Tires
Today brought little change to Gilly’s condition. He feels more tired than yesterday, but other than that, nothing’s new.
I was so tired last night that I set the stove timer to waken me so as to remind Gilly to take his first set of pills 2 hours after dinner: 9:50 (the anti-nausea medication). Then, my intention was to set the timer for ½ hour later (10:20) because he has to wait that long before taking Temodal. I awoke with a start at 11:20 and dashed to the kitchen to find the first set of pills gone and the second set sitting there. The timer had to have been ringing for quite some time to allow ample time for Gilly to make his way upstairs (he moves slowly these days). I am astounded that I didn’t hear the buzzer at all. I slept like a baby.
It all worked out fine in the end. If needed, he could have taken more anti-nausea medication, but luckily, he didn’t have to. In fact, throughout all Temodal sessions, he’s never taken more than the bare minimum of anti-nausea medication. I will let Yaron know that this evening, even if he’s out (as he was last night), he should call home and wake me to make sure that all goes as scheduled.
I brought my car into Merson today to purchase a new tire; the flat is irreparable. The guys asked about Gilly, which warmed my heart. I was shocked to discover that one of them periodically takes the time to read the blog. So many people make the effort to remain abreast of Gilly’s situation. He really has a following.
The fellow at the desk suggested I may as well have my winter tires put on. I laughed and asked, “Didn’t I just take them off?” Nitai came by one day in June and noticed I still had them on. He mentioned that it is high time I have this attended to before I ruin them. He even offered to do it for me, but I knew I'd have to learn to manage this sort of thing on my own. Frankly, I am ignorant in matters of my car, and not proud of it. I cannot even tell the difference between winter and summer tires). I tend to learn best on a need to know basis. Well, I now need to know. I guess I’m ready for winter!
