Mr. Indi called me at 3:15 to say that he was on his last bag of fluid (a saline solution to flush his system) and was feeling pretty good. I was able to pick him up at 4:00 p.m. and we were both happy to be back home before 5:00 p.m. - just in time to make a nice dinner of smoked turkey, cheesy potatoes and salad.
Well, what a day it was. I watched with mild amusement as the representatives of the two political parties threw blame at each other while the stock market melted down like a bar of tainted Cadbury's chocolate in the noonday sun! I really have no sympathy for the people who took out mortgages for houses that they couldn't afford but it seems that their greed is now costing everybody a lot of money. Mr. Indi's pension lost several thousands of dollars yesterday! Why? We have always lived within our means and I very much resent the idea of bailing anybody out. But - the government will do whatever it wants! Sigh!
The hot weather continues and my arthritis is not at all happy about it. The dark clouds didn't produce any rain but I heard the radio crackle a few times - so there was some lightning about. By afternoon, the mercury was up to 103F and the garden continued to gasp! The venerable weather man has promised a cooling trend by the weekend - Ha! down to 90F no doubt!
Mr. Indi was up very early this morning - working on his computer. He has had all of about 2 hours sleep - in 15 minute increments. I hope he will be able to rest as the steroids wear off.
