The hits keep coming

fatesfollyJohn's cellulits is NOT going away, despite topical creams and 3 rounds of different antibiotics in the past month, both oral and 2 in the butt. In fact, the cellulitis is growing again.
So, when his class is over at noon, he will drive himself to a hospital and request IV therapy. This is incredibly stressful, having your love in a hospital hundreds of miles away. I checked Travelocity last night and I could have secured a flight to Chicago tonight for $220 RT that would return me here Monday morning. When I told him about it, he was adamant that I not come. That we don't have the money, that it's not fair to Normie to leave him, that he can handle it on his own.
Ugh! Men!
In other news, I get to meet Wife #2 for the first time in 3.5 years on Sunday. She was the one with John when they adopted Clyde and Normie was her pick, despite John not wanting a Terrier or a puppy. When he called her Sunday to break the news of Clyde's death, my heart went out to her and I told John that if she wanted a Norman fix, I would be available for her to come by to visit while he was gone for the next month. She left a message on the home machine yesterday and last night, we set Sunday afternoon as the time she'll come over.
I'm wondering now how to make this less awkward.

As for W#2...like anais said, treat her like a friend-of-a-friend and focus on the dogs.
Anais also had a good point about possibly knowing, well, um, shrug, I dunno, SOMEONE in Chi-town who could help out? At least you'd know he wasn't alone.
Hmmm. Really, she said everything that needed to be said. I guess I'm just adding an extra HUG and moral support.

If Normie is missing Clyde, it might do him good to see her too.
