This is one of three things we really need to get done this year on the house. Each year we do a little more but the place is 40 years old and there's a lot to do.

I took Kelsey to the Vet, she doesn't have the cancer in her bladder like Charley, but some kind of infection, so she gets two antibiotics twice a day for 10 days then once each day for 10 days and goes back on the 13th.

All in all it was a good day!

The bear is rather handsome in his overalls. When Kolby's a bit older I think he'll like him a lot. I sometimes think that the most dififcult part of dealing with such a condition is managing all the tedious routines that come with it. Perservere.
