COMMENTS:
I started to Kroger‘s at 8 AM, when I heard severe weather warnings on the radio for New Richmond. I made a quick change of plans and went to check on Dr. Vesper and wait out the storm there. Jeannie had made plans earlier to spend the day at Vespers to clear out old files and set up new ones. She had to delay her travel time because of the storm. I fed Hillary & Kemper when I arrived, but let Dr. Vesper sleep until the storm had past. He had am meds with breakfast. He was still eating when Jeannie arrived, I left her in charge while I made a quick trip to Kroger‘s. When I returned I stored food and supplies and did a few chores. I gave Dr. Vesper a shave, shower and got him dressed. Lunch in the afternoon followed by exercise and a short nap before Mary and Jennifer arrived shortly before 4p. I made dinner while he opened the mail, watched TV and took a short snooze. After dinner he visited with Jennifer and Stephanie and watched TV until bedtime.I set the table for breakfast and prepared morning meds. He took his p.m. meds and got ready for bed.

NOTE:
Between the time I arrived and Jeannie arrived, the predicted severe thunderstorm hit with vengeance. It brought down a big tree, this time across the driveway, making it impassable. We didn’t get the tree removed before Mary and Jennifer arrived, but shortly there after. The wind was strong enough to blow the patio furniture into the yard. Major little cleanup tomorrow!

COMMENTS:
I took care of Hillary & Kemper and did chores until Dr. Vesper woke up at 10:30. He had breakfast and took his morning meds.  I gave him a shave, shower and helped him get dressed.  Elena had invited Dr. Vesper to a graduation party for her daughter today and he promised her he would come.  We left the house around 1 PM, he had a glucerna for lunch on his way to Blanchester.    Elena’s family had made some delicious food, both American and Belizean.  Elena‘s niece is a professional pastry chef and we were treated to some very tasty and beautiful desserts. Dr. Vesper eat well and enjoyed meeting Elena‘s friends and family.  He actually met a retired schoolteacher (Elena’s next-door neighbor) who had been a patient of his.  Elena  sent us home with a large portion of leftovers.  Dr. Vesper had eaten a lot and wasn’t able to have dessert at the party, but he enjoyed a sampler plate of desserts when we got home. After a short break, we did  physical therapy, since we didn’t have time to do it this morning. I gave him his p.m. meds and he got ready for bed.  I set the table with morning meds and breakfast for tomorrow.
