It is evening in Wisconsin now and I do not want to go far without sharing my thoughts and doings of the day or as silly as it might be my not doings of the day I will be sharing with you, lol. Anyway, today has been a fair, good day for me all day. I lazed in bed all day after getting my hair washed for the week and my first bath of the day—sponge bath that Bob is! I got on some clean pajamas and underwear on, got back into bed and had my breakfast while Deb was still here. I love my fried egg sandwiches and Famous Dave’s dill pickles for breakfast with a ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing and mustard to dip my sandwich in while eating it. Yummy for the acorn tummy. Now before you say, ‘yuck to my yum’, please try it sometime, ok? My friend Julie M told me about her grandson saying yuck to something his mom was eating and told her son not to say yuck to her yum without trying it. I always remind Jackie of this phrase and who taught me the phrase. Way to go, Jules! I love you. 💕 … Deb left before 12 noon to get some things done at home for the early afternoon and come back around my dinner time to give me my supper. She came at 4:30 pm. What did I have for supper? I had some shaved chicken with mustard and ranch dressing to dip it in, a sweet potato, and a couple of bites of acorn squash with pumpkin pie with whipped cream for dessert. Even though I have had a kidney disease, I still have a bite or two of food I love to eat and have to be careful of eating. Those foods are baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, banana, and other foods that are high of potassium and phosphorus components in them. In 2022may be , a drawn lab came back that I had potassium poisoning after eating a serving of breakfast potatoes one morning while in the hospital. The dialysis nurse had to bring up the dialysis machine and give me 12 hours of dialysis from noon to midnight or shortly afterwards. The doctors and nurses who handled the situation had handled it so badly that they scared the crap out of me unnecessarily because th brought up my anxiety to the point of trusting MercyHealth in my medical care was damaged. I understand that too much potassium can triggered a heart attack or heart problems, but the damn floor already had me hooked up to a damn heart monitor that drove me nuts in the first place. I guess hospital food may be healthier now, but when it comes to restrictions, there is not a lot of substitutes for my favorite food. If there is so much potassium in their breakfast potatoes, why serve them. I can have white jasmine rice in place of potatoes while in the hospital and be satisfied during meals. I love my food!
Before getting further off track of my thoughts of the day, I need to get back to my thoughts. Now dimmer has been eaten, and Deb has left for the night and will be back around 8:30 — 8:45 AM to get me ready and out the door for my second treatment of the week on Tuesday because of the Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year celebrations and clinics will be closed. Even Deb reminded mr that her son does not have school Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week. When I was in high school, we had school on Wednesday, but not on Thursday and Friday during Thanksgiving Day. I guess a lot has changed since the late 80’s and early 90’s when my Class of ‘89’ was in school. Wow! Anyway, it was a fair, good, lazy day for me.
I have decided to watch the show Midsomer Murders starring Neil Dudgeon as John Barnaby who is supposed to be Tom Barnaby’s cousin once or twice removed. I love this English show in this make-believe town of Causton in England. The story is of a detective dealing with murders in villages in England on a regular basis, and the author has penned the titles of the first few books of Tom Barnaby Mysteries in a fictional village called Causton. Known villages were used as the Midsomer murders came about. I love stories like this! Caroline Graham is the author of her books, and I have read them all but The Hollow Man. Anyway, it has been a lazy day all day since it was one of those layback days today. I know I am rambling on and I will stop now.
