14 June 2010 – Monday

Some P-day! Mary called to tell me that she was not getting out of the hospital today so I made a long list of things to do. Some could be taken care of by telephone but there was still a lot that could not. I bought and took a food order to Enseleni. While I was there I dropped off a note from the Hafens at the Seokas and stopped by mama Zulu’s to give her the material for three more curtains for the windows in the library. She was happy to have something to do for the church.

I stopped by the hospital to see Mary and deliver some things she asked me to bring. She is feeling fine but is not looking forward to the surgery to put in a new drain so she can use the portable pump. After lunch and a nap, I went back to see her and she was again asleep. I told her that she should be well rested by the time she gets out.

About the time I was getting ready to leave her they came in and said they were taking her to the operating theatre. So I waited until they were wheeling her out and said I would see her at 7:00 during visiting hours. I ran some more errands – there seems to be a never ending supply – I decided to go back to the hospital and wait for her to come out of surgery.

I had a nice long wait but the smile on her face when she saw that I was there was well worth it. I did not stay long after that because there were too many nurses trying to check her out and get her plugged in. Later I did call to see how she was feeling and to wish her good night.

Cindy called from Disneyworld to check on her mother and we had a nice talk. I also got to talk to Krista who seemed to be having a great time. They will be heading home tomorrow.

I spent part of the evening cleaning up the living room – it really needed it because my bachelor life style is not very neat. I still need to attack the kitchen and the bedroom but that will have to wait until tomorrow.
