RVing Fulltime with Tom and Ella

2019 January 30 Wednesday in Liberty Hill, Texas

The day started at 32° and hit 53° for a very brief moment before the sky turned a uniform gray. This was sunrise.

Today was Grandies in the morning. After that we stopped at the post office and got an arm load of mail.

Ella had to go to the physical therapy office to get registered for when she no longer qualifies for home visits. Wow, not only can you legally be tortured but they make you pay for it.

With that done we went to Jardin Corona for lunch. With my severe allergy to onions I must be very careful of what I eat. So why would I even consider going to a Mexican restaurant? Because my bride wanted enchiladas. As long I didn’t eat the salsa, guacamole, or salad, I was alright with the steak.

The afternoon was quiet. We napped. We read. We watched TV. We played games.

Wednesday night is choir practice at Cross Tracks Church. Ella was feeling okay enough, so we went to practice. I really enjoy choir and I actually love the practice more than the performance. Practice is about learning and sharpening a skill. That means more to me than the presentation. I’m not a great singer and I don’t really read music. But I know I can add something because I can hit the deep bass notes that the others aren’t able to do.

2019 January 29 Tuesday in Liberty Hill, Texas

28° and mostly clear. And it got all the way up to 48 degrees under bright blue, mostly clear skies today. It is a beautiful looking day, even if it is chilly.

Ella’s physical therapist came out this morning. He seemed to think she was doing pretty well. She may have one or two more sessions with him. After that it will be at the physical therapy in Liberty Hill.

It’s been a very laid back day.

2019 January 28 Monday in Liberty Hill, Texas

39° and a partly cloudy.

Ella had a follow up doctor’s appointment with her surgeon.

This is what her new bionic shoulder looks like on the inside. Notice that the ball and socket joint is opposite of what nature had provided. That is why this is called a reverse shoulder replacement.

After the doctor, a stopped asst IHOP for lunch. While Ella can get in and out of the truck, she can’t do it unassisted.

At 69° and a day with only scattered white clouds, it seems like a perfect winter day for sitting outside. However, tonight and tomorrow night it is going to dip down to freezing. And tomorrow’s high is supposed to be in the mid-forties. Now I know for those of you in the midwest that’s nothing but for those of us in Texas it’s something.

Interesting gathering if clouds at sunset.

2019 January 27 Sunday Georgetown and Liberty Hill, Texas

48° and a few drops of rain overnight along with done thunder. Got up to 65 under nearly cloudless skies.

I left Ella at home while I went to church. I also went to Adam and Leigha’s for lunch and Tate’s flag football game.

Ella wrote: Another Sunday, another day. Home working on letting God heal me.

My view this afternoon. I had to open the door to let the cool air in. Tom’s going to be surprised I’ve been cold a lot since surgery.

On the way home, I called Ella to see what she wanted for supper. We settled on Subway.

Not a spectacular sunset.

2019 January 24 Thursday in Liberty Hill, Texas

28° just like yesterday morning. Completely cloudless. Got all the way to 59.

Ella is continuing to get better. She has begun weaning herself from her medications. She’s gone from one pill every 4 hours to one every 5 hours. Here is an image of the wound. It’s about 5″ and to the front of her right shoulder.

Ella doing physical therapy. Using the left hand to increase range of motion on right arm.

Ella preparing tho beat me at Fast Track. She had three players on the board and I have none.

Of the 3 packages that arrived yesterday, these jacks are the only ones that came as advertised. The pjs that were ordered xl, came with thetop being a large and the bottoms a medium.

I already posted about my disappointment at the “Big and Tall” sleeping bag that was only tall and not big. I know I’m large but not gigantic. So I really looked forward to that sleeping bag.

G’night and God bless.

2019 January 23 Wednesday in Liberty Hill, Texas

28° that feels like 20 and it hailed overnight. I slept besides her in my recliner until Monday night. P

Grandies

Ella all snuggled into her recliner. She’s lived there day and night since last Thursday. I slept in my recliner next to her until Monday night. Sleeping in a recliner was really bothering my legs and hips so I quit. it also bothered my left shoulder pushing myself up out of that chair all of the time.

I ordered a shower seat that Ella can use now and I can use next year after my knee surgery.

Today’s mail brought get well cards for Ella and birthday cards for me. It all’s brought pjs for Ella, jacks for the trailer, and a sleeping bag for me. It was advertised as “big and tall”. I’m big and tall. So for my birthday gift for myself, I bought it. Unfortunately it may be tall but it’s not big enough for me. I couldn’t get both arms in. How disappointing.

G’night and God bless.

54° and partly cloudy that turned completely cloudy and 62°.

It was windy throughout the night and continued through morning and finally died around 2 p.m.

That’s it nothing happened and we went no where today.

G’night and God bless.

2019 January 21 Monday in Liberty Hill, Texas

35° and partly cloudy that reached 61°

Ella received a text from Wal-Mart that sure had meds tho pick up. So off I went. While I was there I purchased tho sweatpants for Ella to use as pjs.

This afternoon both the home health nurse and the physical therapist were here to chicken on Ella’s progress. She got good reports from both.

Her nerve block pump was empty so I removed the bandage and the needle. That is one less thing to have hanging around her neck. She seems to be keeping ahead of the pain with low doses of the oral pain meds.

G’night and God bless.

2019 January 20 Sunday in Liberty Hill, Texas

I went to church while Ella stayed home. She’s not ready to try climbing into the truck.

After church I returned the carpet cleaner to H.E.B. From there I went to Wal-Mart looking for a pajama set for Ella. She wanted fleece with a button front. The summer wear are out now so no fleece to be found.

However I found a 2 piece fleece sleep suit with a zippered front. If she it’s unable to work the zipper (as I suspect) I can help her with it until I can get it to a seamstress to have buttons replace the zipper.
