My first full week

Yep, this is where I live now. Been here a whole week and I like it a lot. So far, not a lot in the way of excitement, but there were 3 police cars out in front of the place today. My granddaughter (Jordan) and her boyfriend (Christian) came in as it was happening and said it appeared that someone from the next duplex was arrested. I had heard some shouting, but just figured it was a bunch of kids.

Sessions at wound care are still at 3 times a week, but my caregiver said today that I would probably be able to take a shower sometime next week, for the first time since this ordeal began some 6 weeks ago. That was very good news to me and the people around me I'm sure. :)

I still need to trade my old gas guzzler car for one more fuel efficient, but then I haven't been driving much lately anyway. I do hope to take my old wagon down to my brother-in-law (Jim) for him to scrap out for me soon so I can get some much needed money. He already did the same for my old pickup truck and that money will come in handy as well. Jim has been very helpful in this matter and I really do appreciate that.

Progress on clearing out the garage in preparation for getting my old Buick here is slow, but I can always just bring in boxes and go through them inside rather than doing them one at a time out in the garage. I still haven't found my can opener, so I have not gotten to enjoy any of the chili I bought last week. That is now a priority as cooler weather has shown it's ugly face.

If all goes well I should be completely done with wound care sometime in the next 2 weeks. That will be a good thing, but not so much because I don't like the people there, but rather it's just a PITA having to get up and go 3 times a week.  Plus not being able to take a shower is a real bummer!
