Monday 7/19 - A New Normal

One of the things I am starting to realize is that things will never be the same for me or my family. The best we can hope for is to get to a "new" normal. With Kathy gone from our day-to-day lives, we have to hunker down and get to work. But that is easier said than done.

Last week, Jon and I went to summer Boy Scout camp. He should have gone last Sunday (7/11). But we were there by Thursday afternoon. Normally, no merit badge can be earned if you arrive after Tuesday, bu the aquatics director did the right thing. He peeled off a scout staffer who spent most of Friday working with Jon. thank you Mike Brand. By 5 pm, Jon had his Lifesaving Merit Badge. A sense of accomplish for the week.

I've started back to work. There are still a thousand million details to work out. Starting to get a handle on a lot of the open things to worry about. Starting to see those hospital/doctor bills start to come. Of course, it seems that the ICU doctors aren't in our plan, even though the hospital is covered. Not sure how this can happen but that's something to worry about later.
