We finally finished! The paint, the floorboards, the move, the sorting, the arranging and the poster hanging. The last detail was a HUGE red and white lower case initial from her first name. I was walking the dog, came across a garage sale, and there it was - two feet tall, bright red with white trim. I think it may have been part of a restaurant sign - it is clear red plastic that glows beautifully if there is light behind it. It was digustingly dirty but cleaned up well and looks awesome against one of the white walls in her red-and-white room. And I paid a quarter for it LOL.
Finding room for all of the dialysis supplies was a challenge. We had an entire closet set aside for these, but it wasn't enough. We are also using all of the space under her bed.
We discovered that she won't be able to use the top bunk if she's on the dialysis machine (one of those incredibly weird details that just wouldn't occur to you!). Since it's a bunk/futon combo, and she wants to keep the futon up as a couch, we took the bunk down, rearranged the room AGAIN, and got things all ready. It's actually a good thing, since a top bunk has lots of room underneath it when it's on the ground.
So.....we're as ready as we can be. Which is to say, we aren't ready. Not at all.
