There's more to liver transplant than the surgery: our annual trip to Tybee Island, clogged gutters, tall grass, dog walking - but the thing I hadn't thought about until recently......where is Ron going to sleep. We live in a two story house and the bedrooms are upstairs....and he certainly can't spend his days and nights sleeping on the couch. Our sunroom will change again.
SLEEPING: The sunroom has had many uses: sunroom, diningroom for special occasions, photography studio when the downstairs studio flooded, and now a large bedroom equipped with grandkids' toys and Cheyanne The Wonderhorse. We've even worked out the TV issue - if we position the bed just right, he can see the TV in the livingroom, and use the remote control to change channels = Perfect!
DOG WALKING: Ron usually comes home at lunch and walks the dogs (2-Boxers and a Jack Russell) - but once he's home from the hospital - he won't be taking a 92lb Boxer for a walk. So, he's training the dogs to wait and go out in the afternoon once I get home from work - so far - so good - no accidents.
GUTTERS and GRASS: Ron spent his Saturday up on the roof cleaning gutters. It wasn't until tonight that he told me he almost fell off the roof - he won't be going up on the roof again....gutters clean and a riding lawn mower - I'm hoping the men of our family will spend a couple of their off days helping out with outdoor work.
TYBEE TYME: We can't go too far from home - our annual trip to Tybee Island is on the back burner until after the transplant and recovery time....something to look forward to.
Every weekend we hope for a call - and here it is - Sunday night again. Soon, I know, soon.
