I am starting this blog with not much to report. Carol has been in ICU far to long given her relatively good condition. Since she went to Rehab and came back that once, they are watching her very closely to be sure it doesn’t happen again.
It was a BIG DAY in one regard. Carol had her hair done the day she fell. She has been getting unhappy about the way it looks for the last two or three days. At her command I brought in the clippers I use for me along with some attachments for longer hair. The staff were willing to set her up with a smock – made out of an under pad – and I trimmed her hair. I do not have permission to share the pictures but she is very happy with the result. I have discovered a new talent 🙂
Next day, Monday, Carol is back in the Step Down Unit. Staff keep asking what she is doing back here, they care about her, but would rather she not need the level of care they provide here. It would appear she will be here for a couple of days. Then back to “the floor.” We are both trying to be patient.
In other news I am still fighting the presence of at least one mouse in the motorhome. On my way home this afternoon I will stop and buy many mouse traps and special bait to try to put an end to this invasion before it becomes a family affair. I may try sticky traps as well, it’s WAR! It was eating my toilet paper!
If the mouse remaining is a deer mouse, you will need a tiny Have-A-Heart trap. Deer mice can eat the food in standard traps & not even spring them.
Thanks for the good news about Carol.
….and deer mice are totally adorable with white tummies and chests and big dark eyes.
Paul and Carol, hugs to you … you’re always in my heart and on my mind. Praying for you this Holy Day weekend too.
Paul – While Michael and I may not communicate often, Carol has been in our thoughts since the accident happened and we are so grateful for your progress reports, and especially for today’s positive news.
Sending our best wishes for a very healthy, happy and safe New Year!

I’m happy that Carol is on the mend. Paul, you made the customer happy! Way to go.
We had a mouse problem once. Glue boards did the trick. Seeing dead mice glued flat like that was gross. Put newspaper bags on my hands, and put each board in a big bag. Took care of the problem. Good luck!
Look forward to seeing you!
Glad to hear that progress, however slow, is happening. Tell Carol no more roller coaster – just a smooth ride all the way home. L, ML & DEP
Had a good chuckle about you and clippers–I would love to see the outcome- tell Carol she looks good in any hair do!!! What a great Husband you are and GET that mouse!!!!!!
I rarely interface with Facebook, so I am only getting caught up this afternoon with all that has been happening with Carol. It sounds like she is on the mend, albeit slowly, with some steps backward after progress. Let her know that she is in our thoughts and prayers. Hope she is well soon, and that you stay well. Best wishes for a new year with all good things.
