ORTS MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND in Postcards 4

• I’m settling down for the long haul in my favorite chair. Yes, it needs washing. Yes, the sofa and Morris chair could do with some soap and water too. They aren’t getting it quite yet. One more day at work.

• Diane: Her daughter writes in Diane’s blog Schmidley’sscribbling: “I read all your posts to Mom yesterday at the hospital. Although she cannot speak yet, I saw a tear coming from the corner of her eye. This morning she was put back in ICU for atrial fibrillation of her heart, which may have also caused the stroke. She is stabilized and will be moved back to the Acute Stroke Unit. I reminded her that many people are praying for her, and she squeezed my hand tightly. The stroke affected the part of her brain that controls alertness as well as sleep cycles, so we are waiting for her brain to heal enough so that she is more alert and can begin therapies. It is slow progress, but hopefully there will be some changes in this next week. I will keep checking back here and posting. Love to you all -Connie (Dianne’s daughter.”
• I know you haven’t forgotten another blogger, Hattie. She like Diane reads and pokes us to open our minds. Beginnning therapy for lung cancer tomorrow.

Our friend Robert has just had a kidney removed. His wonderful wife Carol keeps us updated on her blog Tehachap.

Sometimes I think we are all wearing out at the same time.

• Me: Last time at the pool this morning. Cat scan of my sinuses after lunch. Once I get both wrappings off, I will be right back in the pool at seven every morning. I do think I will cut back on the Discovery Shop work a bit once I get hand strength back. I post to their Facebook page 7 days a week, I do the receipts 3 days, I sort one day and do books another. Instead, I think I really want to go back to my writing class. I wonder if they would let me come back to work just one day a week just for the books? In the meantime, I have been bedeviled by a nurse continually calling to check on my allergies. It appears they won’t let me in the door if I have breathing problems. All this at the last moment.
• George is going back to eight hours a day with one hour for lunch. Heaven.
