Thusday the 8th was my pre-op appointment for the cataract surgery on my right eye. All set for that on the 14th. We stopped by the Central Texas Hospital to deliver 15 baby hats I had made over the last few months. The dust bowl that came into our area is much worse today. I'm glad we don't have sinus problems to this stuff. It's nasty. On Friday we headed up to Debi's for the weekend. Ryder is taking swimming lessons and we got to watch him. He is doing very well. Will be advancing to the next class soon. Most of Saturday the 10th was spend at the pool. Fixed a big dinner with the neighbors that night. Besides Ryder we had the neighbor's granddaughter plus a neighbor boy. Dessert was cupcakes. The 3 of them were covered in icing. Such a sight to see!! Sunday started out in the pool, then Debi, Lee & I went to the movie -- "We Are The Millers". We headed back home on Monday morning.
Lee had an appointment with a cardiologist on Tuesday the 13th. He's been having some problems with dizziness and our doctor wanted to make sure it's not heart related. They put a holter monitor on him for 48 hours and scheduled him for a echogram and stress test on the 19th. I wish I could have taken a picture of the waiting room. Except for one -- the "old" folks were either texting on their phones of Ipads. What a riot!! Wednesday the 14th was my big day --- eye surgery! Things were better when he did the left eye --- but WOW --- it's great now. NO MORE FOG!! Went back to the doctor on Thursday morning for a checkup. All a-ok. Go back in another week. Lee was able to turn in the holter monitor also.
On Friday we rode over to check out a double wide for sale. Not interested in this one, but it looked good on the internet. Did a quick stop at Bucees and checked out a new Hobby Lobby that will open soon in the shopping center across the street. Weather was still in the 100's. We are now at 29 days at 100+. Saturday and Sunday were much needed quiet days. We both read and watch the races and I included some knitting time. Monday the 19th was Lee's stress test and echogram. Results will be discussed with him on September the 3rd.
Tuesday we tried out our new boiled egg maker. It doesn't take much for us, but this item is definitely one of the coolest. Weather has improved. High has been in the 90's with lows in the 70's, but we still have a dust bowl all over the area. Thursday the 22nd was my eye checkup. Excellent result - next appointment in 3 weeks. Friday we cleaned out the closet, drawers, etc. We want to get items to storage that are not needed when we go to Rockport. Hopefully the weather will cool more so we can work on straightening up a couple areas in storage. Did a major cleaning in the rig on Saturday the 24th, and of course watched the race. I also washed the stuffed animals. They were in an area that collects dust. Decided to sack them up and take to storage for now. I don't want them ruined. I do believe Lee got a picture on them drying out.
GOT RAIN on Monday the 26th!!!!!! More rain on Tuesday!!!! But - not enough as usual. Thursday the 29th we rode into San Antonio to the Bass Pro shop. GOSH - that place was huge. Met up with the Duck Dynasty crew!!!! Lee was really excited - he has been to Bass Pro and Cabelas all in one week. Friday morning we headed to Debi's for the holiday weekend. This is the last holiday for the summer, so the river and campgrounds will be packed with thousands of people. Dinner was great on Friday night. Chad fixed fresh fish on the grill. This was fish he caught when he was in Port Aransas the prior weekend. Saturday Lee, Debi and I went to the Cedar Park Market Days. Met up with Todd, Chelsea and Ryder. We all went to Longhorns for lunch. Chelsea went home to put Ryder down for a nap, Lee and Todd headed to Cabelas, and Debi and I headed to Bealls (shopping for capris). Sunday the 25th Lee and Todd headed back to Cabelas. Can you tell they really like that place?!?!?! Debi and I did some miscellaneous running around. I'm restricted from going in the pool for another 2 weeks, so we found a reason to run around (to HOT to just sit outside). Lee put a brisket on the grill while Debi helped me get on Facebook. I said I would NEVER get on it -- so as the old saying goes "don't say never". On Monday September 1st Lee and I headed home. Got all unpacked and then just kicked backed and relaxed. Lee was really tired from all the excitement of going to Cabelas (LOL). Even Scooter was wore out. Got some new hot sauce and it was HOT!!!!! Todd and Lee even found me a new purse, I politely declined. Haha
I usually update the blog on the first of the month, but decided to wait so I could give an update on the tests that have been run on Lee the past couple of weeks (consultation is September 3rd). He has some thick areas on the heart, some PVC's and PAC's showed up on the holter monitor. The stress test was GOOD! Doctor is not concerned at this time. It appears to be inner ear problems. If problems continues he will be send him to an ENT specialist. The doctor recommends exercise 5 days a week for 1 hour each day, watch diet more closely so he can lose some weight. At least we know it's not his heart!!!
We heard on the weather last night that August was the second hottest day in Canyon Lake history there was a total of 38 days so far this year of over 100.
A month ago I told Ryder that he had an "alfalfa" when he came out of the pool (his hair sticking up). He has not forgotten it. Now when he gets his hair wet he tells everyone.
Take care - until next time
