Moving right along...

Whew! Another hot one out here in the East county. It sort of came back to bite my Dad this morning when the AC in the nursing facility was cranking early in the morning to keep the East side cool in the morning when the sun was coming up. He ended up with 4 blankets on him to keep him warm.

Once he got dressed and up, he was just fine.

Direct TV was installed this morning...Not soon enough. However, tonight when we were looking for something to watch, he wanted to watch the Padres...Direct TV does not get Channel 4...And then as I kept running shows by him, he kept saying "no, how about something else...?" I couldn't win...;)

Went to the Fair today for a couple hours with friends...Boy, I didn't realize how tired I was until walking around in the sun...I went back to see my Dad on my way home, and we finished is dinner (baked Mac and cheese with breadcrumb topping and peas...I snuck a bite...It was good!), and only ate a little of the jello dessert to save room for Golden Spoon! If you are not familiar with Golden Spoon, it is a frozen yogurt chain that has great yogurt. My Dad just loves it, and it is right next to my house, in the center on the Northeast corner of the intersection of Baltimore Drive and Lake Murray Blvd. in La Mesa. I know there are a few others around, but it is really yummy!

So, this week, Dad has Physical Therapy every day, and then we go see Dr. Hardy on Thursday. My Dad is really looking forward to getting the net thing off his head...It is a stretchy, net tube with a hole in it for his face. It helps to hold the bandages in place without having to use a lot of tape. It goes under his chin, and the best part is that there is a lot more room at the top, so he has this little tube that sticks straight up on the top of his head. It reminds me of a cartoon from my childhood called the "Snorks," which were these little underwater creatures with a snorkel like thing on the top of their head.

I took a photo of him the other day so he could see what it looked like, and when I showed him the camera, he laughed, and looked directly at me and said in all seriousness..."I don't want this on the Internet." He is so funny about things sometimes.

Much love.
