A very frustrating week ...... I've had the un-Midas touch. Big problem with incorrect W-2s that it's taken quite a while to straighten out ... and now I have to send out new, corrected copies to some employees ...... *sigh*
M-i-l went to see the neurosurgeon Wednesday afternoon. He is very reluctant to do the surgery (he said he'd rather take a beating than do it) but has agreed to ...... but only after Mom has seen a cardiologist. S-i-l is trying to arrange that now. The surgery will be scheduled probably a week or so after that appointment.
He told her that he could help her problem but not completely alleviate it ...... and there is a very high risk of her having a stroke or some other major complication after the surgery. He understands her position but isn't offering any encouragement at all ....... :-(
Daughter-child was planning on coming this weekend. She hasn't seen her grandmother in quite a while. It occurred to us that she passes within 30 minutes of s-i-l's home (where Mom is staying right now) on her way here. So we had a brainstorm ...... we're meeting her tomorrow night at a hotel near s-i-l's hometown and will all go visit with m-i-l and s-i-l for a while Saturday before coming on back here. We'll be leaving town tomorrow evening straight from work ...... not sure what time yet. I doubt if I will be here tomorrow though I will try to peep in if I have a chance.
Prayers for all of you ...... and try to keep the squirming down to a minimum .....
.....my pocket will be quite full ...... :-)
