Day 43 and counting

Terry

I do not have anything new about Terry.  As I suspected I have not gotten a doctor call for 3 days now.  Today should be day 4 of the 5 treatments.  According to Terry it seemed that yesterday went somewhat better.  She said she at times dozes off while the treatment is happening.  I have hopes that today or tomorrow I will get a call explaining what may happen when the treatments end tomorrow.  From a call some time ago it sounded like Terry may be ready to get into rehab after Sunday.  Not sure how that will work as she has no more use of her legs and hands than some time ago.  She is able to use her hands to some extent as she can answer the phone. I see where she did call me last night at 11:30 but I did not hear the phone.  I am guessing she was asleep and woke up and did not look at the time.  I have not talked to her today as I usually wait for her to call.  I never know when she is having therapy or eating or having a visit from the nurse so I tend to wait for her to call.  

Not yet but this from last year reminds me that garden time is almost here.  I am tempted to plant some today but will wait I think.  The phone shows that by 11:00 tonight there is a 100% chance of rain.  With the cool temps I will just wait with the planting for a few days.  

I made the decision yesterday to fly to Florida next Tuesday.  I need to pack some things in the car and then Terry's grandson Zach will come down on Wednesday.  He will drive the car to Minnesota and I will fly back Thursday.  Those darn airlines they try to squeeze money out of a person until it hurts. IF I want to pick my seat that would cost anywhere from $11-$43.  If I want to board early that would be $9.  If I want any kind of a suitcase that would be $30.  If I want to breath, oh I guess the oxygen is included in the ticket price!  Anyway I will let them pick my seat.  I will board with the crowd.  I will take a briefcase that goes under the seat and for all of that I will pay $266.20 BUT it kind of beats sitting in the car for 3 days.  It was mighty nice of Zach to speak up and offer to drive the car.   

My mystery rear driver side tire on the pick up is still holding air.  It. has been 2 days now after going as flat as one of my pancakes over a 12 hour time span!  I have not heard from Costco about the new tires, maybe I should cancel.  Well maybe NOT!

I am debating if I should go on a bike ride this morning.  I know I am a wimp now as I look at the temp of 55 and say that is kind of cool.  I will brave the cool temp and get on the bike in a short while.  

I should go to Menards and get some lawn food but I just do not trust that darn tire that holds air or gives it up depending on it's mood.  

If any people are reading this and know of a person named Kate Delaney let me know.  I received a call yesterday from a book company saying they want to have Kate talk to me about promotion of my book.  You guessed it, there is a cost to me involved.  It sounds so so genuine but I am skeptical of paying for that kind of thing.  In my world it is not a small amount of money as it is $600 I think.  I am inclined to not do a phone interview as they propose as they say that would promote my book.  I think it is a scam but then I think maybe I am turning down BIG money?!!!!!  I know I may be more than a bit delusional!

Well we are now at 9:15 and Terry has not called so I may give her a call before I go on my ride.
