Glad you had a nice fathers day with your dad (eventually) I had a good one as well Billy.
It was my eldest sons birthday so the whole family got together, a lot of fun was had by all.

Sam.

Very good to hear, Sam. A Father SHOULD have a nice Father's Day, as a Mother SHOULD have a GOOD Mother's Day. Sure makes it worthwhile, huh? I'm hoping that ALL Fathers had a GOOD ONE as well!

Sam, sometimes that little

says SO much, all by itself and YOU just seem to know right when to do it!

Well, my Dad's doing okay. this is about my Wife. She got a phone call today about the results of yesterday's lab work and was told to go straight to the hospital and get Another transfusion of blood (2 units). She has an appointment with a Hemotologist (spelling?) next week to get checked over in that area.
They still can't figure out where her blood is going. $:-\$ Man, at this rate, my next project just might be a padded room.

Doing my best to take care of everyone else and when I DO happen to find a few (very few) minutes for myself, the temp of around 100 or so, wuth a heat index of about 109 - 113! My Wife had really been dragging around and out of breath. This made us wonder about her Asthma, but IT was okay. By morning, she should have some of her energy back and feel like doing things again. Only, if she gets to feeling TOO good, she'll want to start doing some rearranging and such (and she has this notion that she can't do that without my help!

But, it WILL be good to see her feeling better!

Aw Billy I really do help Brenda gets to feeling like her old self again!

We all know you have more than enough on your plate to keep you busy without any "new developments"!

Wish I were closer so I could help out in some way....

Seems to me that they should be looking for that blood loss a bit harder. We all are hoping for her speedy recovery.

And, of course David would go away a bit easier if he was given 2 houses. Why is that not a big surprise? Seems to me that the whole nursing home thing was to get exactly that. You give me 2 houses, I'll go away.

Appreciate that Dennis, She'll be feeling pretty well, in the morning, from getting more blood. Not only is she loosing blood, apparently, her system isn't MAKING it fast enough, if at all! Yeah, I wish we lived closer as well. Be cool to get together and go for a ride now and then, when I had the chance. I keep hoping that things will slow up enough, before long, that I can get something going so I can get out on an evening and just cruise somewhere. My 80' 750K is fairly close to being road ready and I will probably see if I can get the 77' CB750A going (cause, as soon as I can get THAT one going, I'm putting the sidecar on there and free up the 80' 750 so it can go out and cut loose a bit. Of course, NOTHING happens, if I don't have my Wife, my Dad, my Daughter, James and countless other things taken care of 1st! I have to believe that I'll get there, cause look how far we've come (just on my Dad's situation.

One of the true signs of being a real man is ensuring those around us are taken care of first Bill. I understand where you are coming from and I do feel for you!

If only you had a brother you could actually lean on rather than being a cause of alot of your frustration!!

Thank you for that Triple3. She's had all kinds of tests and I think the trip to the Hemotologist, is the last step, don't quote me though. Yeah, a speedy recovery is sure what she needs.

I'd like to give him 2 seconds to go away!

There are STILL some surprises for BOTH of them! Hopefully they (the Surprises) aren't to far away from being realized.

Thanks again for the well wishes, Bill

Thank you Dennis, that is what I was taught by my Parents, to bad some of that didn't rub off on David.

I knew that there would be SOME problem with David, but had NO idea that he would carry it that far! Matter of fact, David tried to "Poison my Dad against me and it turned out that he succeeded on turning my Dad against Himself! Ironic, isn't it? Yeah, it would have been perfect because David lives only about a half mile away from my Dad (in a house that my Dad is paying for) and I live about 2hrs away. Now (temporarilly), my Dad is only about 20minutes away.

Well, I seem to be hijacking my own thread again, because this is once again about my Wife. I hesitate to do an actual one on her, because we may get this cleared up pretty soon. Of course we surely do hope that it IS cleared up soon! You all know that the Doctor's office called Friday and told us to go directly to the hospital and get a transfusion of 2 units of blood. Well, we did just that. The last time we did this (which was not that long ago), she started feeling more herself later that evening and was feeling real good the next day and it lasted for a while. A week ago last Friday, we went (Dad went as well) to the Lake (Dad's place), so I could check the place & Dad could see that things were being taken care of. Well, that day, Brenda started feeling short of breath and energy.
We just blamed it on the heat AND her Asthma. Now, ever since that Day, she's felt the same. No energy AND breathing problems. Checked with the Doctor and Went in a week ago last Thursday to see the Doctor and have lab work done. Well, this Wednesday, she has back to back Doctor's appointments (1st with the Internal medicine Doctor and then the Hemotologists). Sure am Praying that we will find out what the problem is AND why she is so short on Blood (where it is going and why she's not making blood to keep her supply up). Thankfully, my Dad is holding his own and doing pretty well.

Sure need some Prayers here.

Thank you all, Bill

Thank you for that James! While I seem to be making progress on SOME things, others seem to pop up at the most inopertune times. I KNOW that he won't put more on you than you can handle, seems like he and I have different opinions on what MY limits are. Wish SHE didn't have to go through this, but since she IS, I AM so glad that it wasn't during the most stressful part of my Dad's Situation! Always something to be grateful for.

Thank you Will, Definitely can't have Too Much of THAT!

   Anxious to get the Doctor's appointments (2 of them) out of the way, Wednesday and see what they have to say. Somebody needs to have some answers for what's going on with her. Maybe, as I can possibly do it, maytbe I can get my Dad's place cleaned up and in some sort of order and get them (my Wife AND my Dad) down there for some "Get-Away" time to kick back & relax. That being said, I might be able to go out on the lake and do a bit of fishing (wouldn't have to actually catch anything, just be OUT there, leaving everybody AND everything on the land so it'd be just ME without ANY distractions for just a little while). Not that I mind being there to take care of whatever I'm needed for, just to get ME a little "Wind Down" time.

   Makes a person stop and think about things when someone your age, dies. Farrah Fawcet was 62 years old (and she's dead) so 62.

   Later on, Bill

That's ironic that you should mention taking some time for yourself. I was going to suggest just that, but I know you've sometimes been reluctant to take time for yourself. Do take some time. Fishing sounds just the ticket. You'll get some rest and get a bit of perspective.

Even God rested. :-)

Hey Bill, just got back from a few days away up at my parent's cottage. I was hoping to see some news about Brenda (positive news). I know with this being you Yankee's long weekend, appointments would likely be hard to come by....any word yet?

BTW, fishing really is a great cure-all...I got a little in while up at the cottage but the best part was taking my girls out fishing....I didn't get a single cast in as I was helping them but seeing their faces when they caught something it was way better than actually catching anything myself.

Anyways, keep us in the loop and we are all still thinking of you guys...

Sorry I didn't respond sooner Dennis, I just got sidetracked, I guess.

It was so sudden and I guess I'm still in shock that Brenda is gone.
