So this is my Mom, Jeanne. She has just spent much of a month here with me in Toronto saving my bacon. I'd reached the bottom of my coping skills barrel when she came to my rescue. It isn't easy returning to olden days roles, a mom and a sick kid. But we managed very honourably, I think..Hope you do to Mom!
The bug that completely robbed me of by ability to fend for myself is nicely under control as of last week. So this week I've sent Mom home to recouperate...may take her a while. All 79 3/4 years of her made three meals a day, (to my specs), made the beds, did the laundry, was my hospital workout coach and evening tucker inner. Big job. Especially when I'm so ornery about how I want what where and when.
I've had lots of visitors along the way, many from down East. I'll write about some of that tomorrow. For today, I've used up my renewed energy but am ever so thankful that I have it to use up.
Bye for now

Still no lungs. I hate to write that. I feel as if you all have done your part and I'm shirking here. But I know I'm high priority on the list. And I know I only want those perfect lungs that will be meant for me so I wait with less or more patience.
Bad news. While waiting I contracted a fungal infection in my lungs...adds to the destruction of those already miserable twins. The fix is many months of a drug that costs more than my rent! But, alas, I had fundraising to fall back on and was able to say with only a small gulp, "Bring it on".
Good news. Then, two weeks into the regime, my team sent a letter to Nova Scotia to tell them that I needed the drug and that it cost the earth. Nova Scotia, after all my haranging to get them to spring for drugs decided to pay for this one! Hallelujia! Does anyone know if there was a change in policy regarding pharmacare?
So I'm unable to stay alone with the coughing fits that require help to get through. I have my mom with me just now and soon my friend Barb Luxton will come from Halifax for a stint. The wait cannot be much more, can it?
Thanks for sticking with me. I'm doing my best.
