I cannot believe that I was halfway through this morning before I realized it was Veterans Day. I never forget Veterans Day of course prided myself on that going around shaking hands of different veterans in such well specially my next-door neighbor, when he was alive, then my brother and my other brother. My oldest brother who is a veteran past earlier this month. I guess I have a number of veterans on my newfound family I visited with only one, fast Eddie. In fact I carried on a quite a conversation with him this morning.
The skies were overcast and cold this morning even with flurries of snow some of them even sticking to the trees in the grass. Still thank goodness the ground is still too warm for snow to make a showing and sticking around. Thank goodness, that's okay by me. Once again the whole morning was taken up with would maintenance. Melanie and I were both pleased that were put on earlier in the week were still there and cause no problems showering. I was worried about that but Melanie assured me that it would not hurt it would probably help in the healing process. Following the shower she applied a new dressing which stuck around until Brenda my home health person showed up around 11:30 AM.
Brenda is the nurse manager over my case. She's the mother Nurse over four five other nurses it seems I will have a nurse who will change my dressings every couple of days until the wound is resolved. What a great service! This visit was an initial visit where she took him a lot of information about me, my disability and how I seem to be doing in my life. Interestingly this is a service offered through IHC medical which my insurance is and which I did most of my services so everything is all together all my doctor visits and everything else is all in the same file. She was able to explain to me a number of services I did not really know about though I should have known about for a number of reasons. I think Dianne is taught me or tried to teach me about some of the services over the last couple years as well asBeing a information specialist 211 operator I should have had this information down as well, embarrassed. But I did my burns taking care of as well should I need to have my butt looked at for the decubitus I decubitus I am wound management they can do that to. I can also use the senior transit system which is a door-to-door service for healthcare offerings like Dianne is using amazing!? Should we using this all along still however I like to and will continue to use public transit I believe in public transit it was my wife and is my life to some degree even now. However, for long trips finally to will default to have the vehicle take me from here to the IHC or wherever. What a slick service. I will also be able to get all the bandages and the dressings and even medications through the service amazing. They also have a service that will come and pick me up off the floor shall I fall. Don't know how I'm you access that that should happen but still know that it's there and I can figure out a way to access would be just great but I still like to see the fire trucks come. She left me with my own little packet of information to go over study and encouragement to use the system which is out there.So, my luck continues to hold or I continue to be blessed or both I hope is not a sucker punch coming I'm really looking forward to 2021…
