The Bingo Queen
Today I completed my 24th treatment. That means 12 to go, unless the schedule is changed. At this time, I do not expect any changes.
My spouse was acting as a Good Samaritan today. Some people here at the Caring House are by themselves and do not have transportation to go to the store for food or, in some cases, even get picked up from the hospital. So Patsy volunteered to help the people living at the Caring House who are in need of transportation get where they need to go. She picked up a mother from the hospital today who was hospitalized to give stem cells for her 33 year old son. They are from Africa and have few friends in the US. Talking to the mother presents a problem because of the language barrier. It is very difficult to understand her. We were told the son may not have long to live because the stem cell transplant may not be working. That’s another family to add to our prayer list.
Tonight the residents played Bingo. The director of the Caring House gets 10-15 gifts for prizes for the winners. That makes the games more fun. Patsy has now been declared the “The Bingo Queen”. Tonight she won 4 games and yours truly finally won one. Patsy won the big prize also, a portable wet/dry Power Vac! If I could get her to Las Vegas, we may not have to work anymore.
Wednesday night we will have another Caring House dinner. We have a special white bean, spinach, and tomato dish that we plan to make. With all the items listed that people are planning to prepare, we will have a feast. Everyone looks forward to the Wednesday night dinners.
