As a real estate agent our life sometimes changes from hour to hour. Sometimes clients cancel appointments at the very last minute that took us two hours to research and set up. Sometimes we find a foreclosure that just hit that market that is priced so low that we know it won't be on the market for more than a day or two. We scramble to set the appointment and get our clients into the house as soon as possible. Sometimes we get addendums from the bank at 5:30 at night that have to be in by the next day at 5:00. We have to get the docs to the client and get the certified check hand delivered to the listing agent by 5 the next day.
Even tomorrow changed. It's St. Patrick's day and a couple of past clients wanted to take me out. They wanted to start at 9 am in the morning. I don't know about you but I have never started drinking at 9 am ever in my life. I'm a light weight when it comes to drinking. I'm not one of those guys that can drink a case of beer and drink for 12 hours straight. But those St. Patrick's Day plans quickly changed when I had a closing that was scheduled at 4. Then I had a client call this morning that wants to see houses at 5:30 in the evening. I had to cancel my morning with my past clients. I would never drink and then go and meet clients. I just don't think it is professional.
My even my late day has now changed. My wife got a call at 3:30 from her oncologist saying that they needed to admit my wife right away. One of her cancer spots had grown. So I jumped in the car to pick up my wife from work to go to the hospital. So I sit here patiently waiting with her. Of course the doctor won't be in until the morning so we sit here nervously not knowing what they are going to do.
Meeting a Neuro Surgeon was mentioned, but we don't when or what they are actually going to do. We don't know how extensive or dangerous the surgery will be. We know her cancer has grown, but we are worried. On the way to the hospital my wife was a wreck. The worst case scenarios going thru her head. Thank goodness for technology and great friends. Four or five of her friends and our son Ryany texted back and forth for over an hour. It took her mind off what was going to happen tomorrow. Tonight and tomorrow I will be by wife's side waiting patiently for the doctors orders. Hopefully life will change for my wife. Hopefully they will be able to take the cancer out and take away the pain she has had since November. Hopefully she will be able to sleep through the night without pain. Hopefully she won't cry out in pain anymore. This is how I hope our life changes.
Any prayers you can give for my wife will be greatly appreciated.

"helping make your move easier"
your local Metro Detroit Realtor helping clients like you sell and buy homes through out the entire Metro Detroit suburbs. I love showing and selling Oakland County and Livingston County Lake front homes too.
Hello Russ...Yes, we are constantly faced with changes. Some are good and some are not. You and your wife got hit with a bad one. Hopefully the next change will be that the medical profession can eliminate the cancer and the pain your wife is in.
Tomorrow will bring news for us also. My husband will be returning to his physician tomorrow to find our how successful his treatments for cancer have been.

You don't have to be a Realtor to have things change hour to hour....that's life! Sometimes we get good blessings and then there are other times we have to face unhappy times. Stay strong and positive it can only help. I'll remember your wife in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey Russ - our prayers are with you and your wife...perhaps the luck of the Irish will shine upon you. Meanwhile, pub crawling doesnt always involved drinking for everyone...it may be an opportunity to bond with your buddies. We need to focus on living our live each day. We are flexible in our business world and we can be just as flexible in our journey of joy days.
I'm sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Russ per hour TRY per minute... as agent we wear so many hats due to client base. I love it. I hope you have a wonderful week.
