waiting for results...

And while my little friend below is waiting for his train, we are once again waiting for results. Shawn had some blood tests last week, that have to be processed at the Mayo, so probably won't be back until next week sometime. Also an MRI on Tuesday.

Yesterday he saw his U of C hypertension doctor, who is keeping him on the current cocktail of blood pressure medicines, with instructions to keep monitoring it and let him know if there are any changes. For now, the spikes remain in the 160 range, much much better than 240!

Meanwhile, we are buying a condo in Bloomington for Shawn to live in for the next few years. It's a two bedroom place which will make it much easier for us to come down and stay with him. In the last few days we had the inspection on the condo, Shawn found someone to sublet his current apartment, and we moved all his stuff into a storage locker. As always, the amount of stuff to move grew as we started packing it and the estimate of how long it would take kept increasing throughout the day. (Perhaps that trip when we were all the way across town before Shawn called to tell us we forgot to get the KEY didn't help... but that was just one of many trips!)

Now it's all moved, Shawn's staying in the basement apartment of one of his very generous friends from his support group, and we close sometime next month.

I hope the results are what you are hoping for. How nice to get a condo of your own and place for you to stay Sheri!
