Jason had a pretty good day today, and with the out come of the 49er/Saints game (he was a bit torn on who should win), one of his teams is still in the mix. It will be good to get cable hooked up so we can actually watch one of the games, but as with many things, it is a lower priority. Speaking of priorities, one of the issues that we have been discussing with the hospital is rest-bit care for me. With Linda being here right now it seems kind of silly to try to get something set up because she is providing some of the rest. We had not used it previously, and getting a test run in seemed like a good idea, so we made arrangements for that to happen. As a result, Linda and I took off for a few hours (6) this evening, to see just how good the care is supposed to be. They came in and we discussed what was to be done; Jason set some ground rules for how he wanted to be helped; and other tasks were given since most of the time is just sitting around. When we came back to the house, Jason seemed pretty satisfied with the help, and the tasks we assigned were all done. We will probably be using them in the future, when it is needed, a little later. Actually, I might want to set something up so that I can get into an exercise routine, and they can come on a very regular basis. A few more things need to be worked out, but that's what I'm shooting for.

I promised to provide an update on George (our son); he came back from Kaiser last night with his Aunt Joyce, and spent the night at their place. The folks at Kaiser really still don't know what happened with him, so they will be taking him back in about a week, for more tests, and attempt to narrow it down. The real good news out of all this is that the doctors felt comfortable with him going back to work, so he did today, after having breakfast and getting back to his house to get some clean clothes. I am glad it isn't anymore serious than that as I don't know exactly how I would be attempting to handle it. It would have to fall mostly on Linda, since she is the one who is home.

Tomorrow is going to be another mostly relaxing day. We'll probably get some shopping in as both Jason and Mom want to get some containers, and will be doing some organizing around the house. Other than that, not too much is going on, so with that, I'll be signing off for the evening. Thank you, for all your prayers and support - it is much appreciated.
