PROJECT DAY TWO- AND GRIPPING

Well, project day two has come and gone.  Finally the hallway is dry and Mom decided to wait until the humidity is gone before she applies a second coat.  The utility room floor dried last night, it only took 3 days or so...........wow!  Again, she must wait to apply more.  It does look nice and shiny and clean.  Mom said the real test will be us and Dad.

The kitchen walls are painted and so are the cabinets.  Mom took yesterday afternoon off and the grandboy who is 11 and a better painter than Mom helped.  A LOT!!!!  He climbed the ladder to the high high heavens of our walls to get in the corners, he sat on top of the refrig. ...you know all those dangerous things Grandma's are not supposed to let their grandchildren do.  As it has dried we see area's that will need touch ups but at least she has made some headway......Mom might try to paint the kitchen floor tonight or mow....its a toss up....only one more day and dad will be home ...whooohehehheh......we will post pictures tomorrow....maybe.

We are so upset about some things...so if you don't want to hear gripping just turn our post off now.  First an update on our Macey.  Still waiting.............yes she is still waiting on her compression hose...........all these months..............tomorrow she see's her Doc. again to be re-measured and hopefully re-ordered through a different company!!!   The first company bowed out about three weeks ago, after she has waited and waited...because of the size etc............fitting a child is apparently something no one on Earth or Iowa is talented enough to do.  Of course Macey doesn't really care because she is little and doesn't understand the importance of them.  So things are at a standstill for her.  No PT because without the hose it can be more dangerous for her with the movement of the fluid.  Apparently even good insurance isn't worth much.  We ARE disgusted.

Yesterday Mom had her follow up checkup after her surgery last week.  Apparently when her Dr. came and told Dad and me that everything was fine and they removed JUST the tumor she mistakenly told us INCORRECT.  I am still trying to spin my brain around how a Dr. can walk out of surgery and tell us things that were wrong?????  Mom did have to have lymph nodes removed because they found more cancer ....................we were told NO lymph nodes were removed because they were cancer free.  So now her plan of action has changed and the worse thing is the Dr. that Mom felt so safe and confident in, has made her feel less.   We are still just shaking our heads.

Its not good when you lose all confidence in the people you trust to take care of the ones you love....................not good.
