February began with Joe being released from the hospital after a bout of pneumonia. However, after being home for only three days, he was admitted to the hospital again. It seems his lungs were still full of fluid. After another short stay though he was released and put on oxygen for the next six weeks.
Appointments were with the infectious disease doctor, a neurological phychologist who conducted a series of tests with Joe to determine the extent of his vascular dementia - he he currently below the average of people his age. He also had an appointment with a skin specialist who removed a skin cancer from Joe's chest.
In the middle of the month while taking out the trash one Sunday morning, I stepped into a snow-covered hole and popped my left knee cap. I wound up driving myself to the emergency room and after a series of x-rays I was released to go home on crutches. The next day I had an appointment with an orthopedic doctor who told me that (in laymen's terms) I had a severe bone bruise. No surgery needed thank goodness! Just several weeks of recovery and careful walking.
