Friday Night LATE Update

It's late and I'm not sure where to start! This has been a hurry-up-and-wait kind of day! Mid morning, the final decision was made to move Sharon to a Rehab Hospital TODAY! We knew yesterday that was where she was going and kinda' made preparations to get the job done. Every thing was good up until, ooops, she has to GET there somehow! It was only a couple of miles so that shouldn't be a tremendous problem, right? Just get the ambulance to take her over, since she has not walked more than 50 feet since the op! Nah! Too easy! Nobody will PAY for it except ME! OK, what's the cost? Wait, did you say five HUNDRED dollars?? Gulp! Ok, there's always the GeoVan! Nope! She can't climb UP to get IN! OK, I'll rent a sedan so she can sit! Oooppss! Too late! None available! Drat!!! God works in mysterious ways! He led Ron Leach, a deacon from Prestonwood BC by while I was out on an errand. Sharon and Ron were discussing the transportation situation and Ron made the offer to call him if nothing else developed. Hello, Ron? I called him and we made arrangements for him to come by after a late afternoon meeting and give Sharon a ride over to the new location. Thank you, Ron! We all need to give Ron a standing ovation for his generosity and kindness! (Sound of clapping and cheers!)

That was the largest drama of the day, but there were other little ones tucked in the daily routine. It just keeps us on our toes and makes us appreciate the kindness from those around us!

Sharon is now in the:

Integra Hospital Plano,
Room 263
2301 Marsh Lane
Plano, TX 75093

We are not sure exactly how long she will be there. Could be a week or 10 days. Our goal is for her to have the strength and endurance to be able to get out of bed and make it around the house, and, just as important, get in and out of the vehicle. That somehow seems a little more important tonight than it did this morning!!

Thanks to all who have called to see how it is going here! We appreciate the warm telephonic hugs and, trust me, they are indeed welcome!

Better run and get some shuteye! Might be a long day tomorrow!!

Cheers!
