Creative Gin Rummy

August 23, 2006 Both Ben’s doctors said he could come home- I am trying to get stuff set up here so he can. I can’t wait! It’s so dang heartbreaking to be apart but Ben needed to get more stable before he could come back here safely. We went to his doctor this morning, then our friends Gordon and Judy came down from Canada for a visit- we played an interesting and creative game of progressive rummy with Ben and his 3 buddies, the most coherent fellows at the Lodge. Then we went to O’Blarney’s and Gordon and Ben shot some pool so all in all it was a good day. I slept soundly last night without a sleeping pill so life is getting back to our version of normal. Thank you to all the people who have helped us through this latest crises- we couldn’t do it without you!
