09.04.2010 Saturday Labor Day Weekend

The Gnaps left for Barberton, Ohio this morning. We are waiting on Home Health Care to arrive for the Saturday dressing. It did, indeed, rain a little bit this morning. The wonderful act of putting all the stuff back into the Studio turned out to be a blessing in disguise because the stuff was put in just to get it out of the rain, so that means that it all has to be brought back out, organized and returned. Good and bad.

Calls and emails about Dorothy's condition took a good amount of time. It was bittersweet seeing her in her pleasant condition, as it made it easier to "let her go" but also clouded our former memories of her as alive and vibrant. Kind of a limbo day. I should be hitting the books, but I'm doing well to check Blackboard occasionally and send an e-mail or two. I am so thankful for the understanding about this entire situation. It should actually be easier once Dorothy is at peace. We all won't be so jumpy with each telephone call.

The Home Health Care nurse was very chatty and had a husband who had survived the same condition about 10 years ago. It was good that she wanted to share what worked and didn't for him and also that he made a full recovery and was wiser for going through it.

We were both tired enough to just sit and watch movies this evening.
