<DIV>I need to ask a huge favor or help from our family and friends</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are scheduled to move into our house in Haltom City by the 15th of August, and have to be out of our rental house in NE Arlington no later than the 15th. We didn't expect it to be a hard move or a huge deal and were going to do the moving by ourselves. Until this last few days that is.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Jon got sick last week with severe stomach pains, after doctors not being able to figure out what it was they put him in the hospital on Tuesday. Late Tuesday afternoon they figured out it was gall stones and scheduled him for surgery on Wednesday morning. The surgeon was going to fit Jon into his surgeries between the others already scheduled, because the GI doctor said there were to many stones to wait. It was suppose to be a normal scope minimally invasive surgery, at least until the surgeon got inside and saw what he was looking at. The gall bladder was massively infected and filling with gangrene. The surgery was much longer than I expected so I sort of had an idea it was not going as planned. The surgeon told me afterward that if the surgery had been delayed any longer the out come would have been much different than it ended up being. At this point they expect him to recover, but they say he is
still not out of the woods, they are worried about post surgery complication and other issues. Jon will be in the hospital several more days even if everything goes right.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So here is the favor I need to ask of people, with Jon not being able to help with the move at all now, I need to ask for volunteers who can come help me get our things over to the new house. We don't have a ton of things compared to most SCA households which is a good thing I guess. We had already moved all the craft, and fabric things over to the house prior to Jon's getting sick. I am going to try and get everything packed between now and the 14th. I am hoping I can get some volunteers to help me with getting the rest of our things moved over to the Haltom City house. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you think you might be able to help with this, I would really appreciate any and all help I can get. I know several of you are leaving for Pennsic in the next couple of days and won't be back in time to help, so I am not even sure who to ask for help which is why I am listing this general plea for help.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks so much in advance for all the help and support you are able to give. <BR> </DIV>
