Hi Everyone....
Tami woke up and had a big french toast and rested for awhile......then Debra, the Hope Lodge Manager came down and told us there was a leak in the basement where we stay and we needed to move.  For any of you who have been there lately and seen all the medical supplies Tami has in the room, that was quite the undertaking.....but we had all day to do it and I finished with some help at about 10:00.  The night manager, Louise and another caretaker saved me about 6 loads down two flights of stairs and carrying heavy boxes and bags.
 
We really didn't start to move until the home-care nurse left about 12:45.  I started packing and organizing things into boxes but the actual move wasn't until afternoon.  The nurse came to help Tami change some of her attachments and care for her open wound that now looks really good. 
 
We are now on the 2nd floor where there are 5 bedrooms.  The stairs come from the ground floor and follow up a beautiful winding stair case.  the 1st landing has a sitting room with stained glass windows over a circular landing that is really beautiful.  We are in adjoining rooms with a bathroom in the room Tami is sleeping in.....Wow.....that's a first, our very own bathroom.
 
We will miss the T.V. room downstairs but Tami said she really needed the move.  She says it's like a new beginning and the  rooms we are in are bright and beautiful with many windows.  Most of all, we are just happy to have a wonderful place to stay with helpful and concerned people.
 
Tami didn't feel very well all day and stayed in bed a large part of the day.  We try to figure it all out, but just can't.  She felt a little better this evening and so she wanted to watch "The Help" again tonight.  I think it gives her strength to keep fighting and inspires her to hang in there.  So, that is why I'm so late with the blog.  It's now 2:00 Massachusetts time and I've had a big day.  We didn't go outside once today but still got lots of exercise...(All for the good!).  Abby, Brent and Kemper are coming to visit tomorrow at 11:00 so we can show off our new digs.  We hope all is well at home and with all those we care about and love.....
