Thursday and Red Cross Escort

Today I will go back to Coffeyville at 10:30AM and work at the Red Cross Bloodmobile as an escort. I will leave here about 9:30AM. This time it is being held at the Episcopal Church instead of the First Baptist Church. I have directories for Karan to stitch up.  I will give those to her. She will be working with me as an escort too.

I slept fitfully last night over my sore arm. That comes and goes.

Dale McBride called last evening and explained that there was a case of coronavirus in Sedan, Kansas.....just 13 miles from here. So it is moving into the Southeast Kansas and Northeast Oklahoma area.

Bob will see his doctor tomorrow about his spinal stenosis. He had an MRI yesterday. He may get an epidural after that for his pain.

I have some blueberries that I will drop off at Sycamore Landing for their free table.

More later....

I took the blue berries over to Sycamore Landing to their "free table". I hope they can use them.

Then I went on up to the Episcopal Church where they were having the bloodmobile. Karan was already there giving blood and as soon as she was finished she joined me as an escort.

After we were finished, I gave her the directories and she gave me some plastic /rubber gloves to use when I put gasoline in my car.

I went over to Sonic and bought a mini blast with Reese's pieces. Now I will warm up my chili and eat that and then read my book. So more later....

I checked on the internet to see if there really was a case of coronavirus in Sedan, Kansas, and could find no sign of one. That makes me wonder if Dale told us that to just keep us from going to a sit down restaurant.  Here's what I found until March 19th...today.

Butler County           1
Cherokee County      1
Douglas County        1
Franklin County        1
Jackson County         1
Johnson County        16
Leavenworth County2
Linn County              1
Morris County          2      
Wyandotte County   8 (1 death)

That's it! So far, at least. 32 cases in all of Kansas so far. None noted in Chautauqua County where Sedan is located.

Strange, isn't it?

Bob called me after I was ready to leave the bloodmobile. He had had his MRI and Dr. Christensen wanted him to come in and talk to him. It seems he has a mass on one of his kidneys and until they find out what that is, they don't want to do the epidural. I don't know what the next step is.

That is scary though. It very well could be cancer.

It's wait and see now.

I have been reading but I am tired right now. I ate most of my leftover chili and fretoes for lunch. I stopped at Sonic in Coffeyville before I came home and bought a mini blast and had that first...dessert first.

It is 4:00PM now and there may be some news on now. I will get back to this later.

Now I decided to call the Sedan Hospital myself since I had told a half dozen people what he had told me as true. The nurse told me she was not going to be able to tell anyone else the answer to my question but since I had already told a half dozen people, she said they did NOT have a case.

That's just what I thought.

It's 6:00PM now and soon I will take my bath...at 7:00PM.

I went on to bed at 9:00PM
