Log
09:45 AM: I’m up.
10:20 AM: Posted the Dr. Phil Episode Notes: Anything Men Can Do, Women Can Do Better piece. I’ll add the detailed notes to this after the show airs later today.
10:25 AM: I just got word from the nursing home that Mom has been diagnosed with a pressure ulcer on her left lateral foot, stage 2. The letter said that they’d call in the next few days with updates on this condition and they say that she’ll have to begin treatment for this wound presently. I’ll get more details when we visit her later this week.
01:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless.
01:45 PM: I’ve scheduled an appointment with Mom’s dentist for Mom, to complete that dental work he started on her last summer. That appointment is scheduled in late April, 2011.
02:10 PM: I’ve also scheduled an appointment for Mom with her eye specialist, for mid April, 2011, to get her failing left eye fixed, and have alerted the nursing home about both of these appointments. They’ll see that she’s transported to each. However, they request a family member be present with Mom. I’ll try to be there but it may be difficult to coordinate this with the van I ride, particularly since these appointments are later in the day. I may have to have one of my sisters come pick me up after Mom is finished at each appointment.
03:00 PM: Nap time. Back later.
04:30 PM: I’m awake again.
05:30 PM: Watched and took notes from today’s Dr. Phil show, called Anything Men Can Do, Women Can Do Better.
06:45 PM: Entered the notes from that Dr. Phil show. See them here.
07:45 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of NBC’s Nightly News broadcast via the DVR.
08:45 PM: Watched most of tonight’s Parker / Spitzer show on CNN. Now, I’m calling [Emmy] to catch the remainder of tonight’s Penguins hockey game.
10:11 PM: The Pens just lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning, 2 to 1.
10:45 PM: Headed to bed. Good night.
12:45 AM: Got up long enough to review today’s traffic stats on my blogs. The thirty day unique keyword hit count has risen from 907 up to 917; yet another high record. Hiw high will it go?
01:00 AM: Back to bed with me. Good night again.
