Update from NC 3

 Today’s picture:

Many years ago, my boys did out-grow me, here they are making me look taller., LOL  Thanks guys!


Now for today:

Staying busy getting our new to us home ready to move into. Still in the RV. Having trouble with my beautiful wife. She wants to jump in and do stuff, I am still doing the cooking, trying to do the cleaning and washing.

She had gotten out for a couple local trips, one main one was to get the new appliances we need. They will be delivered next tuesday.

I am trying to keep my days down below hours, but at times I go 10. Most of that is looking for misplaced tools, imma thinking I am the worlds worst. As an example: Today I spent close to an hour looking for my ever needed screw gun. I found it of course, making me feel ‘dumb.’

Sorry, about the absence, but things are looking up. The Doctors here are behind and her REAL appt. is not until next month. Blood is high some days some days normal.

I am told that is normal for a-fib. OUCH.

PS:

My mama caught me in 'A -FIB' several times and things did not go well for the kid.

Thanks so much for the update. I've been wondering how things are going. You both continue to be in my prayers ! Take care and keep healthy!

LOL- A-FIB can certainly have different meanings. I am praying for Sherry AND for you because being a caretaker and always feeling like you are "on watch" is not an easy task. I will be glad when she has her appointment and you can get some answers to your questions.
Hang in there, Jack. This life is not for sissies as we well know. Love and hugs to both of you- Diana

Yeah, that’s exactly it. It’s the kind of situation where nothing feels smooth or easy, but you still show up, sort things out, and keep the household running while life throws a bit of everything at you.

There’s something solid in that too, even if it’s tiring.

Glad things are going well. Are you planning to stay there for a while now? I hope it is cooler there than it is here in Florida right now. It's close to 90 degrees here this afternoon. We jumped over spring right into summer, it seems. Praying for your Sherry, and hope that she will enjoy being "home" once things are settled. Please do stay in touch as you are able, and take things one day at a time!! Yeah, telling "a-fib" was always cause for trouble...

I have AFib too. Was diagnosed in Nov of 24. I take medicine and haven't had any problem in all that time.

Thank you so much for this update, Jack. Prayers and positive thoughts continuing!

PS - Love this image of you and your "little" boys!

I am so glad to hear from you. That Sheri is okay. This is kind of an odd coincidence - a couple weeks ago I found out I was in A-Fib and had been for a while. I didn't even know what it meant. I was kind of shocked. Lots of meds now and doctors. Prayers and hugs. Good night.

Continued prayers for sweet Sherry and her beau, who I’m sure is worrying about her. Take it easy Ms Sherry. Love you both, Sheila

I'm glad Sherry is doing well and she has her hero to watch over her and you are wonderful to do all that you have on your plate! Tomorrow is the sabbath..rest up both of you!

Jack, I'm only 63, and I seem to misplace stuff all the time. And even though I'm decades younger than you, you know good and well you could work me under the table--and that not even included skilled labor!

Love you and your wife, old friend.
