Wednesday, July 31, 2019 – Nurse Karen Came, Prep for Departure

Once again, FedEx screws up big-time. I pulled Hubby’s labs last Thursday and hand-delivered them to our clinic on Friday. Our nurse Karen boxed them up and sent them out FedEx with a Special Saturday Delivery label, and, would you believe, they arrived yesterday, on Tuesday! Of course, that meant at least one of the test tubes had gone bad, because there’s a short window of time before the ice pack melts, which is why they pay extra for Saturday delivery. Anyway, Karen decided to drive down and pick up a new sample, as well as do her required “home visit” that’s supposed to happen whenever someone joins a new clinic, though it’s something we hope to streamline as part of Fresenius’ RV travelers system. Once Karen left, I started to pack up, as we now have so many extraneous items we’re using, it takes me a lot longer to pack up. I put the screen room away and as many other things as I could, all the outdoor chairs and tables, all the extra horse stuff, and at the end of the day, put the horses on the highline and put the corral away. Whew! Almost two hours of work that I couldn’t start until AFTER Hubby’s dialysis. The good news is, we now have a new Fresenius Ipad and modem, so Hubby can start looking after himself a lot more and not rely on me to get his machine’s readings every half hour, but the bad news is, we’re still waiting for our clinic transfer to come through to get a password. It seems we should have it tomorrow though, and Karen has promised to email the information, since she knows we’ll be traveling tomorrow. Finally managed to get everything put away that I could, just before mosquito hour hit, and we won’t be long out of bed, believe me!
