It is hard to believe all Tom and I have been through together in the last six months. From broken wrist to broken hip to major heart surgery to bouts of pneumonia and two trips to ICU. We have had our ups and downs; with me in tears when the ICU doctor told me he wouldn't make it. Well, lo and behold, he got the news from his primary doctor that he won't have to be on oxygen for much longer (only until his lungs heal and strengthen) and he will be able to go back to work as a starter at The Hombre possibly as soon as two months. I hope I am that determined when I am 86 YO! His doctor is very enthused by his progress.
On Saturday, he will be moving to Belvedere Commoms on Panama City Beach to be closer to his golf buddies and work. I have been shopping all week for him. It is a very nice facility. He has two large rooms with a kitchenette and a handicapped accessible bathroom. I picked up a 32" Vizio LCD HD TV that the handyman will mount on his wall for him.
His longtime friend, George, who's a realtor, found Belvedere for him. He checked it out while I was back in Maine and kept me posted on openings. What a big help he was in putting this all together.
Wednesday, I am flying back to Maine. That will give Tom some time to let me know if he needs anything else from home.....
As a result of the last six months, I am thinking of going to nursing school. Is fifty-six too old to switch gears? I think not. I should have done it earlier instead of going to business school.
