Jackson Calendar

How to add your event to the calendar

Fill pill container
Do NOT put pills for today's date. (If it's Saturday, fill columns Sunday through Friday.) Dad leaves the little doors open after he takes pills. Leave them open.
Dad takes Miralax on his own. There's nothing you need to do for that.

He has a second pill container in the right hand drawer below his TV. It contains pills for a week. This is just in case his primary pill container runs out without a timely refill.

Check his phone
Call Ken's phone (541 969-1882) to make sure it rings loudly. Sometimes he turns down the ring volume by mistake and does not hear incoming calls.

Ask about mail
Tom pays Ken's bills. Ask him if there are bills (or other mail) that Tom should take care of. If Tom will be back in a few days, this is not necessary.

Fill his water
As you enter Ken's bedroom there is usually a plastic, lidded water bottle (or 2) on the dresser to the right. Fill this with water and put the lid on tightly.

I moved Ken's condition into a separate document. Open it here.

It's in this shared folder, with other docs about his life after 100.

Photos of Ken beyond 100 are here.

The front porch lights and chandelier near the stairway are on timers. They come on around dusk and stay on all night. Please do not mess with them.
There are separate thermostats for the main floor and upstairs. Kitchen heat is not on.
There is no cable TV. All TVs, except the sun room, are connected to antennas that receive Portland channels and Spokane. Some days are better than others. All TVs have Rokus, Apple TV, or Fire TV Sticks for streaming through HDMI.
Garbage pickup is on Tuesday around 8AM. Please have the can out on the street early that morning.
Extra paper towels and TP are in a closet in the downstairs bedroom.
