When the alarm went off this morning I just turned over and went to sleep until 8. Then it was Minions and surfing for a little while. I got up, did the pet stuff, started the wash, and had breakfast.
Then it was time to finish the present wrapping. I wrapped the presents for John and Melissa and put Mom's in a shipping box. We didn't have a shipping box big enough for their presents.
Then I did a little inventory of my optic purchases. It seems like I need one more and I'm done. I also decided to build a shelf in the safe to give me some more room.
Hooch called and I had a long talk with him. It covered Ellen's illness, Mom's condition, Tony, and his upcoming trip. It was nice to talk with him.
Ellen called once in the morning and we did several texts. The upshot was that there's definitely something wrong as she started bleeding again. The good news was that her hemocrit was going back up. There was no word from the surgeon's partner.
In between this I did a whole lot more surfing and some Minions. I also did my exercises.
About three I decided to leave to do some errands. I stopped by the post office, got the mail, and bought a box. There was a check in the mail, so I deposited it in the bank. I had planned on running Lucy, but it started raining while I was in the bank. I stopped at Costco for water and then went home. The drive home was through a really heavy rainstorm. The standing water on the roads was really dangerous.
While I was running about, Ellen called. The surgeon's partner had stopped by and did a real examination. Apparently everthing abot the stoma looks good. His belief is that it's an upper GI problem, which is out of his area of expertise. He's going to contact the gastroenterologist (Kumar) and have him look at Ellen. At least that's some progress, but I'm not sure what will happen this close to Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately when I was out I forgot to get the material for the safe shelf. I guess that's tomorrow's task.
When I got home it was time to feed the pets. After that I settled down to some real surfing for the rest of the evening.
