Shortly after my last
blog, and one day before Mary Ellen’s leg surgery, my 93 year old sister died.
We left for Ohio the next morning. We got back to Akron in record time (for me) of two days. My
niece, Mary, did a wonderful job of planning the funeral. Everything came off
exactly as my sister would have wanted it.
Mary Ellen’s surgery has
been rescheduled for this Wednesday, March 21st at 1 p.m. The
surgery is called an aorta gram with stent placement. The problem is in the
right leg which is 90% blocked. If all goes as planned, she’ll stay overnight
and be discharged Thursday morning.
Doctor Razek told her she will be a new woman and I’ll never be able to
keep up with her. I think she’s looking forward to this. Maybe a little more
than I’d like!
Last night the “bumpity
bumpity gang” and friends held a carry in down at the newly erected ‘gazebo’.
It doesn’t really look like a gazebo. I like to call it the ‘outer deck’. The
outer deck is on the sand closer to Santa Rosa Sound. That would make the
‘inner deck’ the one attached to the pavilion. We had twenty four people and I
think everyone had plenty to eat and drink. The ‘outer’ and ‘inner’ decks is my
way of differentiating the two decks. Any of you who cares is certainly welcome
to use this copyrighted nomenclature.
This evening about thirty
of us met at the Cactus Flower restaurant to wish two of our camp workers well.
Leon and Lillian are moving to Cherokee, NC. They will both be missed.
Tomorrow is Saint Paddy’s
day. We are planning on meeting some friends at the Beach Monkey on Navarre
Beach on the Gulf. The Beach Monkey has a huge deck. Tomorrow they will have a
DJ and I’m sure some unplanned entertainment. Should be a fun afternoon.
Happy Saint Patrick’s day.
