Well, the much awaited air conditioning unit we had installed last week is on the fritz. Needless to say, with a forecast of 34 degrees (with the humidex), I have been on the phone with Sears on a number of occasions over the last two days. A technician has been by twice, but I'm told that the part is back-ordered for two weeks. I told them to "fix it now, replace it now, or take it away!" I guess I'll be on the phone again tomorrow.
A community nurse (NOVA) will be by to assess Tony tomorrow and see about getting him into a palliative care residence. A social worker will accompany her and they will see how best to help. Tony has not eaten any solids in at least two days and has been quite confused. His words are jumbled and his hands have a slight tremor. Last night he told the boys he needed to "have a shower and change country". I feel like I'm having a nightmare and I can't wake up...
I'm glad that my sister-in-law, Michele, and Tony's best buddy, Kevin, are coming into town tomorrow. I'm also very thankful that my brother-in-law, Greg, has been able to be with us this week. To Guylaine, Linda T. and Sylvie, thank you for your kindness and generosity. To my Onco team at Novartis, thank you for your continued support.
I will leave you on this note... Take good care!

Dear Renée,
We have been following your blog since Novartis friends told us about it. You and Tony and the boys are in our hearts. We have no words only love that we send to all of you.

Dear Renee,
I hope those damn fools atSears can fix your air, otherwise take it away and go elsewhere, at least tell them to replace it with a portable one for the time being,I think they owe you that!!!
I feel so bad for you and yours, but just remember he's not in any pain anymore, the confusion is better than pain. But I'm sure you know that. Kevin is probably there already and that'll be good. I'll be out to see you all , and Michele too. All my sisters are thinking of you and Tony and the boys. Harry and I send our love.
take care, love Julie
Renee
We are very sorry to hear you are having trouble with your a/c just when you need it so much. Glad that Michele will be with you today. She will be a great support.
We are praying that the Lord Jesus who is our Saviour and the God of all comfort will strengthen and comfort you all. You are very much on our hearts.
With all our love

Renee, i've always asked myself through this whole ordeal why bad things happen to good people and tony is "good people". words cannot describe how our hearts ache for everyone in your family. i just don't know what to say. gary , debra and kristi
Allo cousine,
Je ne peux pas croire que c'est rendu là. Je suis soulagée que tu es et que tu seras bien entourée. Je pense à vous tous les jours. J'offre mon aide si vous en avez de besoin. J'ai un air climatisé que nous nous servons pas si vous en avez de besoin en attendant que le votre fonctionne. Bon courage.
