May...
The motorhome is stored...at
least until June 15th.
Dixie is back working at Frans a day or two a week. We went to the
Crusin the Drag car show on the 4th.
We have been busy getting the outside patio but together and
planting tomatoes and a few flowers. We jumped in and put the house
for Sale or Lease on Craigs List on the 6th.
Also we made some flyers and bought a yard sign. Now we will see
what happens!
Dad
& Elaine arrived home on the 6th
so we went over there that afternoon and helped then unload
everything from their motorhome...we like unpacking so much that we
had to do it again. Dad just purchased the motorhome in Lake Havasu
before they left. It is a 2004 28ft Itasca Sunova that they will use
to pull the boat. After unpacking they took us to the OP for dinner.
Everything
changed on Friday, May 10th
as Dad had a stroke
(just 4 days after arriving home). Thank God that Elaine was there
with him and recognized the symptoms – the ambulance came and he
was at the hospital within 30 minutes. He received the TPA injection
which is called a 'clot buster'. At first he was not able to speak
and the right side was not working. He spent 4 days in the hospital
and then 2 weeks in the rehab portion of the hospital. He ended the
month with in home therapy. The speech is better and the right leg is
working ok – it's mainly the right arm/hand that he has limited
movement of.
Also
in May we attended Tyler's divisional track meet that was held here.
Bill & Gloria came for a visit. Before we actually got the 'For
Sale/Lease' sign in the ground we had a couple that called and was
interesting in leasing. We also had about 3 people look at it to
buy. When the couple came that wanted to lease, they really liked it
and gave us a check....so that is what we will do! We will be out by
July 1...yiks!!!! Mike & I went to the farm for a couple of days
over Memorial Day weekend. We made a stop at the bank in Havre to
set us a new account for the condo lease and then the
Blaine
County Court House to get the Ford licensed there. It was a very
busy month...starting our packing and going back and forth to the
hospital.
