What a Day!

Sharon and Jane Jones on a rare visit!

The Main Battle Tank is now gone! It measured almost 8 feet long like this!

Some days start of easy and then ramp up into a day beyond your wildest dreams! Today started in a rather normal day, you know, a cuppa', check the e-mail, then drift into watching the incision heal! Just about the second cuppa' and the second e-mail box, the phone rang! They were coming to pick up the MBT (that's a MONSTER wheel chair, for those that may be just tuning in!)! Yeaaaaa! Now we won't have to turn sideways to get into the kitchen and to the front door!! Will be there between 12 and 2! Fine! Wait, Dave from PT is to be here at 1! OK, that's alright! Dave doesn't interfere with me! I'll be available for the chair turn-in! Be alright! Oh, since we've had breakfast, fed and walked Bulli, we have some time before 12! Phew! Let's sit for a bit! Oh, can't do that! Have to do a couple of loads of wash! No prob! Plenty of time! Loads in! House phone rings! Manager calling to tell me of an account adjustment we had coming and it would be applied for this week! Fine! Knock on door! Goodbye, MBT!! YEAAAA!! It's gone!! Phone rings! Hello! It's Jane Jones from Arkansas! She and Sharon traveled all over the Orient while we were in Taiwan! Wow! Of course you can come by! What a surprise!! Give directions! She'll be here in a few minutes! Knock on door! Come in, Dave! Off to supervise PT! OH! I have to take shirts out of the dryer before they get TOO shrunk! (You have to watch them! They have ONE speed for heat! I've considered getting some peanuts and roasting a batch in them!! They're THAT hot!!) Dave's walking Sharon, I'm getting clothes out of laundry! As I come back down the hall to the room, I see a familiar figure ahead of me! Hi Jane! Great visit! We all took her out back to show her what a geocache is, since she asked! Gave her the GPS and let her "follow the needle" to get her very first 'cache! OH, THAT's what it's all about! Drop in again, Jane! Wow! It's three o'clock! Where did the day go? OK, off to grab some LUNCH! I felt like a Mooyah Burger! (Just burgers, just fries, just right! That's their slogan!) MOOOOYYYAAAAHHH! Wow! That was good! Bulli even got to ride with me since it's rather cool here now! He was so glad to get out of the "house."

Sharon has done really well this week so far! Visits and cards mean so much to her because they are a "touch" from the outside world! I put that in prospective of her being in "house-arrest." She and Jane met while Jane was working at Morrison Academy in Taichung, Taiwan. Jane was able to take off so they could take several trips together. I believe they went to Singapore, Bejing, and Seoul Korea as a minimum and maybe, other places! What a friendship and what a visit today. Jane wasn't able to stay very long, but the time here was so precious in it's effect on Sharon's morale! Thank you, Jane! We love you!!

Other than a trip to REI to pick up a spoke wrench, our day was uneventful! Darn, we really didn't have a chance to watch the incision today!!! [:D]

Cheers!
