Update

Dad is still in the hospital but he will be coming home tomorrow afternoon! He made significant progress the past couple days. The doctors have been working on the correct medication balance, hence the several-day stay.

Lew and I visited him this afternoon. A doctor came in and talked with us about the discharge time. He said he could have Dad out of there by 9am, to which Dad replied he wanted to leave after he gets his lunch! Apparently he has been enjoying the food there and getting ice cream with every meal. He wants his ice cream!

A Plethora of Updates

Happy Independence Day, U.S.A.!  

Dad didn't write a post yesterday because he has been in the hospital since Wednesday.  Fluid in both lungs.  Drained the left one, and medication is taking care of the right one.  Not sure when he will be home, but it will probably be after the weekend.

Oh, deer!  I saw a deer crossing Route 1 on my way home from work Wednesday. Cars slowed down so she could cross safely.

Speaking of deer, we've seen a mama deer and her baby in our back yard a couple times over the past month.  They go running into the woods when they hear us open our door.  Not sure if they'll show up again.

I got a piece of mail on Monday that upset me greatly.  It was an invitation to a session about hearing aids!  I guess I've hit the magic age to get these mailings.  The invitation went in the trash.

Caitlin Clark has not played the last few games due to injury, but I've still watched the Indiana Fever basketball games.  Congratulations to them on winning the Commissioner's Cup on Tuesday!

Those of you who check out my reading lists know that I have read all of Agatha Christie's mystery novels.  Last night I subscribed to BritBox (via Amazon) so Lew and I can watch the made-for-TV series "Agatha Christie's Poirot."  There are 13 seasons and the shows were made for one-hour time slots.  Lots of fun ahead!

My workplace's fiscal year end was June 30th, and I've been asked to close the books by July 18th.  A busy couple weeks coming up!

I just started hearing fireworks outside.  Wish our town didn't allow them, but it's legal on a few days of the year.  Today is one of them, of course.  I sense we will have a couple frightened cats for several hours. Boom!

God Bless America!
