So the school had parent-teacher conferences today. It worked perfectly as Bob had an appointment in Wichita. So we visited the Ear, Nose, Throat doctor regarding the tubes that our doctor thought were still in Bob's ears--they were not. His hearing aids need to be refitted but the doctor says his ears look healthy. Also visited about the frequent nosebleeds. They ended up cauterizing the one that is problematical. From there we drove to El Dorado, ate at Burger King, and got our taxes done at Wal Mart. After we got home Bob napped the rest of the day. We ate things that I had already on hand and now I need to go do some more house chores. Laundry tomorrow. And pick up a prescription in Newton for some soothing cream for his nose. Always something.

Sounds like a good visit and time out. It's nice that there is some soothing cream.

I really hope that fixes his nosebleeds.

I have capillaries in my right nostril that are close to the surface; and during dry weather I get nosebleeds. They cauterized that nostril which was very unpleasant. I hope that helps Bob. You got a lot done.

I'm glad somebody did something to help with his nosebleeds. Hopefully, that's all he needed. I'm glad he got some rest after you guys got home. And yeah, housework never ends... I've just done dishes for the third time today.
