Good news and not quite as good

13 years ago

The good news first: A/C arrived - it was 97Âº in the house this afternoon, I came a bit unglued! The fellow started to install it,but needs to get 2x4 wood, because the brackets with the A/C are a bit flimsy; he will finish the job tomorrow. (that part is the "not so good")

The Doctor has arranged for a nurse to come tomorrow to check me out, likely will remove the dressings - she will be back one more time next week (good)

He also arranged for as physical therapist to work with me next week (good)

Mosquitoes are terrible (not so good)

My cats are not coming in, too many strangers, not so good) hope they will adjust (good)

A mixed bag, Linda is taking care of me, she's such a good cook! (good)

Joann is going to work tomorrow, pretty rough for her in this heat. Ron starts on his chemo medication Monday, she will her hands full. Good thing Linda is here, Steve and Dana are standing by.

And so it goes around and around...

Hopefully the not so good will join the good soon.

Hope you get your A/C today. The heat is miserable. Read that today it might be 40C in Frankfurt - and almost no A/Cs.
I am glad that a nurse will check you out, beats going to the hospital for a check when getting there hurts. My cat does not like visitors either, she disappears until they are gone and then she complains for an hour.
Just be carefull and hold on to that walker.

One thing, I'd hope you remember--medical science has advanced by leaps and bounds since your dd was a child. I know, even with a procedure my DH had about 5 years ago, and had to have repeated this year, there was vast improvement. I'd be willing to bet that the treatment today is better and hopefully more effective than what you were told many years ago. Wishing your daughter the best. As to your other news--Fantastic, the very best to you and your children.

I have Kirkland Ultra Clean Premium powder with the Catch and Release Technology, sent to me from Tideman, Thanks buddy...its really good detergent, to bad this ones been discontinued. I think SUN makes a lot of store brand Pods. I picked up a bag months ago at Martins grocery was their store brand, looked and smelled exactly like ALL Stainlifter pods which I have really liked ever since Mich sent me a boat load of them, Thanks Mich. They do an excellent job of cleaning and removing stains, low suds and clean rinsing. There's not a lot I have to say about pods except the ALL, Tide F&G, and Persil ProCaps...all three of these are wonderful IMHO.

Since your message was posted at "0.28" on 7/10/10, I'm hoping that by now, the A/C installer will have gotten the 2x4s and have the A/C up and running! Maybe not, though, b/c it's 3:05 p.m., my time, so it's just past Noon where you are. Anyway, hope it gets done today!

Thanks for letting us know how you're doing. Maybe since you have to rest a little more, it'll give you more time to visit the GP. :>)

The A/C guys came first thing in the morning and it is up and running, sure makes a difference!
Hank and the other guy are actually handymen/small job contractors and were working on someones barn as main job, doing the A/C as "time permitted" but obviously cleared it with the main employer to do my work fist,. I did pay them a bonus and they were happy - not as happy as I, though.
The nurse came, checked me out, took the bandages off. She's nice and will be back next week.
