Prior to that, Karl called me while I was on the road somewhere in Wisconsin. He said there was a severe T-storm warning. When I asked what they were doing to keep him safe, he told me they closed the curtains and were giving him extra pillows. Well, the phone was a bit static-y and I thought he said they were giving him extra pills. We've been having a good time with that ever since.
I ran dead into the storm on my drive, but only after encountering an hour-long parking lot in Chicago and red tail lights all the way to the Dells. (I'm going to go a different route on the way home). Two years ago I wrote a post on this blog entitled something like, "Into the Storm." The message was about forging ahead and having faith. I mentioned that the sky was dark and ominous, but as soon as we got to Rochester, the skies lightened up and the sun peeked through, illuminating all the Mayo buildings.
Yesterday was the same, only this time I took ph
otos.
Top: looking north at the Mississippi River, just after I crossed into Minnesota.
Middle: There was a tiny area where the sun was shining. The low ceilings and dark clouds looked pretty ominous. As I drove further, I saw veils of vertical clouds clinging to the hills. I couldn't take photos because it was raining too hard.
Bottom: Just south of Rochester, the sun peeked out of the clouds. It was still pouring rain, but it was encouraging to see the sun..
Karl is feeling well and his skin grafts are healing nicely. He is receiving heparin and will bridge over to coumadin to thin his blood and dissolve the non-threatening blood clots.
I brought with me a gun/accessories catalog. He was eager to look at it; he really wants a Ghillie suit. He says he'll hide in his bed and scare the nurses. I love Karl's sense of humor.
Ghillie suit
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings,
Kerry
