November 26, 2011 – Beat up veins

Margaret is still getting IV antibiotics and they use an IV line.  They are allowed to keep the line in for 3 days but the best we have had so far is 2 ½ days.  The antibiotic is thick and tends to hurt if it is in a small vein.  Her veins are so beat up they are running out of places to put them.  Hopefully her blood work will be good on Monday so they can stop the IVs and give her veins a rest for a while.

It has been a little on the quite side, there are people who live close who were allowed to go home for a day or two for Thanksgiving and people being released before Thanksgiving.  We are expecting a big group of people on Sunday night because the house will be filled on Monday.

The crows are still noisy at dusk and dawn, it’s always fun until someone releases the raptors!  That should happen sometime this week and maybe the population will be significantly reduced.  Then maybe we don’t have to walk through all the ‘white stuff’ (and I don’t mean snow) and maybe our cars can be some other color other than white.  They did get me the other day and it felt like someone threw a big heavy walnut at my back.  It was a glancing blow but still needed significant time to get it off my coat.

Thanks.
