Shakey OCD

Whole Lotta Shakin'

Daily Pill Schedule

Pam has had more bouts of vomiting this week, at times it is making it difficult for her to eat and to keep her pills down.  So, we are supplementing her diet with Boost Plus and she is taking her pills one or two at a time and letting her stomach settle in between.  Taking little breaks between taking a handful of pills 8 times a day takes some time. Add in checking her blood sugar and temp, insulin injections, eating or trying to eat, this is a full time job.

The combination of all of the medication makes her very shaky.  One of her medications is liquid and taken with a teaspoon, but she is so shaky that Bonnie or I have to give it to her, or she will spill it.

No OCD for Me

Who Says I am Anal?

On Saturday mornings I usually spend a couple of hours messing around by writing in this blog, putting off any useful activity, and letting Pam sleep a bit.


Today, I added some countdowns to my Google homepage, so I know that there are approximately 65 days left in the 100 days since hospitalization without consulting a calendar. Very useful.

But that isn't quite compulsive enough for me, so I added a second gadget that counts down to the second. Much better to know that there are 64 days, 16 hours, 12 Minutes, 49 seconds left in the 100 days. 65 days seems very inexact by comparison.

It is also very useful to always know the current weather conditions in San Diego.  For some reason.  I don't really know why.  Maybe I have a problem.

Austin Sighting

Out for a Stroll
It was a nice day, but Pam has to bundle up
Anything under 75 degrees is cold to her

Earlier this week, the stars aligned and Austin got over his cold, so Alyssa was able to bring him over and spell Bonnie for a day. Naturally, Pam was in heaven. She had ordered a book and the See and Say Toy... "The Cow Says Moooooo". I was told it didn't make him cry. Austin was able to scoot around our courtyard in his little walker.

Highlight of the week.
