Halloween

K had to spend most of Halloween Eve in her regular dialysis slot this afternoon. Ken picked her up, while I tended the door. Can't let those trick-or-treaters go without candy! Ken got her home from dialysis just in time for her to hear the last Halloweeners ring our doorbell.

Geocache!

Victory! Ken and Mandy and I found our first Geocache! We're walking the dog in the town of Morrison, near Red Rocks amphitheater, after having breakfast at the Blue Cow restaurant.

Porter Dialysis

K's temporarily at a nice dialysis facility, across the street from Harvard Gulch Park. I'm walking Mandy around the park now. K's going here, while they're remodeling the Littleton DaVita facility.

Walking

Had a great breakfast at Original Pancake House, now walking the dog at DeKoevend Park nearby. Pretty Fall colors all around...

Walking

Ahhhh, the lovely sounds of a cold clear Fall morning, after the first snow: the "scrape, scrape, scrape" of people getting their cars ready to go to work.

Snow. Hah!

Hardly any snow out there this morning. Roads are wet but fine. So much for the "BLIZZARD OF 2011!!!" hype in the news last night. Happy Birthday, Mikele!

Snow coming

Wuh, ohh... Forecast for a low of 17°F and six inches of snow here on Wednesday.

Pancake Breakfast!

Stopped at Original Pancake House for breakfast before work! Woo Hoo! This is a really cool thing, about moving our offices to the other side of town! All I have to do, is pull an all-nighter, so I can leave early enough to squeeze it in. :-/

Cold

It's 29°F out there. So now I don't feel so silly about shutting off and draining our drip system on Monday. Whew. Saved myself fifty bucks and some angst.

IOS-5

I chickened out, and decided to shut off the drip system, even though the forecast is only for a measly low of 32. Got brave, and decided to update the iphone to IOS 5 tonight.

Rain

Surprise. BIG drops coming down this morning!

Struggling along

K's legs were swollen again on Friday. Now her right foot is looking poorly. We saw her Ortho doc on Friday and she did a lot of cleanup. We're keeping a low profile over the weekend. Seems to be helping, as her legs look better today. Ken and I had a delightful walk through City Park and around the lake, after having a delicious breakfast at Racines. Love their french toast with a banana on it!

Visitor

Our friend Claudia stopped by to visit, on her way to San Diego this weekend. We had some fun - had breakfast at Original Pancake House (her first time in 19 years), visited the Red Rocks amphitheater, Sunday breakfast at Blue Cow, and walked up and down along Bear Creek in the town of Morrison. We almost got it together to hunt down a GeoCache, at Claudia's urging. Sounds like fun!

Dialysis moved

K resumed her usual dialysis schedule last night. Except that they're remodeling the Littleton DaVita center, so for the next few months she'll be going a lot farther away, up near Porter Hospital. And they moved her time slot almost an hour sooner. Not so usual, I guess...

Checking out

Checking out of this place! Would be nice, if everyone had a clearer sense of why she was here in the first place. Still, it'll be great to get her home.

Here til Monday

They're keeping K at St Jo until Monday at least. They'll do another Ultrasound then. Her left leg has gone down to the same size as the right, very good news. She's been fighting a continuing battle over pain meds with the docs here, and she claims she had a big win this morning.
