A late start getting thread going today but I know we've all been busy Doing. Eagle, you are in my thoughts constantly.
I slept in because I truly am exhausted. Have spent most of the day getting caught up with online life ~ banking, emails reduced from 89 to zero though several still need to do something before deleting. I've stayed in touch with 'the project' throughout the day and it's moving along really well now. The Pod arrived this afternoon and there may actually be things moving into it. Hero #2 has now taken over the physical part of the move so now I can devote myself to the house.
Some very good new news, too. Things keep moving so fast it's hard to keep up.

What fabulous news, Sparkle. It sounds like your project is really moving along at lightening speed! Thank you to you and everyone else keeping son in your prayers. He really appreciates it. His surgery revealed bone involvement (osteomyelitis, the same thing that caused him to lose his right leg years ago). So the surgeon removed some bone and cleaned it up a lot. He goes back into the O.R. on Monday morning for dressing change and look at the progress of the wound after IV antibiotics. He will be in hospital on IV a.b. for 3 weeks. I don't know the results of the cultures yet, but doc suspects MRSA, so he's on isolation until ruled out (or to continue is confirmed.) Hubby suggested he will try and find me space in one of our time share spots near here, so we don't end up going into debt paying for hotels/motels while here. I hope he can find a place for me, as it would be a great opportunity to recuperate from this stress & still be close enough to visit and respond if something happens that I'm needed. I'll be meeting 3 of my brothers tomorrow for lunch with our step-mom. They had a good day fishing! Caught 3 salmon almost as soon as the lines hit the water. I've been working on getting a laptop for son to use while in hospital, otherwise he'd be so TOTALLY BORED for 3 weeks. Right now I'm in a restaurant having a garden burger while waiting for my laundry to wash in the laundromat. I'll go dry it, then back to the hospital for a visit with son. |

eagle, this is slightly encouraging but MSRA is scary from what little I know. So, once again, we are all very glad you're there right, I'm sure. That would be wonderful if hubby could find a convenient timeshare. You need a home of some sort right now. And, eagle, I urge you to consider buying son an iPad instead of laptop. All he would need is most basic model. But, wait. This would be good for while he's in hospital but he might not have wifi when he gets home. Just my first thought. If you should think iPad, though, I am now a wealth of information.  Things have moved in a great new direction re the project. P will now first be going to live at his sil house on the other side of the forest where I live. It's closer to my house than town and he will be able to work at the house during days and sleep there. He and dog will have the back part of the house to themselves and this will be so much better for dog who was rescued from an abused life and still terrified of most of the world. He can stay up to a month if necessary though I expect he'll be wanting to move asap. I still have an overwhelming amount to do but now I can breathe. I won't be able to do as much as I'd like before Friday (I am almost certain he will want to start on the house then being the driven person that he is) but I don't have to rush now to get a fridge in this week. I got the new toilet yesterday and this allows me to take some pressure off hero A to get it installed this weekend. Predictably, I am stressed about Peter starting in on the house before I'm ready and, omg, touching my stuff!  So, yesterday we sorted out a place for P to go till plumbing and at least a few other amenities are in place, got the new toilet ready to be installed, made a lot of decisions about possessions, got everybody on the same page and much, much more. Oh, and I managed to fit in a sparkly shampoo at db and am riding on a full tank of gas again. Today the Pod got delivered and filling it with family stuff to go to the ranch and P stuff eventually coming here begins. Tomorrow I will need to divert much of my attention to my favorite and last aunt who went into nursing home yesterday and is terrified. My cousin needs support because she's overwhelmed with guilt. I will have to go visit asap but its 300 miles each way so will take some planning and massive work on car. Can't be gone for long because of Tofu and leaving P alone with my stuff that he will continue moving out of the way, no doubt, consolidating along the way so that I'll lose track of where I was going. Silly hoarder panic. Maybe tomorrow I can make an actual list. Maybe I could start it tonight ...

No MRSA. He's off isolation. I was so happy about that.
