Hi, Linda,
Yes, Helen would be there for him in a New York minute. I seriously doubt
that he'll go for counseling because he's one of these guys who's really
proud and macho. None of my other sisters like him either because of his
attitude. Cecilia mentioned to me one time that he made a snide remark about
us having health problems. Now the tables are turned because last year he
had congestive heart failure. He really doesn't take care of himself like he
should.

Rosie, wo, what an inconsiderate person Tom must be not to help his wife
when she has a broken knee, for Heaven sake! I'm sure if the reverse were
happening, Helen would be there for him in a New York minute! Sheesh! I
wonder if Helen isn't gonna request marriage counseling once she gets back
to normal with her knee! I'm so sorry this is happening to poor Helen.
Will keep praying.

Subject: [ourplace] update on Helen
Hi, everyone,
I just talked to Mom a little while ago and she said Helen is scheduled for
surgery on Wednesday April 5th. Tomorrow she has to go for all her pre-op
exams plus donate a pint of blood. Actually she's giving it in case she has
to have a blood transfusion. She'll have to go to a convalescent home for
physical therapy. My brother-in-law Tom won't do a blasted thing to help her
and that does make me mad. I think he can at least make her some meals and
do some housework for her since she can't put weight on that leg. Mom told
me awhile back that he said he's getting tired of taking her places and
doing things for her. I don't know why he has such a weird attitude. He
needs prayer for his attitude as well as Helen being prayed for for her
knee.
Thank you all for your prayers.
Rosie
