Saturday

Kate flew home today which I am sure little Molly will be thrilled to see her again. Kudos's to Eric for also taking over both duties in short notice. I think the meds are taking their toll on me as I am really low on energy and that is not Phil. I am trying to learn how to ask for help yet I also need to take care of Phil which means not getting busy. I would love to talk to all, see all and visit but for some reason it is so draining. MY FAITH is strong and how I would love to worship this weekend but with my immune system suppressed and I have to be as healthy as possible I have to take care first. Thus I will miss church this weekend. All are being so wonderful and helpful and I thank you all. I have no idea how Beth is doing what she does keeping my meds straight and the shots. She is becoming a real pro at this, of course the shots increase from two to three a day in a couple of days so lucky. I am so grateful for Strong Hospital and all the fantastic care they are giving me and have given. Now I need to rest, take care, follow doctor's orders to the letter and get a good review Friday for surgery. Thank you all for your care, thoughts and prayers. I wanted to add and say Thank you to Kate for coming so far, leaving her little one and husband behind to assist. Kate was a real trooper assisting Beth and watching me like a hawk. I know at times I was a pain not wanting to give in, but Kate let me get away with 'nothing' and I mean nothing. She made sure I towed the line and I want her to know I listened and I will. Thanks to Jim, my brother for mowing my lawn for me, it is hard to accept help for tasks I should be able to do on my own. Again thanks to all as this has happened in such a rush to me I still haven't taken in all in.
