THROUGH MY WINDOWS

Mary's view from her house. Isn't it lovely with the sunlight shimmering off the water? My good friend, Mary, lives just up over the hill. I can almost see her house from our driveway. Yesterday we had scheduled to go down the Island to have lunch at a favorite Island year round eating spot, Harbor Cafe, in Stonington. Actually, we were hoping to try the drive-in at the bridge but it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Stonington harbor, view from the cafe Harbor cafe. We found a spot in front to park. Summer rentals Gift shops, rentals and restaurants dot the area as well as houses of year round residents. Stonington Harbor is starting to get busy. 🐧🐧🐧 After a very delicious lunch of a lobster and crab roll with a lobster roll to go home with me for Mom and a chat about everything and anything, I took some pictures of the view there and we headed back up the Island.

Hi there! Today looks to be a pretty good day, June 2. It's noontime and sunny outside. A nice salty breeze is coming off the sea.  Our curtains are closed to the sunlight. Mom is still sleeping (she is an insomniac). And since her bedroom these days is the old living room separated from the rest of the house by an archway, the curtains on the large picture Windows at the front of the house stay closed until I wake her to take her medication at 12:30. It's a super duper fluid pill that when taken, a half hour before her regular diuretic, will ensure that during the course of the afternoon she will trot, as fast as a 92 year old on a walker can, back and forth from her recliner to the bathroom. So far she has rid her body of over 30 pounds of fluid in the past 5 weeks. Needless to say, all her other symptoms have diminished also.

When I arrived back here she was suffering from an open wound on her leg and extreme shortness of breath. A trip to the doctor with blood work and xrays ordered determined that she had severe edema and anemia.

She has been put on strong edema meds and ferrous sulfage tablets. I have her on a strict diet also. I'm happy to say that she is now starting to feel much better, her breathing has improved and she is finally back to using her walker. I couldn't be happier and hope that her progress continues. On
