As mentioned in yesterday’s blog, I did contact my dialysis team nurse, requested several boxes of 2.5% 2-liter static dialysis fluid, and picked up four boxes this morning. So now time will tell if I can control my weight using only the 2.5% static bags. Having said that, I would like to inform readers that for an 85-year-old 100% disabled Navy Vet, I am feeling exceptionally well at this point, working hard in the yard, and looking forward to living. Yes I have to pace myself, and yes I have to rest regularly, but things are getting done. I even laugh and smile occasionally. Life is good.
Yesterday exactly on time as advertised, our roofer and the USAA Insurance estimator showed up and investigated hail damage on on roof from the May 9 hail storm previously reported. The estimator found that our roof had sufficient damage from the storm to necessitate replacement, along with several of the gutter guards, and the door to our single garage also has dents in it. All of this info was sent back to USAA and I have been informed (via phoncon 5/14/2024) that our claim is in the mill and should be completed within a matter of day.
Lastly for today’s blog, after years and years of a certain cereal for breakfast, in response to constant nagging as a result of my labs reporting I need more protein, with the help of my wife, I’ve worked eggs and sausage into my breakfast routine. I’ve also included “smear case” for supper on occasion.
