Another day and hoping for good news

My very first wood project as we were living in Old Main at the school for the Deaf.  No, that red headed boy in the box is not a toy but rather John Allen Lee.  The box remained until perhaps 2009 (this picture is 1972) or so.  It was painted blue and was usually full of toys.  At some point it was viewed as old and not used so it bit the dust.
Here I sit at 732 Wiggins Bay Dr and have some hope that we will get good news about Terry.  I would not bet the bank on it but maybe.  Yesterday two new doctors came in and talked to her.  One said the blood work revealed NO protein in her system.  Maybe that is the reason for her incredible weak state.  The PT person also came and tried to work with her but she said it was virtually impossible with the state of weakness Terry is in.  When Terry asked if the hospital would be sending her home tomorrow the PT person said, "you are going nowhere".  The GREAT news for sure was they again tested her for covid-19 and I am hoping the results come back today.  IF, and they should, come back negative then my hope is they will move her OFF the covid-19 floor and onto a different floor.  THEN maybe they can start to try to find out what is going on.  I should not say "start" as Terry shared with me this morning that they have been taking blood almost daily, something I did not know.  Anyway I have some hope today.  When I talked to Terry last night she did have a glimmer of spark in her voice which I have not heard for some time.  She felt good about the visit from the two doctors.
What am I doing?  Well not much of anything.  I have been on two short bike rides today.  Karl called and we had a nice chat.  That was great.  One can start to feel isolated pretty quickly in this kind of situation.
Not as isolated as this picture shows but pretty darn close!
I do know that I could do many things but really it is difficult to wrap my body and my mind around projects when I have Terry on my mind 24/7.  I thought about starting a second book but that got about as far as no place!
I know what I can do.  I can jump in the car and take a ride.  Well a ride to nowhere but still it may help.
I skipped breakfast this morning but enjoyed that FP which is always a delight.
