Jerry had a Doctor appointment today. Her neighbor took her to the appointment and to the store after wards. When I came over, she was wearing her oxygen. She told me that the Dr. wanted her to wear her oxygen all the time because she was really low. She was waiting for someone to come and fill her portable oxygen tank. We talked for a bit and filled out her calendar. We made a list of things to do on the days I come over; she planned almost all of the activities! She “Loves to shop”. She was telling me about at Christmas time Bud used to repaint old bikes and make them look brand new. She also said her favorite holiday is Valentines Day, when I asked her why she said “Because that’s Bud’s Birthday”. I was telling her that it was almost April Fools day and the things I used to do to my parents. I told her I was going to do something; she laughed and said “Don’t do anything too drastic.” ;) She called her sister, we were going to go and see her today but I don’t want to take her without her oxygen. We will go on Friday. She called Carol and she called her brother. I left early today. Hopefully she will get her oxygen later tonight or tomorrow.

Jerry told me last week that she wanted to go to Bingo today with her neighbor Carol at the Senior Center. She didn’t call her to go, so maybe next Monday? I’ll have Jerry call her when I’m at her house so she can plan it. She did mention going over there to see if she was home, she didn’t answer the door. Jerry even came back and called her but she didn’t answer. Jerry called her sister, we were going to go see her today but she won’t be home. (She mentioned her sister came over to see her yesterday and she misses her). She called her back and we will go and see her on Wednesday. Jerry mentioned going for a drive around that area, I’m glad she did. I got lost out there I couldn’t find the address her sister gave her. We stopped at the Murray Cemetery on our way out to her sisters. After our drive we went to the store to pick up a few things. She bought a cute little dog with bunny ears for her Grand daughter. :) She told me she likes dogs and has a bunch of them.

Today was a cold day. Jerry was watching QVC when I came over. We watched that for a few minutes. She mentioned that Meals on Wheels didn’t come today. She decided she wanted to go to lunch at McDonalds. After lunch she decided she wanted to go to Macy’s to walk around and just look. She got tired but we did go for a good walk. When we came back to the house, I got my computer out to show her the other blog I have and then explained how it works, and how other people out of state or others that just want to look and see what she has been doing will be able to see. :)  She said she wanted it to be a blue background with a picture of Pepper. She said “You can mention on there if you want that I like QVC”. (She doesn't want pictures of her on here until she gets her hair done).

Jerry was ready to go today when I got there. She wanted to go to Walmart to pick up some dog food. She picked up a few more things then we went back to the house and talked for a bit and then took Pepper for a walk. It’s so cute when he stands up and waves his paws. We walked around the church by her house. She was talking about when she used to be a crossing guard, her kids and school. She was really appreciative; it was nice to hear :) she’s a sweet lady. I left a few minutes early. Walking around Walmart and taking Pepper for a walk wore her out. I asked her to think of something she wanted to do tomorrow.

Today was my first day with Jerry. We had a good talk today. We went to get something to eat; she mentioned Meals on Wheels didn’t bring her enough food. She wanted to go to Gringo’s. After we had lunch we went up to the Senior Center to get a schedule. We took the schedule home with us and went though it and she found bingo on Monday’s. She suggested going with her neighbor. On Thursday’s they have a program to help kids read, she seemed interested in that, I think we will do that next week. We talked about things she likes to do and made a tentative schedule for next week. She said she likes to go for walks too. She showed me some of her pictures in her album. Claudette came while I was there; it was nice to meet her too. I’m looking forward to taking Jerry out.
