Hello 2014! Mark refused to go home and is still here today. He bought multi plastic drawers and has been sorting out my large - almost room-sized - closet so all "extras" are now in a proper order, each having its own drawer. He got them from Wal-Mart and London Drugs and they are stacked drawers, some having wheels so I can wheel them in another place if I want. What heaven! I'm starting the new year with a clean slate as regards a neater place to live in.
That's the trouble with me. I have too many interests which require too much stuff.

Care-aid from "We Care" will come for an hour once a day for a week. (Private billing) They are scheduled to "do anything I ask them to do". This morning she washed my pillow-case. My pillow is too wide for the standard pillow-cases and I only had a large flannel one which fit without scrunching up the pillow and making it too hard for my head. The care-aid was mortified it was so old, saying it should be replaced by getting a seamstress to make one.
When I am well, I can cancel their contract twenty-four hours ahead. I can also call for a foot-doctor and make an appointment for him to come here for $50.00. I'll ask for him to come, that's for sure
She did the dishes and she washed my dry, dry legs with coconut oil soap and creamed them with coconut oil.

I walked a bit without the walker. I know now there's some improvement and as long as I'm careful  it's going to be all right. And so begins the new year. Assisted Doris.
