When I do not get enough rest and I have had to get up very early the last two days, my mind and body are really starting to feel overwhelmed. I thank God that George went through his heart cath procedure wonderful on Monday. The doctor even let George go home later that afternoon.

I came home from the hospital after his procedure and found on my answering machine several messages from my friend, Betty. I had forgotten we were suppose to meet that morning for Bible Breakfast. I had told her about George being in the hospital the day before and he was having the heart cath. I figured she would have realized where I was, nope she didn’t. The final message was she was clearly upset with me for “not returning her call”. I did call her back as soon as I heard all her messages. I explained how early we had got up and gone to the hospital. It took a bit to calm her down, she still wanted me to meet with her. I was so exhausted from lack of sleep the night before. There are still too many noisy, loud music cars driving in my neighborhood on and off all night. The police still have not increased patrol as they promised me or else they would be ticketing or arresting the drivers. Anyway, I begged off with Betty and apologized.

As I laid on my bed trying to take a nap, thoughts kept running through my head about how precious time is with Betty and Jane. Betty will be 90 years old in October. Jane just turned 89 in February. Both ladies have always been very active in the community and many organizations. I know I should have gone anyway with Betty. Guilt seems to plague my mind, but I have to take care of my health too.

I got up early Tuesday after another restless nights sleep. Around 8:15 my doctor’s office called about my MRI results. The nurse told me that the doctor requested for me to come into his office to discuss my MRI results. This kind of request is never good news. I informed the nurse I could not come in till Wednesday due to I had other plans already. After I hung up the phone, I sat on the side of my bed praying that this did not mean surgery.

I had asked a family member to help me today get Jane moved from the nursing home over to the rehab assisted living home. I was so amazed at how well she is walking now since she had broke her femur on April 24th. I was concerned about Jane coming out of the nursing home temperature to the outside temperature of 91. Today was the hottest day so far this year. Thank goodness Jane wanted me to bring her car, it has a great air conditioning. Jane wanted to do a few errands and go out to a simple lunch before going to the rehab assisted living home. So my family member stated he would take all the belonging over and take them to her room and just go back home. Then Jane and I had some time to ourselves for the next few hours. She also wanted to go by her condo and get a few more things. I really enjoyed my time with Jane, talking and laughing. However as the time was going by so quickly, we both realized all her suitcases had to be emptied. So we headed to the rehab assisted living home. For the next hour, I spent unpacking her belongings. After I finished, I was exhausted from the whole day and the heat from getting in and out of the car plus assisting Jane. Jane was kind enough to let me take her car home. I will be seeing her again in two days to take her for another outing.

I knew my house would be warm from the hot day and decided to eat dinner out since I was getting light headed. I enjoyed a nice tuna salad on a bed of lettuce and fruit plate of strawberries, grapes and pineapple. I am glad I ate out, because when I got home it was 87 degrees in my house. Guess it is getting to be the time to put the window air conditioning units in. Taking a nice cool shower and going to bed. Tomorrow I have to go to doctor for the MRI results on my left shoulder in the morning. Nite.
