Thanks. My youngest daughter is home from the summer from college and it has been so great to have her around in the evenings. I know what you mean. I will miss her when she goes back, but we will keep in touch with FaceTime, etc.
My eye is finally better, what a relief. My neighbors were power washing their house during the windstorm and I think it was a piece of stucco.
The aide I have on Thursdays is working out, although she will be on vacation for three weeks soon, about the time my daughter goes back to school. I was able to get so much done in those few hours, groceries, washed the car, went to dr., even bought a new pair of more comfortable cushiony shoes to wear around the house everyday. What a difference, It reminds me of when I was working my way through college as a waitress and was on my feet all the time, wish I had thought of it before now. I thought my shoes and slippers were comfortable but I would have never waited tables wearing them.
I showed my husband how to do the text to speech application on his computer, his speech is getting worse, and he picked it up pretty quickly. Now I am trying to figure out some kind of bell or call button he can hit with his foot when he wakes up as sometimes I get up in the middle of the night and go out to the couch, which isn't far, but I drop off around dawn and so far have been awake when he wakes up, but worry that exhaustion may win,
