The car is fixed! We picked it up last night at dinnertime. (and our first trip in it was out for dinner!) Parts arrived from Vancouver by express, an opening appeared in the mechanic's schedule so he could complete the job a whole day early, and best of all my husband had time for a short afternoon nap. When I see how exhausted he is, how close to the edge of a chronic fatigue episode, I can't help but see the good in having to cancel our trip to Regina. Yes it is disappointing to miss important meetings but on the other hand if a person is too tired to pay attention and participate in the meetings then it is a waste of everyone's time and just adds stress to the situation. We have to go to Regina next week again anyway to vote for our new Bishop. My husband's health has been so good as to be almost miraculous since we came here and I am glad for these unexpected chances to stop the racing about his job demands so often. He is losing his day off next week due to other meetings that had to be rescheduled earlier on because of bad winter roads so there is blessing in this set of circumstances. He has a chance to pull back from the edge of a CFS episode.
Sometimes things just work out as they should.
