Flakey connection, and hospital visits
Aug. 6th, 2005 11:39 amOur cable modem connection has flaked out the last two mornings, and come back around noon. Last time this happened it was low signal level. The guy came today (happily while it was not working), plugged his blinkenlights into it, and agreed there was something wrong, but they'd need to send a lineman out; he's just an installation and basic troubleshooting guy. Oh well. The original estimate was for HIM to show up on Monday, now they say the guy who can actually fix it will be out on Monday. So I guess I'm ahead of the game.
It's probably a broken seal allowing things to get wet, and starting to work when the sun dries it out. But it's probably in a box up the road somewhere.
We visited J a couple of times yesterday. She got up and walked to the door and back. Checkout is now delayed until Monday. She says walking isn't bad, but getting up and back down again is NO fun; she's quite sore. But she's off IV mostly, on oral painkillers, so things are progressing about as expected. The next few weeks are going to be slow for her.
I've spent the last day removing land mines from the house; she doesn't need to be dodging crud on the floor, and if I make the passages as wide as possible, it's (barely) conceivable that the damn cats might get out of the way. OK, that's a pipe dream, but at least she'll be able to go around them or kick them out of the way. Hopefully by Monday I can have the house fairly safe for her to navigate.
