Those Lazy Hazy Days of Sunday!!


Pardon the plagarism of the title for this but it is quite descriptive of the day! Come to think of it, many of you will not recognize the song title that was perloined from, so it really doesn't matter since the 18 copyright is long over!!! Have had a great day! Sharon was totally drug free last night and slept rather well, considering that she got up at 3:30 and moved to her chair. I woke aroung 7:30 and she was deeply sleeping. I sneaked in and made the coffee and read e-mail, surfed the 'net for a while and she finally opened her eyes and asked what I was doing! They sent her home with both light sleeping aid pills and pain pills, but last night she went without and did rather well. She said it was her best night yet! Yahoo!!!!


She begins her home nursing care tomorrow. She must have ten of those sessions before we have her first check at the doctors. They are coming three days a week so it will take time for the appointment to get here!! This home care will include helping get certain things done and some basic care. They do breakfast, get her washed and then a little Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy to continue the process that Integra started. One of our goals is to be able to get her into the vehicle so we can get her home!! That is beginning to be a bigger incentive for her everyday! I contend that she's better off here right now because it's so much smaller with less things she wants to "fix!" At home, there'd be a whole house of "things to do!" Sometimes, smaller is bigger!!!


We had a light breakfast of leftovers this morning and, mid-afternoon I asked what she wanted to have for lunch/dinner! Her almost immediate reaction was that she wanted a California Salad from Planet Burrito. www.planet-burrito.com Now, I wouldn't say we've been there frequently, but I'm on a first name basis with both the General Manager and the store manager and have had a free meal from one of their punch cards and am about half way to my next! So I went down to the Planet to grab what she wanted! (against my will, of course!) Thought you'd like to see her enjoying one of her favorite meals at home! Note the creative use for the PB take-out bag!!

Hi Sharon & Joe,

We want you to know that y'all have been in our thoughts and prayers since the beginning of this difficult ordeal.

Sharon...you look fantastic!

We know that The Lord is watching over you and that He has great plans for you in the future.

Be sure to listen to the Doctors and keep up your PT so you'll be able to make a painless transition to your home in Nashville.

Joe...You The Man!

Bulli...You've been a brave doggie and Team BM is looking forward to some caching real soon!

We miss y'all....

God bless,

Mike and Joan
