Dad 254: Be Patient With the Patient

(The occupational therapist has come and gone. The laundry machines are both running. Jerry and Mom are napping on her bed. Enjoy Dad's post! ~ Tracy)
 
Derf Here! Enjoying (?) a non-sunny spring day with cool temperatures. Hoping for the weather to turn better for the weekend yard sale. (Please!)
 
Daughter Kim flew out of Portland about 5:30 A.M. to Baltimore. From there she flew on to Chicago to be picked up by Joe and return to Eureka, Illinois. Both flights were on schedule and, as I write this, Kim is on her way home in the family car. "Thank you" to Kim for all her help with her mom while she was here. Also a great big "thanks" to Tracy for driving Kim to the airport at the early dawn hour.
 
Spouse and I sit here eating some homemade soup for lunch. We await a visit from the occupational therapist. Tracy just returned with Jerry the cat after his annual checkup. Two days ago Kurt (Jerry's cat roommate) was taken in to the vet and was put down because he had a huge tumor in his tummy. After that sad day our thoughts were with Jerry's checkup. He is fine, although a bit overweight. So it was good news today. We say thanks.
 
Spouse seems to be progressing nicely. I certainly want the process to speed up. All the therapists seem to be pleased with her progress. I want more! We must have patience. Patience is not high on my list. It should be.
 
As you see, we have many things going on but our hopes are high. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks.
 
That is it for now, sooo....
 
Until next time!
 
Toodle Pip!
 
Derf!
