Ah, sorry. ? ?I knew you ran the Alzheimer¡¯s and Dementia Unit and thought it was in the main hospital. ? My mistake. ? ? All clear to me now. ? Thanks, Donna. ? ??
Marc cannot hear and has a problem with his hearing. ? He has hearing aids but there¡¯s something wrong with one and he won¡¯t wear just one to help him hear. ? I told him one is better than none but he still won¡¯t do it. ? ? MEN can be so difficult. ?Marc is getting a lot worse. ? He has lost his wallet yet again. ? This is the second time. ? I think he¡¯ll find it eventually. ? Also, he lost the telephone¡. We have one handset missing and he can¡¯t find it either. ? He was talking on it yesterday. ? Frustrating. ? I have his Military ID and Medical Card but he had everything else. ? ?Not sure if we should cancel credit cards or what so I am going to check them and see if there are any charges I know we did not make. ? ?Drivers license is in that wallet, and just a couple of credit cards and his new VA card¡.GRRR. ? I told hm I will carry his wallet from now on (if he finds it). ? If he doesn¡¯t find it, it¡¯ll be the second time he has lost a wallet within just a few months. ??
Took Marc to get some blood work done at the VA this morning. ?Afterwards, we went and had breakfast and came home. ? Marc had misplaced his laptop and, of course, I found it right away. ? It was sitting on top of his printer. ?I swear his vision is not nearly as good as he thinks it is but they tell him he has Perfect Vision now. ? ?If so, why can¡¯t he see things??? ?I certainly don¡¯t understand this at all. ? ?He loses things and I usually find them. ? ?Hoping his wallet will appear soon.
After breakfast we came home and took a container of purses I am going to donate out of the back of the car and headed over to Lowe¡¯s. ? We got 8 bags of mulch for out front and 4 bags of planting soil as well. ? ?I brought home only 2 little flowers that I thought were pretty. ? They are Lemon Drop Calla Lilies and will be put out front. ? ?We need to go to another place that has flowers, shrubs and trees as we need to get another tree for the other side of the driveway and I want to look at flowers and think how I want to plant them. ? ?I am thinking of just using pots to plant flowers in and this way I won¡¯t have to worry about anything else. ? The pots will look nice wherever I decide to use them. Anyway, not headed out again and we might do some of the mulch later today or in the morning when it¡¯s a bit cooler. ? I also want to do the garage door. ?I have magnetic stick ons to put on. ? Hoping to make it more interesting than it is right now. ? It¡¯s just plain now.
Will have to get more dirt as well. ?And we really need fertilizer as well. ? Supposedly, we are coming into the ¡®rainy¡¯ season here but NO rain thus far. ? WE really need it as well are under a Fire Watch now. ? Everything is terribly dry.
Anyway, that¡¯s my day so far. ? Am going to do some laundry as well. ? ?Enough for now.
Marc just came to me and asked me to check the emails he got so he¡¯d know what to do with them (mostly delete). ?Always something. ? Better he does this though than mess thing up for us. ? ? ?He doesn¡¯t know how to use the browser anymore. ? ?His mind is really going.
Hugs & Smiles,

Both my tubal ligation and my gastric bypass?was done via laparoscopy ....just a couple bandaids
I had more sutures when I had my teeth removed <happy.gif> ? <happy.gif> ?
I didn't work at a hospital.? I worked at an extended care facility on a locked Alzheimers/dementia unit.
I helped developed the unit.
It was a 40 bed?unit that I ran
I took extra courses after college to become a certified geriatric nurse specializing in Alzheimers and dementia.

I did not have the weight loss surgery at our local hospital.....
They didn't do them there then.
Had it done at a bigger hospital about 30 min from here.
Same main medical facility (Lahey)......just a different hospital.

Had my knee done here locally.? I live 2 minutes from our local hospital....literally right down the bottom of the hill and around the corner <happy.gif> ?

Robotic surgery is gaining popularity, and it seems like a great option for surgery. Surgeons are still there, but I think robots are better because they¡¯re super steady and precise. The surgeon just guides them.
By the way, did they use robotic surgery at the hospital you worked at, Donna? Was that where you had your bypass?
I had my gallbladder and hiatal surgery done through laparoscopic?surgery. I have a bunch of small cuts all over my tummy now, including one in my belly button.

Surgery was around noon and he was in recovery till 5 ish and when I called they were just settling him in his room. I am going there for 9 ish and expect he will be send home unless something came up over night.
This is his 2nd time and the doctor said at his age they may as well do it again so he can enjoy the results from it for his last few years.....lol?
