Blog information 2021

In March we got our Covid shots.  That was exciting.  
Ethan and Hazel came for a week in April.
Dean also came for a weekend in April.

In May, Beth invited us to share our anniversary in Roque Bluff  with Bruce and Jean.  We had a great time.  I love their cottage.  

In late June, Ethan and Hazel came for a month visit, but Tom had a stroke on July 6, so our visit with them was a short one.  

In August, Dean came again for a weekend visit.  We do enjoy his visits and he has been a good friend for about 40 years.

Tom has several occupational speech lessons for his memory and enjoyed those sessions very much.  

ON September 22, Dr. Bowmen took a biopsy on his head and getting the bleeding stopped was a major affair and now they will have to go in and do the MOHS treatment and open the spot up again to get all the cancer out.

Paster Mace has been very supportive and I could not have done all these weeks without   
 Beth and Charlie to help.  What a blessing they are.  

Tom has to sleep in a chair or on lots of pillow wedges to breathe.  It is not easy to see him struggle, but I try to focus on the positive to get through each day.  I have to stay well for him. 

September 2021

 This has been a wild year, with Covid restrictions and Tom's various flair ups medically. for instanace:

 Monday, September 27

I woke to find that Tom’s biopsy spot had bled all night, so I called the demonologist  office and was told to go in immediately.  HIs head had bled all the time in the hospital and they couldn’t handle it either.  He had an appointment at 11:00 in Rumford for his foot doctor.The demonologist is in Lewiston about 50 miles apart. 
They thought the bleeding was stopped and we left there about 9:30 for Rumford.  About 25 inures later, his head started bleeding again, but I keep driving to Rumford.  We made it just in time to get his feet checked and taken care of before heading home.  All of this so far with no breakfast for either of us, so we came home.  I called the Demonologist again and told them the problem.  They said Try  to make it by 2:00.  It is now 1:00, so off I flew and kept reasonably within the speed limit.  But we now had a little food  in our bodies for energy.

We made the trip on time and this time, he is really fixed up.  He had to come home and sit in a recliner with ice held on his head for 15 minute periods and not do anything.  I rested while Beth tended to him.  I got up later and made supper and now he is in bed and probably already asleep.
