It's been a long week. And it's only Tuesday...sigh.
The transplant testing continues, but at a slower pace, thank heavens. All that urgency was really stressful, as if the process isn't that already! We keep reminding ourselves that things will happen when they're meant to happen. Dennis is glad not to have doctor appointments every other day, that's for sure.
The home front is where that long week comment comes in. Anyone who has ever had two teenagers in the house at the same time can probably understand why I'm tearing my hair out. It's not going to stay like this, is it??? The testosterone in this place is so thick you could cut it with a knife...
Some sad news came over the weekend. Eddie Bell, one of the boys six uncles on their dad's side, passed away due to complications following surgery. The boys didn't even know him and we never met face-to-face, but we've been exchanging photos and e-mails for several years. Eddie was always very interested in his nephews lives and I'm so sorry that we never managed to have that get-together we always talked about. I need to remind myself (as if we don't have enough to remind us here, daily) that life is short and we should never, ever put off those get-togethers. Eddie was just 58 years old.
I just had my mother's family reunion the Sunday before last. I had planned to go for two summers. I didn't make it last year because I was recuperating from several operations but I made it a point to get there this year.I had to go and see the old folks I'm glad that I did. Two of my uncles are not looking so good. Well they are getting quite old now and I am surprised they are still around.
