Three Free

Three Free days!! that is what Terry and Alyce get. Free from having to get up early to go to UAB and wait your turn to get poked and prodded and stuck with a needle. Free to do what ever they feel like doing. Free to go out on the deck when they get up in the morning and just sit and listen to the birds chirping and watch the sun glisten on the lake and peek through the leaves on the trees surrounding the house. (Sounds like I hope retirement will be in a few years.) Terry is doing a little better every day so today the doctors said don't come back until Monday morning. Although he is feeling so much better, he is still very weak. He has not even felt like dropping a line from the pier in back of their house or picking up his guitar to pick out a tune. When he has not felt like doing those two things, you know he is not feeling well at all. But with time and getting a little stronger each day, I know it will not be long before he will be enjoying those things that bring him such pleasure in life again. They moved Mom to the 6th floor at Trinity today about lunchtime. Butch stayed with her until I got there about 1:30pm. I hoped to see the doctor but he did not come by to see us. I had to leave at 8:30pm when visitor hours were over. You cannot go to see her without having the code to get in to her hallway. It is locked up tight and they do not even have a phone or TV in her room. I hated to leave her tonight because she was scared and confused about where she was. I hope she will not be there long and we can get her in a more friendly surrounding. Thank you for caring. +++++++++++ Karen
