Hello Nice People,

     March 5th, and we're having a snow day.  Schools are closed, offices are closed.  Its one of those days.  Predictions say 6 to 8 inches.  I'll be surprised to see 3, but that means it will be gone sooner.  Its a clam chowder day.  Sal makes the clam chowder, so that lets me off the hook.  I just look at him with kind of glazed eyes, and he thinks I dont know how to make it.  Thats the method behind my madness. 
      Ben is having issues with retaining water in his legs and feet.  Its not good at all.  I never saw feet so swollen, they actually look like balloons.  Monster feet is a good description.
I think its good that I am at the nursing home so much, a couple times a week, or more.  It kind of keeps them on their toes.  I know they are aware of the problem, but they were not being aggressive in the treatment.  He is so stubborn about listening and he doesnt understand the importance of keeping his feet up.  Since I brought it to their attention,  they have increased his diuretic meds and are battling him harder to keep his feet up.

Getting The Train Back On the Track

Hello, nice people

so much has changed on blogging.  I can't seem to get a handle on getting this train back on the track.  I will figure it out, after all, I figured it ouot the first time.

Today is March 1, 2015.  Its been a COLD winter!  Everyone is complaining about the snow.  Actually, we haven't had that much.  Its been about 5 small storms, thats all.  But it never goes away because of the low temps, that makes it seem like it is endless.

This is just a short post to get back into blogging.

Good night.
