The Process Continues

Bulli likes a little "perk", too! He's discovered Blue Bell Vanilla and he's pretty sure he likes it!

Sharon, napping in her "Eskimo" mode! There's more depth in those covers than meets the eye!! LOL

This temp was more suitable and acceptable to her needs today! Not much for sunbathing, she sure enjoyed it today!

Our first Saturday in the Extended Stay Post-Op is now history! We made it with very little problems, if you discount Sharon needing to wear a parka and wolf fur hood all day! [:D] She is still in the "thin blood" mode and is about to freeze at the least bit of cool! We had her bundled up all morning and finally took her out to sit on the bench at the front door mid afternoon. She sat basking for a pretty good while and came in warm for the first time all day! Of course, that didn't last long before the warm clothing came out again. I have turned up the t'stat a little but it is so sensitive that it ranges from comfortable (my definition) to scorching (again, my definition!) with just a touch of the lever! There doesn't seem to be any mid-point!

Milestone day - Sharon put together lunch for us! This suite we're in is handicap designed and the kitchen is built for the use of a wheelchair. The dining chairs here are actually wheeled desk chairs (great idea, BTW!) and the first thing I knew anything was going on, she s aid "Lunch is ready!" She had scooted around on one of the chairs and put it together for us! We both were proud of this seemingly "small" accomplishment! I followed up later with my Pretzel coated Smashed Pork Chops!

Other big news of the day! MamaCache, one of our caching friends, borrowed a wheelchair from someone and brought it to us! Nice chair! This will give her a whole new horizon and I can get her out to the "warm-zone" much more often! I didn't want to get a script for one here and have to transport it back to Nashville (a space deficient thing in a little motorhome!) but we will get one once we get back. We can do that easily now thanks to this great act of friendship! Thank you so much, Sharon (MamaCache) and to the unknown benefactor who loaned it to us! I do regret that there was a total screwup at the desk and they sent you on a total wildgoose chase instead of giving you the proper room number!

We are seemingly settling in even farther into our routine. We just need to shift the infusion time forward a little so it doesn't end so late in the evening and we can get to bed a little earlier to be back on a more normal set of hours!

Cheers!
