Saturday, December 13, 2025

 I went back to the clinic on Tuesday to have the electrode connections checked and everything was intact and none had come loose - thanks to the technician and to me for being careful.  They even called me to see if I wanted to come in early, as there was snow predicted and roads were expected to get nasty.  I did see some issues but not much.

Another trip to the clinic on Wednesday and I was able to get the apparatus all removed and, like Randy said, I am wireless once more!  They used acetone to get the glue off of the gauze pads that were holding the electrodes and that was stinky but didn't hurt at all.  Those technicians are going to get good reviews from me!

We had to move our cars out of the parking lot by Thursday morning so the snow removal company could come in and clean it out.  They do that whenever we accumulate around 10" of snow.  This year so far has been the coldest and the snowiest in many years around here but it looks like it will turn around starting again on Monday.  Since I had to move my car back into the lot later in the afternoon, I decided to get some groceries so I wouldn't run out of anything over the frigid weekend when temps are expected to be below zero with some even colder wind chills.  

I started working on Joey's haircut later that afternoon, as it is way overdue and I don't want it to be an issue while I'm gone over Christmas.  He does not like it at all, but he sure is a good boy about it.  I got the upper part of his body and his face done. 

I finished the job on Friday morning, it took about  two more hours but we made some progress this time in that he actually let me use the clippers on his legs, tummy, and rear end.  He's getting better about it all of the time.  A few little chunks of cheese every now and then really helps.
