TGIF! We are looking forward to resting and visiting this week-end. It will be good not to have to go to Clinic or hospital for tests and a good reprieve for Lee from the hard work at the Center for Living rehab. We are already booked throughout the day for Monday and most of Tuesday for more studies to be done. So far Lee has tolerated all the tests and the trips to and from the areas very well. I did insist, against his wishes that we use the wheelchair. Seem that I, not Lee get very anxious if the oxygen supply drops below a certain level. I have learned almost exactly how much it takes to get him to and from the clinic, the Center for Living and the hospital and back to the condo again. The wheelchair reduces the amount he needs and helps me to relax and not fret so!
We do not know for sure but we do believe that by next Wednesday we will either be told that his name is on the list or what else needs to be done with an estimate of how much longer it will be. Everyone seems to be trying to get a lot finished before the decision meeting that will take place on Tuesday, June 15.
We have met many new friends here and we all share common stories in regards to lung conditions. Most of the wives gather in a common area when dropping off husbands or picking up. The ladies have formed a support group and meet for lunch each Wednesday @ 1:00 and then return for the 3:30 mandatory meeting for caregivers. They have invited me to join them and I am looking forward to the lunch next Wednesday. Hope all of you have a wonderful week-end and I look forward to your comments. More later..Brenda
Brenda, it seems that you can find friends anywhere you go. We are glad that you have found some other ladies to run around with.
ReplyDeleteSo when is Lee going to meet some guys and hang out. Does he have a garage or something out pack where they all can meet. Maybe that is something we should suggest, "A Man's Garage" out back of the condos, so they can have some time to be men, and maybe Lee's farming buddies will come down and hang out.
Ok, I should keep my thoughts to myself, at least that is what Julia is telling me. So we are glad all is well and you both are in our prayers.
All of us at the agency are rooting for you, Lee and Brenda! Thanks for keeping us informed via the blog. Your news is wonderful! Lee's progress must be astounding the staff! Lela
ReplyDeleteBet you guy's ears were burning this morning about 10am. Ted and I was singing you guys's praise before church this morning. We are figuring Lee will be trying to fish in the pool before the week is out and Brenda will be lying around in the sun. Keep up the good work you guys! We are your cheering team back home.
