1/9/10 Saturday update

[Gay Haldeman]

Joe is doing well.  Several people have asked, worried that we hadn't  
written in a while.  We're just getting our feet under us.  After Joe  
escaped the hospital, we spent two full days at the VA coordinating  
his care.  He has 24-hour IV antibiotics I administer once a day,  
they're trying to pull a drain out one centimeter at a time (I get to  
do that, too) and several other openings that need care.  We're  
learning to cope and how to have a normal life while coping.  Folks  
have brought us dinner, we've gone out to restaurants, we've gone to  
other peoples' houses, Joe did some grocery shopping alone.  He's  
back to working on his novel every day and he went to his art  
workshop this morning, where he did some fine paintings.  This  
evening singer Jack Williams is in town, so we're going to his concert.

I bought a new TV this morning.  It'll be delivered next Thursday.   
Joe's spent hours asleep on the recliner part of our new sofa.  We're  
doing okay.

I hope all the rest of you are doing okay, too.  It's unusually cold  
here in Florida, but we really can't complain.  Stay warm, everyone.   
Love, Gay
