Oklahoma City

They arrived, checked into a new hotel and were resting when Michael checked in with me yesterday afternoon. They are going to need the rest! Anthony and his beautiful wife, who Michael met at British Don's daughter's wedding in Nashville a couple of years ago, had plans to meet at 7PM at one of the two very popular and successful bars owned by Anthony's son and his wife. Got that? From there, Anthony arranged dinner reservations at an amazing restaurant then they were going to drop by the other bar owned by Anthony's son and his wife.

It was going to be a long night! Even with a two hour time difference, I have not heard from Michael yet this morning. He must have been feeling the long drive plus a late night equals sleeping in this morning.

He was so excited about plans for today. It has something to do with cars, of course.

I can't believe my time alone is almost over. They fly home tomorrow afternoon, we will throw Michael's stuff in the laundry basket then load up the bass for a gig in town. Welcome home, honey. Gotta go!

My plans today, after a shower, are to swing by JC Penney to look for a few colorful t-shirts and do the food shopping. That should take all morning and into the afternoon!

At rehab class, Bob was still AWOL so we hoped he was getting new lungs. We also learned of the passing of another person in our class, who died last Wednesday. That news is never easy to hear. She crashed quickly and died in hospice.

The young woman I have been speaking with in the hospital in Southern California with a collapsed lung, who has been waiting for new lungs for a year, is being moved. Her lung is finally healing on its own after four weeks in the hospital but the other hospital where she is listed for lung transplants is having her transferred to their facility this week. She is at the top of their transplant list and they think she will get her new lungs soon. I so hope so. She has such a positive outlook and a young daughter waiting for her to come home.
