No fever and in the apartment!


The picture on the blog today is Judy sharing her hair with me yesterday. It was so fun to have a great day with her. Today was another interesting one. Their computers were down again, so we started out WAITING over an hour on our appointment with the Internal Medicine guy. He was very nice and cleared the rest of our day so that we could get into the apartment. He had them reschedule an appointment we missed yesterday and the stuck on there for today. We’ll do it tomorrow.

It was great to get into the apartment. Tomorrow we’ll get more settled and once I have our clutter out of the way I’ll take some pictures to put on the blog. It’s a very nice place and more than adequate for our needs. We are so blessed to have this available for us. We thank God so much!

I am headed to my bath and to bed because we start early in the morning. We have to be there at 7:40. The shuttle leaves at 6:30, so we’re taking it and having breakfast and lunch there tomorrow. They have a great restaurant that has really good food and it’s very reasonably priced. We enjoy eating there. We’ll come ‘home’ (from now on that will mean the apartment) for supper. It was so good to be here for supper tonight. Don ate leftover chicken fahitas from lunch the day before yesterday and I had a baked potato. It felt good to be functioning in our ‘own space.’

Doris and Jerry are so wonderful to make us feel so at home at their place and then to find this place for us. They were here cleaning when we got here today. Jerry hooked up a high speed connection for us, so we don’t have the struggle of dial up. Wow! They are awesome! We’re sure thanking God for them and their families who have been so supportive.

God bless you all and thank you for checking on us! Another thanks to God for no fever today! God is GREAT!

  1. What a priceless picture! You look great! It's actually going to be odd when you get your hair back. Lainey is clapping her hands when you say "YEA" She's the best. Talk to you soon!

    Love you!

  2. Hi, Jilly! This picture represents priceless time Judy and I are getting to spend together. I'm so happy that she is here and free to walk us through this time.

    "YEA" for Lainey; you're right that she's the best! Thank God for her, huh?

    Love you,

    Mom

  4. Thanks, Dot, Frazier and Janie! I'm glad you are counting because I've lost count; ha! I'll be glad when that day gets here, though.

    However, I'm glad to enjoy every bit of this experience that I can because today is the only day we have. None of us have any guarantees.

    I'm thinking the day of surgery won't be much fun, but I'm going to be looking for the fun part. The best thing I can think of so far is I don't have to eat breakfast. I haven't had much appetite for breakfast for months, so Monday will be a break. Plus I won't have to drink 3 liters of water on Monday. That'll be a break and I'll enjoy that!

    Love you all!

    Jo
