    I love this.

    Good day with the Donald. They took out the nose hose and the foley and one drain. He walked 24 laps and I walked close to 4 miles (including some of those laps) Tonight i ought to get just a little more caught up on my sleep since tomorrow is 25 hours long.

    On my way home in the dark and cold, a young woman cyclist was keeping up with me, catching up at the red lights and stop lights. At the final light I had hopes of her sitting parallel with my car But there was this huge camper who decided to stop at the light on the right side of me, in the sharrow.
    So I sped up so he could not pass me on the right. I was afraid he was playing games with the cyclist, so I figured if i distracted him, he'd leave the bike alone. Sure enough he tailgated with his high beams on all the next mile on our quiet residential street with a 30mph speed limit. But he left the bicycle alone.

    Good for you, Mimi, keeping the lane clear for the cyclist!

    Glad to hear Don is on his feet and moving around well. Is there anything we can do for you tomorrow?

    To whom it may concern
    thanks for the sunny day; i was getting a bit worried as we were socked in this morning, but i finally rode my bike (for the first time since the surgery) to and from the hospital.
    I rode mostly along Beacon Hill, which has a huge median greenbelt full of the most glorious trees, each one more dazzling than the last.
    thanks.
    the only thing that could have made it better would have been my honey beside me.

    Mimi, I am happy to hear you were able to get out and ride. It brought a smile to my face with how you described it. I hope it will not be too long for Don to make that trip home with you where he belongs. Continue to keep you and him in my thoughts.

    Mimi - I am so glad to hear Don is improving, yayyyy!

    I returned home today to Indiana, but Mom is still in the hospital, her chest tubes are still in. Her progress is slower than expected, but she has improved. I am afraid that combined with the emphysema, they removed just enough of her lung to have a permanent impact on her pulmonary function - and it wasn't great before. Time will tell, and they didn't have much choice. We just hope they got everything.

    Dear Right Thumb,

    You have been infected for 3 weeks and I've taken good care of you. I appreciate that you aren't causing me much pain, I really do. However, when the Keflex didn't cure you, I figured the Sulfa they prescribed would work better than it has, AND I've even been soaking you regularly to draw stuff out of you. I even kept you all bandaged and protected when living at the hospital this week, given the dangerous nature of those places.

    I would prefer to spend my last day off before returning to the office on the mountain bike, not spending my gas money for a visit to the doctor.

    Please be much better in the morning so I can go play in the dirt with my mountain goat.

    Thank you

    Catrin

    Here's hoping this happens soon!
