Another trip down to Winston for my pre-op. No problems going down but coming back we hit several detours. The hurricane brought a lot of wind and rain to some areas. One detour we hit coming back was not there when we went down. Anyway, after winding around country roads we finally made it back home.

We only had a lot of heavy rain and wind but no damage.

My Home Instead sitter is here today. I’ve had the same one during the week and I love her. She is great with Colin and attentive to what I need.

We did a load of clothes and emptied the dish washer.

My muscle spasms have come back starting last night. I called my physician and he is phoning some thing new for me to try for the pain. The spasms called down a little this afternoon.

Partly cloudy today with temperatures in the low 70’s.

Another warm, fall day with lots of sunshine and calm. Highs in the 70’s.

I had a private pay this morning from 7 – 10. She fed Colin then helped me with my breakfast. She took Colin out several times. I have my same Home Instead person this afternoon. I fixed a sandwich to put in the fridge and had her put my ice tea on my side table before she left.

OT came around 10:45 for my shower. I ate lunch and now hanging out until she gets here this afternoon. I paid  couple of bills and did a few things at my desk.
