Lots of good stuff to report today. Although I had a restless night, my day as been filled with great achievements. The biggest news is that I WALKED all the way down the hall and back three different times today. I wasn't the speediest person; I was in the slow lane, and wasn't thrilled that older people were passing me, but I let it go! When I wasn't walking, I was sitting in a chair for much of the day--way different than yesterday. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you: the first thing I did this morning even before getting out of bed was video Skype with my sweet boy! Austin seems happy and is getting ready to go with a big group to Carnaval in Basque country.
The picture above shows me with my "left-hand man," Fernando, one of my favorite nurses. He was my companion during each walk today.
The last bit of news is that I now need to get out of bed to use the bathroom. For some reason they gave me an extra-large commode. This insulted me, but Fernando claimed it was the only one available. Hmmm...
That's all for now. Glad you're still reading this blog! You know me, I check for comments all the time. Reminder: if you are having trouble posting your comment (and you know who you are!) just email Theresa (theresachaides@mac.com) and she will do it for you.
So glad to see you up and smiling!! love you xoxo

You know you're old if your walker has an airbag.

I have no idea why it says "Claire Said" before my post- although it was my cat's name so I guess I made my cat my google identity? Weird right? Oh well, we're a weird bunch
ReplyDeletelove you Amy

You look great!! I'm having fun reading everyone's comments!!! I called Mary and told her how much you appreciated the paper dolls. She asked if there were anything she could do. I think it's amazing you do all these pictures on your blog, very fun.
