Please Take Care of Sr. Tess and her New Staff

Last night, I talked to Sr. Flo when she got back from helping Sr. Tess.  She said Sr. Tess went to her doctor’s appointment with her and that within two minutes of walking through the door, the Dr. started the process of admitting Sr. Tess to the hospital. 
 
Sr. Tess is in good hands now, but she didn’t go without complaint.  Sr. Flo says she nearly exploded on the poor intake worker who asked her religion.  The Sisters dress traditionally from top to bottom, pretty nun-Catholic like! 
 
Sr. Flo also says that Sr. Tess told the doctor she was never in her entire life hospitalized.  She’s kind of a tough lady … maybe we better bless the nursing staff too, hmm...
 
The sisters were thinking it might have something to do with her potassium being unbalanced.  It might take 2-3 days to go through all the blood tests.
 
We haven’t thought through proper our appointment with Dr. M., and we had a little extra time to process an old school loan and maybe getting me shoes without holes in them.  We found a specialist here in the city that is able to charge insurance for orthopedic shoes for diabetics.  That was good luck.
 
On the car end … we feel extremely fortunate.  It turned out to be defective stabilizers.  Just know it was a $90 repair (could have been much worse!) and that because of it we were at very high risk from having cut our brake lines.  But … all the precautions were taken.
 
As far as work … we’re already here ready to see what we can make of the day.  We’ve had to scold Sr. Flo for shoveling and emptying garbage though.  We’ve got other people to do these things!  Thinking everyone wants it to run smoothly until Sr. Tess gets back.  *Sigh*

I'm sorry about to hear about Sr. Tess, though she proves to be quite a handful even when hospitalized! Nuns come in different shapes and sizes, but they are all tough and resilient characters (I know of which I speak, being a product of catholic schools all my life!), so I'm sure she will be well in no time.

Glad to hear about the car repair not being a major expense too, may we all be so fortunate!

My goodness, hope Sr. Tess is better soon!

I'm glad you found out the source of the car trouble and solved it. One less worry for you. :-)
