First week

Well, it is exactly one week since I started vacation and cancelled my trip to Bolivia. It hasn't been an easy decision and the travel warning is still in effect. But I have been busy. Thursday the pool lining was installed and so I was there to help monitor that. Thursday night Daniel experienced some sharp arm, shoulder and breathing pain very suddenly. Hadn't let up Friday so he called the Dr. who sent him over to the ER. As she explained to me...'when you get YOUR AGE there is too much chance it could be a heart attack. Oh well, so Friday afternoon and early evening (as soon as I finished helping Kelly get Valerie in to a doctor for a very nasty abcess) I was up to the hospital with Daniel. Everything seemed to check out so they sent him home to rest the weekend and try to settle the pain. I was itching to get the yard back in order, but we just had to be patient. Kelly had surgery on Tuesday and so Monday I helped her get some paper work with the state filed and her blood work and then Tues I was up to the hospital. During her surgery, the power went out at the hospital, a fire in an air vent and an elevator stuck. So it was an eventful time in the hospital! She had a cyst the size of a grape fruit asperated. So now, the last two days I've been taking care of Valerie so that Kelly can recuperate. So my week home has been eventful and busy to say the least. This isn't exactly what I had in nmind for the beginning of my vacation, but God brings into our lives and we must take each day at a time. By the way, Chest exrays on Daniel showed a very small spot on his lung and so the doctor wants to wait three months to monitor that. Of course, in the back of my mind is myexperience with lung surgery, and I trust he won't have to face any of that.
Read in the papers that there is one possible solution for social security - make the retirement age 69! Can't see that! Of course, then it wouldn't be retiree's working at McDonalds. They'd be regular employees.
I don't have anything witty to say....just trying to keep in touch.
