Another phone call, this one from Terry at the hot springs - with bad news.  

"It turns out you'll be needed after all." 

Her sister Elinor, who lives just 5 miles away from there, has just been diagnosed with Stage 4 uterine cancer.  Karen (their other sister) and Mark will be flying in from NY and staying until July 12.  I can leave here on July 10 (need to chauffeur Tom to/from colonoscopy on July 9) and be there to help Terry take care of Neil, 97-year-old Hilda, and Elinor (while Richard is at work), through the end of August.
