Our Poor Friends

Tweet

Remember my friend with cancer? She’s still receiving treatment once a month in New York and just returned to Florida last week. I haven’t had a chance to see how her numbers are doing, because we are all more concerned with her husband. He was too ill to fly back with her. He has congestive heart failure, COPD, and just had aortic valve surgery yesterday. She told me the surgery went well. We had to cancel our New Year’s Eve plans, because he was feeling so poorly. I invited them to dinner about two weeks later and he seemed well enough, but his legs were so swollen, he kept coughing, and fell asleep in mid sentence. I am so worried about them both. On a better note, hubs took me shopping yesterday. I’m at the dentist wearing one of my new outfits. As soon as he gets his crown work done, we’re going out for brunch where they serve delicious 5 egg omelettes, homemade fried potatoes, and huge slices of homemade breads along with a doggie bag!
