Hello everyone, sorry that I haven't written for a while, things have been hectic.
John is making very slow progress. I don't think he ever realized how slow the healing process can be once you have scrambled the bones in your leg. He is very frustrated, and after a series of hard headedness and stubbornness, he has finally started following the Doctor's and wife's suggestions. He is able to get from bed to office to do his crosswords, back to bed. He only goes in the bathroom for his morning cleanup routine. He has a urinal by his bedside, guess who gets to empty it. Other than that, he has to stay in bed with leg elevated....which he hates. I know he is very upset about not being able to do more to help, but I have hired a maid, one extra day of yard work, one extra pool clean up day. It will never be as good as John can do it, but it will be at least manageable when he is back on his feet. I still am not laying around, eating bon bons as John so likes to joke....ha..ha! There are grocery trips, dogs, errands, doctor appointments and managing day to day chores of taking care of him 24/7. I sure haven't had much time to think about the big C.
We got a Univ.of Florida alumni newspaper, and who should have a full page story but one Michael Foley. (Very handsome picture Michael). I talked to Karen last night and they are going to induce Cristen some time tonight. She is more than ready. Shannon Domeier is having another child, this is right after having her first one. We are right in the middle of having so many of our friends having grandchildren. (Do you hear that Dina and Josh?) Our fridge is covered in baby pictures. We are still waiting on our little Noah to have a sibling.
My health is good and I am doing so much, I actually hurt my back and hip pretty badly. I did go for one of those outpatient surgeries where you get cortisone shots. I had two, one in back and one in hip. I am still in some pain, but nothing like before. However, no amount of working around the house seems to do much for weight loss. I am still getting on the talking scale every morning and I am tired of its mindless chit chat.
I am going today to see Mary and her team coming in for the last few miles of their walk for breast cancer awareness. It has been a wonderful experience and she will have so much to tell me. I want to go to lunch with her next week, whenever she can get away. I am seeing Kip tonight, she is really under the weather with a sinus headache. I hope it has lessened somewhat. Well, I know I could write so much more and gossip forever, but have to go fix breakfast. I love you all so much and do wish we could have one big reunion sometime this year. Maybe we could have a christening of a new baby......Sorry, I had to throw one more jab your way, Dina and Josh. Love me
