Stories upon stories upon stories.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I spent two weeks with Indy and Willie, two weeks where they circled me like the velociraptors in <em>Jurassic Park<\/em>, taking a peck here, a pound of flesh there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First was Indy who, after his little <a href=\"https:\/\/montco.today\/2021\/02\/twenty-four-hours-in-pandemic-parenting\/\">hospital visit<\/a> in January, needed to wear a heart monitor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For a week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I accompanied him to the cardiologist\u2019s office on the day he picked up the monitor. I knew \u2013 just knew \u2013 this monitor would be the bane of our existence during its week with us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The cardiology tech explained the equipment \u2013 a monitor Indy would wear around his neck, connected to three EKG leads on his chest, a Samsung smartphone he\u2019d need to keep within thirty feet of the monitor, a charger, a case to store it all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Indy listened, clearly stumped. Indy has never used a smartphone. Now he was supposed to use one to record his symptoms for a week? And that charger \u2013 one plug, with two wires coming out of it? Worse, each piece had different charging times. The Samsung needed to be charged daily, but the chest monitor was good for three days.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_480\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-480\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-480\" src=\"http:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7387-300x255.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7387-300x255.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7387-1024x869.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7387-768x652.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7387-1536x1304.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7387-2048x1738.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7387-850x722.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Now there&#8217;s a computer Indy might be willing to use!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I brought Indy and the equipment home. Despite Indy\u2019s ambivalence, this should have been a slam dunk. Willie was a cardiac nurse. And she uses a Samsung smartphone. She could run this thing in her sleep.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I explained the setup to Willie. I showed her how to record Indy\u2019s symptoms on the smartphone. Willie lives with Indy. Like, twenty-four hours a day. She knows he not only can\u2019t operate technology but that his Parkinson\u2019s slows his thinking. She would need to handle the monitor for Indy. Charge the different parts. Put it on after his shower. Record his symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But as soon as I finished my explanation, Willie turned to Indy and explained it all to him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWillie,\u201d I sighed, exasperated. \u201cThis technology is not Indy\u2019s forte. You have to help him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d Willie responded. \u201cHe has to learn to do it himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, he really doesn\u2019t,\u201d I replied. \u201cIt\u2019s only for a week. March tenth. It\u2019ll come off March tenth. If you don\u2019t help him, we\u2019ll have to do it all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_481\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-481\" style=\"width: 288px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-481\" src=\"http:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7388-288x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7388-288x300.jpg 288w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7388-983x1024.jpg 983w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7388-768x800.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7388-1474x1536.jpg 1474w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7388-300x313.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7388-850x886.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7388.jpg 1950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-481\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A CB radio is more Indy&#8217;s speed. Can that thing monitor his heart?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Willie reluctantly agreed, like Indy was that friend who never calls except at eleven at night to ask for medical advice, instead of her husband of five decades whom she promised to love in sickness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I plugged in the dual charger \u2013 one cord for the chest monitor, the other for the smartphone \u2013 next to Indy\u2019s side of the bed. I told Willie to charge the smartphone while Indy slept, the monitor when he showered. I said they should leave the charger plugged in next to Indy\u2019s side of the bed for the week. There was no reason to move it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe needs to keep the smartphone in his pocket,\u201d I reminded Willie. \u201cKeep it in your pocket until you go to bed,\u201d I told Indy. \u201cThen Willie will plug it into the charger for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy can\u2019t he plug it in?\u201d Willie asked. Because somehow, she didn\u2019t know what I knew, which was that the charger with two cords coming out of it would be an adventure for Indy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we have to do this for ten DAYS?\u201d Willie lamented.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I corrected her. Seven days. Just seven days. Until MARCH tenth. Not ten DAYS.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That battle won, I showed Indy and Willie the Blu-Ray player I\u2019d picked up for them. I showed them the box from Target had both the Blu-Ray and a selection of HDMI cables. My brother was going to install it that weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust leave the box here,\u201d I said, laying the box on the chest under their dining room window. \u201cEverything he needs is in here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I left. It was eleven in the morning on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When I returned at four with their groceries, Willie was gone. A gentleman in her building requires dressing changes for his surgical wounds several times a week. Somehow, this fellow qualifies for the free medical care from Willie Indy does not.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I call him my future stepdad.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With Willie gone, Indy had gotten up to all sorts of hijinks with his monitor. The smartphone was beeping. Did it need to be charged already? Indy thought so.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Actually, the smartphone was beeping because it was too far from the monitor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid you have it in your pocket?\u201d I asked Indy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d Indy said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeep it in your pocket,\u201d I told him. \u201cJust until bedtime. Willie will take it from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll come back tomorrow morning and see how you\u2019re doing with it,\u201d I assured him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But at 11:30 that night, my phone comically, tragically rang.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Willie wanted to know what I\u2019d done with the charger.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-482 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7389-300x253.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7389-300x253.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7389-1024x863.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7389-768x647.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7389-1536x1294.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7389-850x716.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7389.jpg 1895w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I reminded her I\u2019d plugged it in next to Indy\u2019s side of the bed.

