Anita called me and told me that she wasn´t feeling well. She won´t come to work today. I am very much worried about her. I do know that she has cancer (again) but she doesn´t know what´s next. She had surgery in her lung a couple of months ago and she is taking what she calls some pills while the doctors make several tests. I do know that with her basic health insurance she has to have a big illness if doctors make such fuss about her and she has immediate appointments for PET scans and the like. But she is both optimistic and ignorant and I won´tsay anything that might worry her. I only tell her that she can work only if the doctors let her. And if they don´t and she is bored at home, she can call me and come to lunch but not to work. Today she was feeling as if she had a cold. And she was coughing over the phone. I don´t know how dangerous that is if you just have had a lung surgery. I don´t have much to do here. I have some pots to clean and I´ll make a light lunch. Yesterday I asked Mario to fill the big bag of food for Luna at the terrace because I can´t do it and Anita shouldn´t do it either. He did it in a jiffy. I still have some baked trout in the fridge. I´ll boil a couple of potatoes and will make a green salad. That will be all. The only other important thing I have to do today is to cream my face and be happy that the cheeks are getting softer. What will you do today? I´ll now go to my notifications an to your posts. See you.

I worry about Anita as you know. I can do most of the house work, as you know. So I won´t get another maid as long as Anita things that she can come.

@LadyDuck My way of dealing with that is trying not to invite anyone. My house doesn´t get dirty when I´m all alone. Mario takes care of the garden. If he does not come I let it turn into a forest. I can´t work there. But neither can Anita so it is Mario or noone.

@marguicha - You cannot do everything, you need someone to help you.

Being retired and living alone means that I just do what I want to do. Except for the doctors orders.

I wouldn´t mind if Anita´s ailment were just a cold. But I dread that it could be more.

I do hope Anita will be okay. Vince had an awful cough after his lung surgery but it's almost completely gone now.

I am worried about Anita because the doctors will not tell her what comes next.

@JudyEv Thankfully Anita just accepts everything and prays for God to solve it all. I´m not that way.

@marguicha It's very annoying when doctors won't tell you much. For some people, it means they get very anxious.
