Back in AJ

Apache Junction, AZ  High 68  Low  42

We’ve been back in AJ for a week now and for three of those days I had a major migraine. Another couple of days Jim had tests done. We’ll find out the results on Monday.

We went to see Aunt Happy and my sister and visited with lots of folks in the park.

When the girls play, Skittlez always stands up on Scooter’s back.

Got a call on Wednesday from Aunt Happy’s doctor. They need to replace the battery in her pacemaker so we took her to the hospital today. She will spend the night and have the procedure done in the morning. Hopefully she’ll be able to go home shortly after that.

She doesn’t like to wear her hearing aids anymore and she cannot hear my voice. But she can understand Jim pretty good so he has to do most of the talking now. She also had a lot of trouble getting into and out of the pickup today which shows a decline from a few months ago. We are going to call a cab to take her home tomorrow and Jim will follow us in the truck.

Jim got his Tonto forest pass today and will get his fishing license shortly. The weather is going to be beautiful next week so guess where he is going to be.

The pictures of the girls are the only pictures I’ve taken this week.

And this is what my lap looks like most of the time.

  1. Looks like Jim's getting ready to get that boat in the water and those fishing poles are going with him. You'll have lots of time to pet the pups and keep them busy. Aunt Happy sure has had a long healthy life. Hopefully, she'll perk right back up again.

  5. Cute pics of your pups! Good luck to your Aunt Happy. My Dad's in a nursing home, and doesn't hear very well. But he still knows who am I!

  10. That's how Mike's lap looks most of the time too, Emmi doesn't like to sit in my lap, I'm up and down too much disturbing her highness!

  12. Wish I had a dog that was a lap sitter. I could use the added warmth this winter. ;)

  13. The girls look quite content with sitting on your lap - and love the selfie! I feel so sorry for anyone who has migraines. Have you tried Relpax (rx tablets)? They have been a life-saver for me even though I still have to sometimes self-inject with Imitrex. Anything to get rid of the migraine!

  14. Good grief, how did I get two posts behind? Oh, I know, we are on the road. Those two pooches are soooo spoiled.

    I is so disheartening to see someone's decline. Hard to accept. Hugs to you.
