3/19 – Sunday
We had one appointment this week for an MRI. When we showed up, the receptionist looked at us like we were foreigners. “I don’t have you on the schedule” she said. After further research, it turns out we were a week early. When I made the appointment, they told me this Thursday. Rather than clarify which Thursday, I assumed it was the first this Thursday, not this next Thursday. Had they given me a date, I would have remembered. This is my sister’s birthday, March 23rd. All in all, it’s my fault for not asking for the date. Michelle wasn’t happy about the futile trip. “At least we got out of the house” I said. Not the comfort she was looking for.
Capitol Home Health called about a nurse visit this week. We pushed them off because it wasn’t our favorite nurse, J-Rod.
Here is the feature of the week, Michelle’s firsts. Michelle Trimmed some rose bushes out front this week. I caught her with a set of pruners, dressing up an overgrown rose bush. She also helped me unload the dishwasher. This was the first time she did this, since October! My alarm went off on Thursday to water the plants and she said, “I got this” She jumped up, grabbed a water can and watered all the plants around the house. She even groomed some of the plants that were getting overgrown. She was my Sous Chef one night and helped me season the beef and cut up carrots for dinner. She completely dried herself off after an independent shower.
One last thing to note is her self-dancing. She has been moving her head to the beat while listening to music on TV shows. You’d have to see it to understand how cute it is, she’s adorable. These might not seem like milestones, but as a loving husband and caretaker watching the progress day by day, these landmarks are tremendous.
Weekly highlight: Seeing Michelle in the kitchen again. Smiling as she helped me with my cooking tasks. Round Rock Donuts! Crème Bismarck and Chocolate Eclairs, the perfect start to a Saturday morning.
