Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 76 degrees, high 81 degrees, cloudy

In preparation for her c-t scan tomorrow, Carolyn had to have a blood sample taken today. This is in the event the doctors have to inject a dye to gain the proper contrast in the pictures of her nodules. Apparently, the dye can cause some problems with 1% of people who may be allergic to it. With the allergies she has, it would not be surprising for her to react negatively to the dye. Hopefully, it will not have to be used.

Speaking of the blood sample Carolyn had to give, her arm looks as though the lab tech used a drill and syringe to take the sample. The tech did one of the worse jobs we have seen.

After giving the blood sample, we went to the laundromat to wash our clothes. It was the busiest we have ever seen it be. Most of the people were from Louisiana, and they were talking among themselves about the weather and when they might be able to go home. There is some talk here about some interviews that were given by people from down there. Most of the interviews were of people complaining about their lot while here. Now, let's think about this a minute. Free transportation out of the storm, free housing, free food, free entertainment. Am I missing something? The more you give people, the more they want. To be fair, many people have not asked for help, and probably would not accept it if offered. However, the bad apples sure do leave a bad taste.

When we finished the laundry, we went home and rested for a couple of hours. Then it was out to the house to mow for awhile. It's nice to not have to spend all our time out there. Now, if we can just get that thing sold.

More later, be safe.
