Getting old?

Here it is Wed and I don't see a post for Tues. What happened. It must have not appeared on here. I guess I missed again. Today Thelma had her last therapy today. She got her graduation T shirt. Now she has two of them. We went to Concordia High tonight for a choral concert. Kristin is in the womans glee club. It only lasted and hour which was good as Thelma was getting antsy. She can't take to long sitting in one place. That was about her limit. The concert was good. It is cool here tonight Supposed to warm up later. Fri is really supposed to be good so think I will finish up the leaves. I think most will be done by then. What isn't will stay till spring. They are working on Tillman road. The company that pt in the lowest bid gets the work. They are just doing in different sections. They are not doing the whole street. The company is garcia. Now what do you think the people are. Wonder if they got green cards. They seem to work one day and then take the next off. Probably won't get done till Christmas. Well that's about it for tonight Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Did it again

Missed yesterday. I wanted to put a picture of the tree out front on here so went out and took the picture but then didn't get it on the puter. Here is the picture from before

Here is the picture taken yesterday Sure looks different

Thelma had therapy today. She is sore. She says the lady really works her over. Don't know what she expects Don't know too much more Bob and Darlene have rented an apartment on Superior street in Ft Wayne, They will stay there till Darlene can travel which may be awhile. Have not heard anything from Bob today. Probably later this evening. Thats it for today Later Ron Thelma and Eli

One nice day

Boy was today a nice day. I did some more leaves. Still have a couple of trees that the leaves are hanging on . We had therapy yesterday afternoon. Went to Halls on Bluffton road to eat afterward. She has two more sessions then that is over. She goes to the surgeon on Dec 15th.
I got an email from Bob Gurney yesterday late afternoon. They took Darlene back to surgery for some bleeding in her chest cavity. I have not heard anymore since then . The surgeon said that some rest she would be okay. Prayers sent her way would be appreciated I'm sure. She is one tough lady to go through what she has. That's about it for tonight Gonna hit the shower and shave. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli.

Guess what

I missed a day. Thought about it last night after I went to bed. I was busy typing up a notice to put in our Hoosier Chatter. Since we have taken over the Retiree director job I need to try and put something in the chatter sometimes. This is for a mini rally that we will have in May. I need to have Thelma proof read it. We went for the cumaden check yesterday. She takes it till Monday and then is done. We don't need to go out to the hospital to have it checked. Had an email from Bob G that Darlene is doing pretty good. Progress is slow She is in and out. Her heart and lungs are being assisted by mechanical means. Will keep you informed. Have therapy this afternoon. I have laundry in the dryer. It should be done pretty soon. Thats about it for now Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Not much new

Today was a pretty laid back day. Went to the financial guy this afternoon. Took care af a couple of things. For those that know Bob and Darlene Gurney she had her bypass and heart valve replacement today. Talked to Bob and said it took about 8 hrs. She had a lot of scar tissue and lesions. She is in icu. Tomorrow when Thelma does blood check we might try and talk to Bob. They were going to keep her sedated till tomorrow sometime. Glad she made it through this. She has had a lot of trouble the last few years. Thelma is starting to use her cane some here in the house. Still uses the walker most of the time. She is a tough cookie. Her pain threshold is a lot higher than mine let me tell you. Thats about it for tonight. Tomorrow is Cumaden check. Maybe only one more after that. It's a little way out to Lutheran for that. Last year we did it at the Medical building on Brooklyn ave. Lot closer
Later Rn Thelma and Eli

Surgeon visit.

This afternoon we went to the ortho Dr. They took the staples out. Couple of them pinched pretty good. The dr said it looks good. They took Xrays to make sure everything was strait and in place. Good shape. The plastic looks funny in the xrays. Then later in the afternoon she had therapy. 3 more of them to go. Oh forgot to say she goes back in 6 weeks for dr.

We had one of the bacon deluxe burgers from Wendys They are pretty good. Eli likes anything with meat in it. Only part of our leaves are down. 3 of the trees are pretty bare but 3 more are still hanging on. We have two more weeks before they pick them up again. I will probably work on them this next weekend as it is supposed be nice weather.

Think that is about it for tonight. Thanks to all for your prayers and well wishes. It works. Think we are going to put the ice thingie away. We have not used it for quite a few days. Now we have two of them Might put one in the trailer for emergency's. Thats about it for tonight
Later Ron THelma and Eli

Almost 2 weeks

Tomorrow it will be two weeks since the surgery. We see the surgeon on Tue. They may take out the staples then. i think they did that on the other one the last time. Tomorrow is cumaden check. I got the leaves done this afternoon. Had to go get gas as the tractor went dry. Took Thelma with me and we went to Wendys for a quick sandwich. Brought them home. Eli liked that. He is like a little pig. Most of the neighbors did there leaves today also. It wasn't half bad. No wind which made it pretty nice.

We will probably be gone for about 3 months. Will leave in Jan sometime and not come back till the first part of April. Our retiree rally is in Ladson SC in March 23 to 28. We will head home from there so it shouild be the first part of April. Thats about it for tonight. Later all
