I woke up today at 4 am sharp and couldn't get back to sleep. So at 4:45, I finally threw in the towel trying and decided to watch some TV to get the stress of the leak off my mind. The water bulge had doubled in size, but the leak hadn't started when I got up. At 5:30 it finally burst and out streamed a couple gallons of roof water into our bucketing system. So... I updated my email to the condo agency (and condo association members) and updated them about the leak status, and also decided to include my medical condition in the explanation of expectations of sense of urgency needed around this matter. Heather and I have done so much to make our home a safe and healthy place for me as my immune systems is compromised... I felt like we'd lost control of that with this leak. I am happy to say, it seemed to have an impact on the speed of the responsiveness about the leak.
Then off to the Cancer Center to get my cough checked by one of nurses. As soon as I told them I'd been wheezing when I was laying down, they asked me to wait until Dr. Flej was in so she could check my lungs. After a quick listen, she gave my the thumbs up that my lungs sounded normal. I was good to go and it was ok to use over the counter cough and cold treatments.
Then off to work I went. Which resulted in another great day. Even managed to work a normal 8 hr day and get home to see Heather at a reasonable hour. While I was at work, Heather was managing the roof investigation and home and getting back into her work groove. =)
Cough is still kicking and I have a headache that feels like it's in my sinuses. So we decided it was a perfect night for us to visit our favorite Vietnamese restaurant for some Phở. Man, was that the perfect decision... some spicy soup was just what I needed. Now we are back home and enjoying some relaxing time, both hopeful to get a better night's sleep tonight. They haven't located the cause of the leak yet (despite cutting a 1 foot by 2 foot hole in the drywall), but it's stopped leaking. They are hopeful they will have progress here quickly and it will minimize the disruption, and I pray it will be fully resolved before my next treatment next Thursday 20th.
