Tuesday, May 21, 2019 – Doctors Appointment

After three weekends of yard sales, and 3 weeks of working my butt off to get ready for them, we finally closed the gates this past Sunday, leaving us with still a whole lot of stuff to clear out. Well, I should say “me” since Hubby still isn’t able to help much. He had his first back procedure two weeks ago, and it made a huge difference, but they can only do one side at a time, and the other side started hurting him so much he was back to nearly disabled again. Then on Thursday, he stressed himself out trying to walk around the store, pushing himself a bit too hard, which made his heart go into A-fib again, so that started to hurt him across his shoulders in the back, and that didn’t help him much. In addition, we decided that trying to cram 5 days of dialysis in every week, no matter the schedule, was actually detrimental to him because by the end of day three-in-a-row, he was feeling so weak he could hardly stand up. Today was supposed to be the end of his back pain, as they were going to do the other side today, but when they found out about the A-fib, they said they didn’t feel comfortable doing it until that was straightened out. I had told them about it on the phone, and no one had said anything about that possibility, so we ended up wasting most of the day again running down to Manchester for nothing. We did shop, but that could have waited. Anyway, we have the A-fib reversal procedure tomorrow in Murfreesboro, then our monthly Home Hemo Clinic in Tullahoma on Thursday, so this week is mostly wasted. I’ve been posting a lot of stuff on Facebook marketplace and getting a pretty good response, so hopefully I can sell a few more things before we finally clear the house out. Looks like most of it will have to be given to charity, as there’s not enough value left in anything to persuade a liquidator or auctioneer to bother with it. I did finally manage to finish dubbing all the VCR tapes that I had to onto DVD, so those have all been trashed now. I’m getting ready to bring some realtors in to see who we can work with, and are still hoping to get out of here by mid-June. Our departure can’t come soon enough for either of us!! We stopped for a nice dinner at a new little restaurant in Manchester called Eurobites, which is a combination English Pub, French bakery and German biergarten, and very cosmopolitan choice for Manchester! In any event, we had a lovely glass of Founders Ale on tap and a Shepherd’s pie that we shared before heading home. Another late evening, I’m afraid, and an early morning tomorrow!
