Sunday evening, not like the beach

Dear Ones,

Sunday evening and Nan is lying on the couch in the family room resting. She and Sharon went shopping to town today and came home with some cute things. One is especially nice, a little folding table for space to hold her important things. They came back with meds from Longs and food from Taco Bell. Nan came back pretty tired and has been resting on the couch ever since. Well that is until she got up and directed cooking some food and then back to rest. She tried to eat a little bit but it did not work at all.

I've spent the day writing appraisals, driving comparables, keeping the wound vac working, loading the TPN, organizing my desk, looking over the financial desk with despair, bills are in piles according to dates, my life insurance lapses this evening and of course I won't be able to roll over the policy because I now have diabetes and of course kidney stones, all factors in getting new life insurance. So I will end up with a much smaller policy for more monthly fees.

Tomorrow I need to manage the following: socialize with Sharon since it is her last day, deal with the life insurance issues, continue to get appraisals out, somehow get some photos taken up in Santa Rosa, a 5 hour round trip, care for Nan as best I can, try to pass kidney stones and keep on going about my business. And hoping for checks in the mail, several came in Saturdays mail which helps cover payroll.

Well about now Nans antiobiotic will end and then we'll load up the TPN for the next 20 hours. Nan's fever is drifting upward again this evening after having a day of fairly normal temps. They bought a new thermometer in town but the instructions are written in elf size words and are tough to figure out.

My friend Art came by last night to give us a brief visit. It was great to see him. At this point I am having a tough time knowing Sharon is about to leave for home. Having her here is a dream and she and Nan love to do stuff together. Sharon is a rare person who cares and knows how to make good things happen all around her. We are thrilled that she could be here and it makes me personally sad, depressed that she has to go so soon.

It is good news that Roger is doing better in N. Carolina and at latest we have heard Dr. Glover is holding his own in Tracy.

Good night dear friends, please continue to pray that God will bless Nan with His healing of her various health issues.

with love,

tim and nan and sharon
