Getting this blog post started, at least, before my 2nd zoom meeting with the bank. This time is so they can show me how to set up international wires that we do on a monthly basis. (one to my sis). I've printed out both's wire instructions, so hopefully this meeting shouldn't take too long. I am hoping it's not as complicated as our current bank is, for international wires. Their set up procedure made my head spin.
I was messaging with sis this morning, asking how her step dad is doing. There is no way he had a "massive stroke" - she said she got to the hospital yesterday afternoon and there he is - sitting up in bed, eating a meal, talking and crabby as usual. How is that even possible?! Her step brother, from the states, has now arrived and things are going better, so far. He has managed to talk their dad into going into hospice care, rather than returning home to his apartment. Thank God! Sis is so relieved. The transfer is being worked on right now, plus this hospice place is about a half hour closer drive for her, so 1 1/2 hours, instead of 2 hours.
Even though I put "goop" as I call it, in my eyes before bed last night, my eyes still seemed to get extra dried out for some reason. My right eye has been a bit blurry all morning and looking at the computer screen is hard. I'm hoping with having tomorrow off, and less computer time, it will be better after that.
Dh has his endoscopy tomorrow. It seemed odd that his MyChart doesn't show a check in time. We were told verbally (by the doctors office inept scheduler) an 8am check-in. We got recorded phone call reminding him of the appt on Thursday, but dh also though it was odd that there was no time given. Yesterday afternoon I called the hospital's day surgery and of course had to leave a message (a voicemail that says leave a message and we'll call you back as soon as possible). Well, it's been 24 hours and no call back. How hard is it to take 2 minutes and return a patient's call? Also every appointment that has shown up in MyChart, in the past, has always had available a "pre check-in" the day before and I even get an email or text reminding to do the pre check in and nothing is showing up. If we get there tomorrow at 8am and that is not the correct time, I'm going to blow a gasket.
This eye strain all day is giving me a headache. Time for a break I guess, maybe just take off early today and go rest my eyes.
That is very interesting about your sister's step dad. Maybe this is just his second wind before ??? Either way, I am glad he is going into hospice care. I hope tomorrow goes smoothly for you both!!
ReplyDeleteWait a second! Did I miss something? Is your sister in a different country?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the stepdad has nine lives?!
