Everyone is not faring well today - including Didi

July 17, 2012

Up sick most of the night- not a pretty sight, but felt better by the morning.  Decided to stay in and rest this morning, but assured Charlie I was well enough for him to go fish - all I was planning on doing is sleeping.

He came back saying he had  caught two fish, but had cut his thumb and may need my help if I was well enough to help him, even mentioned something about stitches.... So I said of course I was well enough to help and got up, grabbed some band aids, and went out to help him doctor up his finger.  It was cut pretty deeply, and right where his thumb bends at the first joint, so it had been bleeding pretty bad.  I got the Band-aids spread out and then had to quickly go back inside - I was pretty sure I was going to faint and thought that was the last thing Charlie or I needed to deal with at that moment....  Went in, got sick again, and then as always, felt better - and came back out to try and help again.  By then, Charlie had a Band-aid around it and decided he did not need stitches.  It did bleed most of the day though.

I slept most of the day, and when Charlie left to go back and fish in the afternoon, Didi would not start - this day just kept getting better and better.....

Michael used his internet to help us find some auto parts stores and auto repair places in Soldotna, and we found a shop to replace the starter.  We called AAA and they came and towed it for us around 9:30 - so no more fishing for the day - but the car is on it's way to getting better, Charlie's thumb has slowed down considerably in bleeding, and I am on the mend as well.  So tomorrow will be a much better day I am sure.
