MOE CONTINUES HER RECOVERY

 Moe  continues to recover   from  her  operation.  Thanks  to   Mary  and  Peggy,  she  gets  excellent  nursing care.   I   could not have  given  her the  care she  needed  by  myself.   
   This   walk  was sort   of a  landmark   for  her. 
.  Following this work out,  we went   to a Dunkin  Donuts in  Stafford  where  Moe   entered a restaurant for  the  first  time  in  months.  She  had a little     coffee, and a bit of a donut,  establishing the  fact  that  she is    back  in the outside  world.
Today   we  go  to  therapy  to  continue
 the  recovery.

YOU DON'TSUPPOSE..................


YOU   DON’T  SUPPOSE………………..

 

The   guy in  the  line in  the  supermarket     was  talkative,  so  we  talked  as  I  have  been  known to  do  on occasion.   I  got  around to  the   matter of  Moe’s  illness,  as you   might  have  suspected,    and   I    pontificated  as   follows:

 

 “I  don’t  go  to  church,  so  I  don’t  want you to  join  my    church,   but  I  am   a  spiritually  oriented   person.  In  fact,  I   talk  with  the  Virgin  Mary  every  night  and  ask  for  intervention----I  figure  she  knows  HIM   better  than  I  do.”   A  little  humor,  there.    A   smile   from  my  audience.

     “You  can  laugh  if  you  want at  my  naivete,  but  I  have  had   answers  to  prayers  on  three  occasions.”  He   didn’t   laugh.  “ So  maybe  I  have  created a relationship  with  the  almighty.”  He  was    still  attentive.

      “About    three    months   before the  onset  of  my  wife’s  illness,     which  was   totally  unexpected, two of our   adult  daughters   came  to  live  with us  temporarily.  One   is  an  RN,  and   the   other  an  LPN,   two   nurses.     What   decision  maker  placed  them  in  the   one  spot   where  their  presence   became  absolutely  imperative   to  their  mother  and to  me  when   their  mother   was  stricken?    Who could have  known?

The  right  place  a the right  time with  no  apparent  reason .  I  would be  totally  unable  to  care for   my  wife  in  her  recuperation  if   on  my  own   but  they  were both on the  scene,  and  ready  to  serve.    What   do  you  think  about  that?”

He   replied  that it  looked  like  divine  intervention to  him.   Exactly  what  I  think!    

   Sometime  when  you  finally  realize  you  don’t  know  or  control  everything,  you  might   try  invoking  powers  you  don’t  understand!   I  did.
