It's been a crazy, busy week and I'm just now recovering. Tuesday night we went to the Halloween party at Dilly's and Deke won best costume. He was a chunky monkey. Wednesday, we went to the ALS clinic so that I could have my blood sucked (drawn) to test my liver function. Hopefully the results will be OK, so that I can increase my Rilutek. Also, I was given the pneumonia shot. After the clinic, Darrin went back to work and I took Deke by Kelly's office so that she could see him in costume. Of course, Deke hammed it up for her. Then I headed out to Millington for a potluck at work. It was great getting to see everyone! Well, the food was a real draw too. Wednesday night we went Trick or Treating in the subdivision. Chase pulled Deke in his wagon. We were going to go to the church for their Halloween party, but I was pooped, so we stayed home and passed out candy.
Thursday night we met with Linda Gilbert, the ALS patient coordinator. She had loads of great information and brought me a present, an umbrella wheelchair. It's similar to an umbrella stroller. Chase and Darrin have already taken me for a ride. So far, Chase has used it more than me, but that's OK with me. Chase also pointed out that it's the Collierville Dragon's color. Gotta love him! Linda also brought literature about how to Share the Care, i.e. set up a group of friends and volunteers to help out with care, meals, etc. So I'm sure I'll be hitting folks up for help.
It doesn't sound like we did that much, but that's probably because I'm still too tired to think about it all :)
Everyone enjoy the weekend and I'll rest up, so I have more to share next week.
Happy birthday Mickey and Rudy!
