We Two are Improving

It is good to feel well enough to write the blog today.  Vertigo can be very debilitating.  I kept using all the tactics that I have used in the past ( acupressure, positional changes in the head etc.).  I finally gave up and am now relying on good old dramamine.  Even though it makes me very sleepy....it seems to work.  I was able to keep a much needed hair appointment with Betsy's hairdresser in Raleigh.  Dennis came over and drove me there and back.  When I stood up to leave I almost fell over some of the furniture ................very embarrasing.  A kind receptionist helped me out to the car.  So, as you can guess I have not been able to stay with Lee at the hospital.

Lee is doing much better.  From his report, he has had a good day.  His heart rate is still regular and his blood pressure is good.  After Dennis dropped me off he went to the hospital to spend some time with Lee.  He also took some mail and the phone charger.  Now he can communicate with those back home again.  It has been hard to stay away these past two days but I know that I must do that.  It could be that I have a "bug" that is causing the nausea and vertigo and do not want to pass that on to Lee.  Elizabeth and Doug will be here Friday and Donna is coming Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday morning.  Thank goodness for the help.  While talking to Lee today, he still has a chest tube in and I know he cannot come home until that has been removed.  It looks like another week-end in the hospital.

The next time one of you is headed this way, we are accepting a few good tomatoes out of your garden again.  Are you there Midget R.?  Thanks for the offer again....We need to reimburse you for all your trouble.

Once again we have had an unbelievely hot day in Durham.  99 today with heat index of 105.  Very hot.  I'm sure the same is true for the rest of you.  Fortunately we all have air conditioning and the condo is very comfortable.  It is so hot that no one uses the pool because the water is as warm as bath water!  Fall will be a most welcomed Season.  We are hoping that it works out for us to return home before the end of Fall.

More Later..........................................................Brenda
