Our situation has not changed. Stella is 95. She fell and broke her leg early May 2013. Her activity has been reduced. We remodeled her bathroom and put in a 42 inch wide open doorway to make it easier for her to get to her new toilet. We put in new floor covering in the bathroom and carpet in the bedroom. We got her an electric lift-chair/recliner. We installed a walk-in tub with jacuzzi jets and air jets. We had natural gas run to her house and installed an on-demand water heater. We also got her a new vanity for the bathroom. We asked the young men in the ward to take out her old Craftmatic bed to make room for her new hospital bed. Recently, we got her a new 11 inch thick foam mattress because she was complaining of the original hospital bed mattress. Stella is nearly deaf but we keep her in loud earphones so she can hear television. We have a hearing device that uses headphones when company comes. She tires quickly and cannot see very well. She gets around the house OK with her walker. She only goes out when she has to see a doctor or denturist.Joanna is still working for Minnesota Neurovascular but turns 66 in March and will start getting her Social Security check. Joanna's health has not been good. She has developed Atrial Fibrillation and is taking prescription medication. Joanna has been making some awesome projects with her sewing machine.
I am just getting older. Joanna sets up my medications. I don't even know what I am taking.
We got a new pup. Scooter is almost a year old. He is a minpin. He sleeps with me.
