Getting Thrown Another Curve

Monday morning Junior was relaxing as he continued to recover from his surgery.  I heard water but he was watching an episode of the A-Team and they were in a boat so I initially didn't think anything of it.  Then I realized it sounded awfully real and not like it was coming from the TV so I went investigating.  I discovered water pouring(not dripping) from the ceiling in his bedroom and also from the bathroom ceiling.  A burst pipe in the apartment above us was causing all this "fun".  A bathroom full of water and wet carpets on the end of his bedroom and in the closet. I spent Monday moving everything out of those areas while the maintenance guy was cutting holes in the ceiling and pulling back the carpets.  Carpet has been disinfected and cleaned, fans and a dehumidifier were brought in to dry out the floors and ceiling so everything is now dry. But we will continue sleeping in the living room until the ceiling is repaired.  They had to cut some fairly large holes in it to drain the water so there is exposed insulation.  With Junior's lung disease I am just not comfortable with him in there until it is fixed.
I am so very thankful we were home when this happened or it could have been oh so much worse. I am also grateful none of his medical equipment was damaged.

Junior thinks it is great to have a slumber party in the living room.  Yonder is sure the recliner I am sleeping is, is actually his and tries to sneak into it as soon as I add the sheet and blanket for the night. 

 

 Trying to convince me this is his spot.

I would really love to get the house back to normal in the next day or two but with the horrible wind and rain we are having I am not sure the maintenance guys for our complex are going to have time.  I will look at it as a time to do some organizing and getting rid of things no longer in use.  Currently the medical shelves from the bedroom are in my dining area along with much of his bedroom stuff so perfect time to work on it.
