It is Told
It is told we had two inches of rain yesterday. A vacation for harvesting farmers for a short time, The rain and winds from the north have kept it cool today. The sunshine could fool anyone into thinking it was warmer.
Today is Thursday and today is the first day since Friday, I have stayed home for the entire day. I did call Dennis at room 108 this morning. As luck were, our family doctor was in seeing Dennis. Dennis will have surgery tomorrow. It is four this afternoon and we still do not have a time for checking into the Mankato hospital tomorrow. I remember from surgery times in the past, schedules are not set until late in the previous day. My only hope is that it’s not scheduled before daylight . . . but we have no choices in the matter.
Tomorrow is recycling day. Our bin is at the curb and I added more to it today. What I did run into was a copy of a PDF dated Monday, September 21, 2009, from the Eagle Extra newspaper. It was the quote of the day by Victor Hugo, 1802-1885: “Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.” Very profound and still good advice today.
It was seven last night before all three patio porch kitties were home for the night. It was raining, but their coats were dry. They have dry hiding spots under large leaf Hosta while keeping an eye on the patio porch door to be let in. They didn’t get let out this morning until after ten. These four footed spoiled kitties don’t run me like they run Dennis.
My prayer is that Dennis and I both will be tucked in safe and sound in our home by Friday night. We have been told there will be antibiotic meds that will still be taken by Dennis for recovery. Time will tell.
—–Just got the phone call of the day . . . Dennis’ surgical time is 1:30 p.m. on Friday. Sweet.
