25Apr25: the weekend, finally…

I left Andy at home. Off to two appointments, late for the first one because of a bus scheduling error.
Left at this door by the HandiBus and signed in to the wound care appointment. My edema is getting in much better control after 23 years of fighting it!

The wound care person is very good and got me into a pair of compression socks that are comfortable yet efficacious.

My dry weight after dialysis dropped below 100 kilos for the first time ever! I feel (physically) the best I have on years.

It’s nice being able to put my shoes on without a tussle!
After wound care, I went straight to dialysis.

I make myself handy by pushing the door openers along this walk and inside the entrance. I would hate to be the bus driver pushing me up this small hill!
After an exhausting day, I waited for the HandiBus to take me home.
Here it is. Hooked into a safety system, I can’t wait for the “wheels on the bus go ’round and round’!”
My driver signs in on the computer system so others waiting for rides – a very busy day – are assured to see the HandiBus come around their corner, soon.

Yesterday, one new rider turned out to be my old friend Robert and younger brother of my friend Larry. We caught up on things, yelling at each other over the noisy bus. It was a fun ride!

It amazes me how I can live in a small town and never cross paths with old friends who also live here.
Yep, lots of Alliance scenery over the short two mile ride. The drivers drive around the schools to avoid the students and 20 mph speed limits. I do the same when I drive.
Home sweet home! If Andy doesn’t meet me at the door, this is what he’s up to.

Next week, I have appointments here and in Scottsbluff every day. Ugh!

The problem of not being able to attend my Class of my 1966 lunch Friday is taken care of, sadly, because our hostess called it off due to being ill. Best wishes for quick recovery, Donna.
I was just about to wake Andy when he hopped out of my wheelchair. Whew! Don’t piss the cat!!
