Day 39
Even travelers to exotic places like Great Falls, MT have to do mundane tasks like balancing check books and credit card accounts. I spent some time this morning on this kind of financial stuff.
I went to see Glenna at mid morning. She was dressed and had been to occupational therapy. While I was there a therapist came for her for physical therapy. I left, I’m not sure if my presence helps or hinders the sessions.
I went out and did four geocaches. I dropped travel bugs at each one of them. I also went back to a geocache I found yesterday and dropped a travel bug. I had eight of them that I was saving for the trip to Canada and Alaska. I found a couple of cachesthat I had tried earlier in the week. They were much easier with the wind keeping the mosquitoes away. Three of the caches I found were among the cleverest I have ever done, a lot o fork went into the design and placement..
We visited Glenna during supper, she ate very little. The CNA helped her to the bathroom and back to bed. Later Glenna was complaining of pain. They had put a patch on her to deliver pain medication instead of her having to ask for the medicine. They may need a stronger patch. We left her at about 7:45; she has three hours of therapy tomorrow.
After leaving the rehab unit we went to some other buffaloes on display in the area to take pictures. You will see them later. We also stopped to take a picture of the welcome to Great Falls sign near the RV Park.
I have been describing our time in Great Falls in chronological order, but I need to include news from Las Vegas out of time. I believe I included the information on Neva’s operation in yesterday’s blog. She had an operation that involved three incisions to remove infection that spread from her ice pick puncture. Gerri’s brothers and their wives and Neva’s grandchildren are pitching in to help her out. They are taking care of her car and other chores around her house while she is hospitalized. Chris and Cassie are taking care of her yard and Jeff is on call as needed. Gerri talked to her Mom several times today. She will be in the hospital at least until Tuesday and possibly Wednesday. Hollis will be helping her out until he goes on a business trip. Tyne will be home on Thursday and of course she will pitch in until she has to fly again. Neva spoke to a case manager today and a wound specialist will come to her home. That will save her having to be taken to a clinic or doing the dressing changes herself. Hopefully therapist will also be arranged to come to her, she can’t drive until the hand gets better and she is off the pain meds.
So that you know who these people are; Hollis is Gerri’s brother, Tyne is Gerri’s sister, Roger is Gerri’s brother, Chris is Tyne’s son and Cassie is his wife, Jeff is Hollis’ son. You may see other names in future blogs. I’ll try to identify them as the names come up. Getting a head start; Wendy is Hollis’ wife, Roger is Gerri’s brother and his wife is Michelle. They and other grandkids will be helping as needed.
Please continue your prayers for both Glenna and Neva’s speedy recovery.
