It has turned out to be a fairly full day so far, and its just barely into the afternoon! Ack! Lucky for me, my things have been fun, for the most part 🙂
I got the big kids off to school, and Wavy off to preschool.
In between there, I texted Dr. Guselle about some sketchy red spots on Brady’s bad leg. His particularly useless leg – the right side – showed up with bright red spots yesterday evening, only right beside where he gets swelling at the end of the day. We both had some blood clot concerns, so I sent a message this morning.
Cher found out her morning class got cancelled, so while Waverly was at school, she and I ducked into Saskatoon for a super speedy Value Village run. She had earned that two hour break in the midst of an incredibly busy time of studying! Plus, she wanted to help me. Remember that time I gained 40-ish pounds on my medication, and then switched back and started losing some of that weight again? Well, it keeps dropping and I keep not having clothes that fit. I also don’t have anything that would qualify as “nice.” I did manage to buy some tank tops for the summer, which is why you probably saw me in the same four shirts all season. But we went in today and I successfully found a pair of jeans, a cute soft plaid shirt, and a tshirt that I really like!
It was a great shopping success, and the company was pretty excellent also! 💜
We got back in time to sip coffee for a bit before picking Wavy up and bringing her home. Meanwhile, Brady drove into Saskatoon and took his lunch early to go test drive yet another van. No dice :/ Aaaaany day now, guys! Anyone have any leads? Stow and go seats, and power sliding doors! Thats ALL we ask!
Eventually, we parted ways 💜 Cher went home to do schoolwork. I put Wavy down for a nap. I also called Brady and heard about the van. It could’ve been good, except the doors weren’t powered, which is an important part of him not having to step on the ice to retrieve his chair. Also, it was rusted through at points. So, nope. Onto the next.
We heard back from Dr. Guselle as well, and she was able to alleviate some of the anxiety surrounding Brady’s leg. She pointed out that, when Brady had his pulmonary embolism, he had a lot of factors against him, and he has WAY fewer now. She is not concerned about him having reoccurring blood clots, and says much more likely its just an odd rash or at worst, leaky blood vessels. But likely not in this case. Win! She is so reassuring.
Once some of that was over, Wavy was wrapping up her lunch, and I tried on my Value Village clothes. Wavy made fun of me for undressing in the kitchen, but then reacted very sweetly and told me I looked “sooooo cute!” Lol!
Beard man for the win! 💜
Waverly went down for her nap totally easily and happily, and now, I will crochet in my bed and rest up a little before everyone comes home and chaos ensues!
Happy first day of Fall, friends!
