Baked Banana Nut Bread for Neighbor

Saw my neighbor out walking her dog today. I stopped and talked to her about her husband. He is the one that has a blood clot from an unrelated surgery he had months ago. He has been out of work for several months now, taking meds to dissolve the blood clot. Good news is he is not using the walker any more. But the blood clot is still in his leg. They may have to change his meds since they are not getting any results yet. Very scary as it could go to his brain. I asked if they liked banana nut bread. Turns out her husband loves it. So I made a loaf and took it over just now. They were both delighted. And I felt good as well. Always feels good to help others when you can.

@Juliaacv Yes it really did. I feel so sorry for this family. They have to be struggling financially. He is getting disability but that is only a fraction of his paycheck. I am sure anything would help them right now.

That was very kind of you to bake some. I love Banna nut bread, too. Mom used to bake it all of the time.

@CarolDM A blood clot is not fun at all. I hope it does not go to his brain. I am so glad they enjoyed the banana bread you made. You are a good person.

This guy is in his 40s and they are trying to dissolve it to keep it from going to his brain.

@CarolDM I hope it doesn't get any worse. Do they think its moved around a lot? At the moment it is still in his leg, right?
