Updating NOT MUCH

I don't know as this previously posted

Really not much to add from here in Central Tennessee.  The Bone and Joint doctor prescribed a 1 week  Prednisone routine for Loretta.  That didn't help the neck pain much.  So last week we started a series with a Chiropractor.  She has had 3 sessions so far and seems to be much better.  Will have a final one on Tuesday.

She now has 2 Caregivers coming in each day except Sunday.  One from 8 till 1 then another from 5-7.  Another comes in from 5-7 to prepare supper and get her ready for bed.  Sundays only one in afternoon from 3-8.  They are both very helpful and relieves a lot of strain for me.  I do try to get her out each day.  She doesn't want to exercise or walk here.  So that does require a bit of both.  We usually stop at a restaurant, or Wal-Mart.  She eats better at a restaurant than here for some reason.  She has lost a lot of weight so it makes me happy to see her eat.  

I am feeling very well and doing quite a bit of work around the trailer.  I have been neglecting my daily walks. I really should do therm, but weather and insects haven't been cooperative.  We had a very HOT spell with high humidity and several rainy periods.  Our Air Conditioner quit on abut the hottest day of the year (naturally).  That has hurt our finances this month as it cost about $800 to replace that.  $400+ a while back also has kept us a bit strapped financially.  But hopefully things will be improving on that front.

We haven't traveled any real distance from the campground.  Mostly shopping, dining and doctor visits.  Some of Loretta's family have stopped by from time to time.  I have been driving for a local Chevy dealer.  Only 3 trips of any distance, but quite a few local ones.  That gives me a break in the daily routine and helps the budget a bit.  

Other than that, nothing to report really.

GOD Bless

Just an update

Really not anything new here.  Loretta has 2 caregivers now.  One comes in for 5 hours 6 mornings a week.  The other comes in Sunday afternoons for 5 hours and 2 hours 5 evenings a week.  Saturday evening is shared by the 2 of them.  I tend to her Sunday mornings.  This sure takes a lot of strain off of me, but it doesn't allow us to do much.  I do get her out almost every afternoon for short ride and lunch, this gets her to walk a bit and get in and out of truck at least 2 times.   She also goes to church with me most Sundays.

I have been doing a fair amount of driving for a nearby auto dealer.  Mostly 2-3 hour trips, but have made several of up to 13 hours.  This I could not do without the Caregivers being here and sometimes devoting extra time.  This sure gives me a break and helps some financially also.  

We recently discussed going to Florida for a month, but Loretta says she isn't up to the trip.  So I guess we will be spending another winter in Tennessee.  Hope it is better than last one.  I still haven't had the funds to repair the minor damage from going down the bank last winter.  

As usual, we have had some doctor visits which all came out OK.  My follow up on Cataract surgery was good.  Loretta has been having recurring neck pain.  A trip to bone and joint Clinic didn't provide much relief.  So she has been seeing our Chiropractor for past 2 months.  She gets relief from those visits but that only lasts a few weeks.  

As far as I know that is about all I can add to previous posts.

GOD Bless

Andy and Loretta
