I'm back after my weekend trip to help my BFF. She is doing very well, moving around (with a walker) and the incision is healing great. She is only taking ibuprofen for pain, and seems pretty comfortable.
She needed loose pants -- she is basically a jeans-wearer, and didn't have anything suitable for lounging around in comfort -- nor anything for the physical therapy that will follow. So I made several trips to Walmart, bringing her armloads of pants and returning the rejects. She ended up with two pairs of "dazzle pants" (athletic men's shorts), two Danskin capris, and two pairs of lightweight sweatpants. She likes the sweatpants so much I promised to look in at my Walmart to see if there are any more in her size.
I also did some grocery shopping and cooking for her. She basically spent $100 and insisted on giving me a $10 tip, since I'm such a good deal shopper!
My own costs for the weekend were: $9 for parking downtown, $18 for gas, $9 for road food, and $9 for two cute onesies I found at Walmart for my soon-to-arrive grandson. Wow, that's weird, isn't it? All those 9's and an 18, which is a multiple of nine! I also gave $1 to a homeless man who directed me to the parking lot.
I picked up SIL at Union Station without incident, and we had a nice getting-to-know-you visit on the way down.
Came home through heavy traffic today, tired but satisfied. I'm going back on Sunday and will stay till Tuesday. After that she should be pretty stable on her own.
Ya gotta take care of BFF's, you know!
Home Again
