Update: Thank you all who have prayed and sent good wishes to me this past week. The details of my disappearance are that The Professor suffered a mild stroke last Thursday night. Because he immediately recognized the symptoms, we were able to get to the ER very quickly. He is making strong and fast progress in his recovery. Currently, he is in our local hospital's inpatient intensive physical therapy rehabilitation unit. Again, thank you all for your care and concern.
So, as you can imagine, all of my Friday Fave Fives this week are linked to this situation.
1. I am thankful for excellent care for The Professor in both hospitals where he has been a patient. In addition, Younger Daughter the Nurse was on duty that evening and was able to check on us constantly.
2. So many people have reached out to offer help to me-- driving, meals, and everything else I might need.
3. My dear friend L who was my companion on our adventure to Ireland last summer drove me home one evening from the far away hospital, stopped at Trader Joe's and helped me purchase some basic foods and ready-made dinners to make eating easier. I didn't realize at the time just how much that would help me this week.
4. All our neighbors are keeping an eye on me, reminding me that they are all here to help if I need them.
5. During this difficult and crazy time, we have had two house projects going on. (When you plan work with companies, you can't just cancel or postpone it.) Our driveway has been repaved; the cement work was well done. The flooring on our main floor has been pulled up and replaced. That should be finished tomorrow. I am thankful that the work was still able to be finished and that the companies have been helpful and accommodating.
Here is something to make you smile. A honey bee gathering pollen from a beautiful yellow flower.

oh wow Linda I am so sorry to hear about your husband's stroke! I haven't been online much this week so have missed your news but I am putting him on my morning prayer list now. This is a great list of blessings in a chaotic week!
there's nothing like helpful neighbors, church family, biological family and friends in a time of crisis. try to relax this weekend and know that people are praying for you and hubby. Sounds like he's in good hands and doing well ...glory to God!
Getting help quickly is so important with strokes. I'm glad the symptoms were recognized and you could get to a hospital post haste. It is so good to be part of a community that reaches out to help. Glad your girls are close by, too. Prayers for good care and recovery.
Sorry to hear this Linda but so glad you were able to get to the hospital quickly - so important with a stroke and that The Professor has had good care and is doing well. I'm sure it's a big blessing to be close to family at times like this but it sounds like you have a good community around you. I hope he continues to make good progress. Take care of yourself too.
Oh wow--how scary. I am so glad he is doing well and you have a good support system around you. Praying for his recovery.
Oh my! You have had quite the week! I am so sorry to hear about your husband's stroke, even if it is a mild one, they still cause a lot of issues and concerns. So thankful he recognized the signs and you were able to get him to the hospital immediately. That is key to recovery! It's wonderful to hear how people have rallied around you and are there to assist you in this difficult time. Thank you for the update. We will continue to pray for your hubby and you as well.
I will keep you and your husband in prayer as he goes through the recovery. Good that you have so much support!
What a hectic week in the midst of your husband's medical emergency! Wonderful for God's mercies with your nurse daughter at hand, friends to step in, and the excellent care your husband had. May he continue his recovery journey. Was just reading about the lame man that Peter and John encountered at the Beautiful Gate. He never walked and yet when he was healed, he leapt. May God create health and restoration for your beloved.
Keeping you and your husband in my prayers, Linda. I'm so glad you are being looked after. How nice it will be for your husband when he gets home and those two big projects are done.
