Busy until noon. Elsa and I completed 5,000 steps. I did some work on the updates and gardening. I walked that two-foot path between my plumbagos and my neighbor’s fence, spraying after I had sprayed stray weeds in my front yard. I did more work on the updates. I weeded the yard outside my bedroom while Judy and I chatted.
She was going to make an apple rhubarb pie for Paulette’s birthday. Instead, she was admitted to the hospital for a three-day stay in ICU and one additional day on the floor. I was expecting her to make that pie the moment she got out. But no. Her leg hurt too much to stand that long. What?!
Paulette told me Judy complained of pain the night before she went to the hospital but refused to go despite Paulette’s pleas. The doctor told her it would take a month for that wound to resolve itself. It is still hard and hot to the touch.
Judy also told me she had just made it to the hospital in time. For every hour you wait, your chances of surviving sepsis dip 10%. Message to all that don’t already know: Sepsis is extremely dangerous.
After the garden work, I took a shower and a nap.