He\u2019s a tinkerer. My whole life, he\u2019s spent his downtime tinkering. When I was a kid, I\u2019d ask him what he was doing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m making mickey doodles to catch yellowhammers,\u201d he\u2019d say. Except he\u2019s from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/philly\/news\/pennsylvania-congressional-map-delco-south-philly-guide-fifth-district-20180220.html\">Delco<\/a> so he says \u201cyella\u201d instead of \u201cyellow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yellowhammers are <a href=\"https:\/\/ebird.org\/species\/yellow2\">birds<\/a>, which I only recently discovered. I don\u2019t know what a mickey doodle is. Or why Indy was perpetually using them to catch yellahammers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I\u2019ve asked. But it took him forty years to tell Willie why he occasionally, randomly honks the horn when he drives. I probably have another seven or eight years to go before I find out about the mickey doodles and yellahammers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So Indy and his tinkering. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/21\/basement-instinct\/\">basement<\/a>. In the yard. With his car. Indy loves to tinker so much you could slap a green dress and some wings on him and send him off after Peter Pan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And like that other tinker, he hates Wendy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not me. The spelling. I\u2019m Wendi with an \u201ci\u201d, which he put on my birth certificate and woe to the person who spells my name with a \u201cy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So I knew Indy had conflated the Blu-Ray and heart monitor in his mind. They\u2019re both electronics, irresistible to a tinkerer. He had taken apart the dual charger, then stored some of it with the other new electronic in the house.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Blu-Ray.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s pretty much how it went for seven days.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each day I went to Willie and Indy\u2019s, Indy had taken apart one thing or another with his monitor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each day, Willie was pretty resistant to dealing with the monitor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each day, I fixed whatever had gone sideways with the monitor, then picked up some Starbucks. A consolation prize for losing the battle with Willie I\u2019d thought I\u2019d won.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As if I ever could win a battle with Willie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019ll probably outlive me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This, of course, was not the only velociraptor-pecking \u2013 yellahammer pecking? &#8211; going on. Willie, who had <a href=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/25\/you-do-have-to-put-on-the-red-light\/\">failed<\/a> her driving test, was in occupational therapy. The OT sessions were meant to break her bad habits, get her back on the road.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And I got to be her Uber, to and from the OT sessions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I pulled up in front of Willie and Indy\u2019s building, where I\u2019d been so many times each day of that week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No Willie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When I pick up Indy, he\u2019s always out front, waiting for the perpetually late me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My tardiness is genetic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I called up to Willie\u2019s apartment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No answer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I waited, to make sure the apartment phone had gone unanswered because Willie was en route.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No Willie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I called again. Nothing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll be surprised to know this is usually how things go with Willie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I parked the car and trekked across the parking lot. Filled out the COVID form with the front desk. Climbed the two flights of stairs to Willie\u2019s apartment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I knocked.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. You guessed it. No answer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I used my key to let myself in.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Willie began shouting as soon as I walked in.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not Indy,\u201d I sighed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She was browning beef on the stove. Which, you know, is exactly what you should be doing when you have an OT appointment in twenty minutes and you\u2019re thirty minutes away.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While I waited for Willie to get her act together, I collected Indy\u2019s heart monitor. Mercifully, his week was over. I could return the heart monitor to the cardiologist while Willie did her OT.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I checked the kit. Smartphone, monitor, EKG stickers\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No charger.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This time, it was Willie who misplaced it. Which could only mean one thing\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2026.Yep. It was on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That week is over now. Willie is back to driving. Indy is monitor-free.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry.
