Now that her car is gone, Teresa is feeling its loss keenly. For the next four weeks, until the move into Holland Christian Homes, Teresa will be stuck at home without the option to just drive somewhere as the inclination arises. Once she’s moved into HCH, however, this difficult situation is likely to change. It’s always a party there!
No wheels = no fun For the time being, Susan swings by to pick up Teresa and make a grocery run, or to drive her to an appointment. Teresa also appreciates the ride to church from her friends – that would hurt, not being able to get to her church on Sunday.
Improvements continue apace in the apartment. The A/C unit was installed this week, so there’s no fear of those hot summer days. Susan and Teresa ordered new blinds as well, which will be installed in the last week of May. Very nice verticals with a valance. If time allows this week, Susan and Teresa will look into paint chips for when Theodore arrives to paint in a couple of weeks.

Most days involves the packing, sorting, and sometimes donating of household stuff. Teresa’s grandson Ian has arranged for the rental of a cube van at the end of the month for the big move. The computer got a repreive, and will remain on the “keep” list for the time being. If there’s good internet access at HCH, Teresa may just get back into e-mail.
The wig will soon be history!
There were no medical appointments this week, but here’s an interesting development – Teresa’s hair is growing back! The eyebrows are already in place, and scalp hair is coming back steadily.
