10-11-24 SHORT HILLS: The latest excitement started on Sunday. Gardner, Anna and Emmett were here. Emmett met the dogs for the first time and was very enthusiastic climbing all over them, especially Blue. Blue and Blanca were both very tolerant.
We all went to The Farm to see the birds, plants and especially the pumpkin patch. One of the staff saw me with the walker and gave me a motorized scooter/gadget so I could keep up with the kids while we explored. They have so many pumpkins, all sizes and shapes and colors, gourds of all shapes and sizes and wartiness, as well as skeletons, etc. Gardner and Anna bought a cartload of stuff to decorate their stoop.
Later we all went to Creekside Nurseries, quite nearby, to take Emmett to the petting zoo and for baked goods. They have the best ‘sand tarts’, very thin sugar cookies in seasonal shapes and colors—delicious. Judy went back for more the next day. Emmett fed the goats some leafy greens.
It was a great afternoon except that the brace I was wearing and the bandage on the wound both slipped down my leg and the brace was rubbing on the area of the incision. The abrasion raised a blister like one gets from new shoes. After sending out pix of the knee, Ashley and Geralyn, from the VNA, suggested ditching the brace and using Betadine on the incision and blister with every dressing change, which is what we’re doing.
