Friday

Well it was one of those days that started around 4 Am when Nancy woke up in pain from another UTI. Wow was she ever hurting. It seems last week she was treated for a UTI and the antibiotic she was on lasted for a week and the last one she took was Tuesday night. Well apparently that was not the right medicine and it only masked the problem until early this morning. We were at the doctors office at 8 AM and the doctor sent her to the hospital for another culture and then gave her a shot. She has to go back to the hospital the next 2 days for another shot each day. At least she has some relief as of now and hopefully will finally find out what is causing all these bladder infections and receive the proper medication to cure her.

The morning found us driving to Sparta in a heavy fog with cool temp's down in the 40's. We never saw the sunshine at all today. After getting back from the doctors office Nancy laid down for a nap and felt much better. We were unsure if we could handle family coming on Saturday but as of now it seems she is progressively getting better each hour. We made a big pot of vegetable beef barley soup for lunch tomorrow and decided to eat a bowl for supper tonight. Wow did that ever hit the spot with this cool damp weather.

Nancy stayed inside and baked a couple banana nut breads for breakfast on Saturday and got a big salad ready for dinner tomorrow night as well. I ventured out as the fog lifted and the mist cleared up so I finished turning over my gardens with a shovel and then I raked the outback yard for the third time. Leaves were everywhere. There aren't many trees left with any leaves on so this will probably be the last time I have to rake this year.

Well I will close for now. We were glad to hear that brother-in-law Keith is doing well after his chest surgery this morning. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.LATER
