Care Taker Problems...

    Rick brought us some corn from his garden. Thank you!

  Debbie made another superb meal of ham, scalloped taters, watermelon and sliced cantaloupe and banana cake with frosting, marvelous!  Rosala is in Utah, family wedding.

  Went to my UFO group, cut out some borders and got advice on a rag quilt, shared some quilt magazines that Reta gave me. Thank you Reta.

   After four weeks of waiting, the slide board is finally here! Yeah! We will be trained how to use it at home next week. Yes, one step closer to more independence.

    Bruce stood up 15 times, yes I said 15, from his wheelchair at the parallel bar. His legs are getting stronger. He needs help getting started but then he can do it on his own.

  Our care taker neglected to call on Monday, so Duncan and I got Bruce ready, stretching, ranging and out of bed. She did not answer her text or phone call. Feeling frustrated. She said she wanted to go visit a friend in Idaho. So on Thursday she texts and says her car is broken and won't be home for a few days. I have very unkind feelings for her. In the mean time another care taker is doing double shifts with no time off. 

   I interviewed another gal but she can only help two days a week. She is on board. Will have to find someone else to replace the other days. In the meantime I have to be nice to this rude, inconsiderate, very unprofessional, low down skunk. Can't wait to hear from her. Trouble is we need her, she is very good when she is here, very knowledgeable, just not dependable. 

   Feeling dizzy, head stuffed up, cold. Am I under stress or what? Stayed home from church.

   Andrew left today, Sunday morning to fight a fire in Spokane, Wa. They think it will be a six day fire. He did not want to go. Fire fighting is not what it is cracked up to be according to him. We are encouraging him to finish the season. He did make a commitment. He stomped around the house getting ready and grumbling. When Bruce got home from church he gave Andrew a priesthood blessing of comfort and good health. They hugged afterward. I don't think they have hugged in awhile. 

  Andrew called tonight. Said they got there in Spokane at 5pm. Didn't work just set up camp. Might come home tomorrow, they don't know where they will put them or how they will use them. He will phone and let us know.
