Linda Back To Work

Today is Linda's first day back to work at school. Today is not really a work day, they're going to serve them breakfast them tell them things about the new year. They always have changes, and on this day they are told about them. So this leaves me home alone, for I'm disabled.

Wish the summer was a bit longer for her this year, that would make it to where she could spend a bit more time with her twin Glenda who has mesothelioma cancer for which there is no know cure for.

Before Glenda took her first found out she had this mesothelioma cancer they had told her it was in the last stages and she might not have over 3 months to live. But the day prior to receiving her first chemo therapy 3 weeks ago Wednesday they did a new X-ray and a PET scan. The PET scans supposedly show where all the cancer is, from this they said the mesothelioma cancer was not as far along as they first thought, it was contained in her right lung. But there was a hot spot that showed up in her left shoulder which of yet I'm not sure what they thought or decided about that.

But hopefully she will have more time than the doctors first thought, I hope so. But of course like the doctor told her, I'm just a doctor, we doctors do not know everything which is correct even though some doctors will not admit it. But the final day of her life is up to God, not any doctor, for God is the author of life and He knows everything and His Son Jesus is the great physician.

I've got to get moving, I need to replace our kitchen faucet today, I've got the faucet already, but will have to make a trip to town to get a couple of parts that I will need. But before going I need to make a phone call to the VA to get a prescription refilled and who knows how long it will take me to get and answer at the VA out clinic where my doctor is to where I can get the doctor to write this months prescription and get it going and helpfully get it before my med runs out. Yes, sometime they let me run out, they are not great about getting things done one time and it seems they are getting no better.

Oh, I could leave a message with the VA clinic, but have found that most times they will not return my call, even if the message I leave is that I am out of a certain kind of medicine, so I have to keep calling till I get an answer and talk to a human being, at times that takes several tries.

Oh, a funny thing about our kitchen faucet, a hole has come in it, out on the end of the spigot where it bends down, every time you turn it on it sprays water in your face. At least its an eye opener early morning, maybe more so than a cup of coffee, for when you turn to the water on to get water to make the first pot of coffee for the day you get cold water sprayed right in your eyes.

And yes, the first time it did that to Linda she was very surprised and thought it was some kind of gag I was playing on her and did not think it was funny, but after realizing it was no gag she laughed about it. Even after over 38 years of marriage we still can laugh at funny things, water spraying in our face at the kitchen faucet was kind of funny.

Back to my original thought, if the summer was a bit longer, them maybe Linda could spend more time with her twin sister before the end comes when ever that will be, she lives in another town, with her back working it will be a bit harder for her to make the trip to visit with her. I wish they cold have much more time together during this time.

May God Bless,
Jerry
