Tuesday, 5th of January 2010




This is getting old but the temperature at 6 :54 am is 7 degrees but when you are outside it feels like 8 below. Ken says this cold wave is going to be around for awhile. If you hear sobbing, it is me! At least, now that we are keeping the dogs inside, I only have to go out to feed and water the birds and drive up and get our mail. I feel so sorry for the animals that are not able to get out of this cold. I am setting at the computer right now with a blanket wrapped around me. We have a little heater we use in this room but right now, it is trying to put out as much heat as it can, but I am still not warm.

Ken got to use his shaver for the first time this morning. He is very pleased with it. Of course I had the camera ready. He is thinking of taking the camera away from me! But for now I have a clean shaven man!!!
In the afternoon the oxygen people stopped by and left three more tanks. Ken doesn't use a lot of the portable tanks in the winter because he doesn't go outside that much. In the house, we have a big machine that makes the oxygen for him. I do try to make sure we have enough tanks, just incase we lose our electricity. In an emergency, they are real good about coming out, even though they have to drive from Fayetteville to here.
Ken heard from the doctors. This Thursday he has an appointment with Dr. Chitsey in Harrison. It is just a check-up. We also heard from the Vet's Hospital in Little Rock today. Ken has to go Wednesday, Jan. 20 at 2:00 in the afternoon for an Ultrasound and then back to Little Rock on Wednesday, Jan 27 to the Vascular Clinic at 2:45 in the afternoon. I am going to call a place in Harrison that has a van that will drive the vet's to the hospital and see if we can't have them take us. I sure hope they will, for I have never been to Little Rock and not looking forward to the drive. I am not for sure how long of a drive it is but I know it is quite a bit further than Fayetteville.
Melissa called me this evening and I even got to talk to Luke. He has such a cute voice. I can't wait to see him this summer. It will be fun to show the kids all over this place.
