Day Seven: The days are just packed
Well, at least that's what I think our good friends Calvin and Hobbes might say about our favorite patient's day on Wednesday.
She received seven get well cards in the mail today, all of them local. Thanks to everyone who sent them. That brings her two-day total to nine. She got two on Tuesday from Pennsylvania, one from our neice Hope and one from our good freind, Lillian.
In the early evening, Captain Barb as John J calls her (or Barb R for everyone else), brought dinner and stayed for a nice chat. Dinner was Honeybaked ham and turkey with all the fixings. It was delicious. Thanks Captain Barb. She also brought an arrangement of handmade flowers that the kids (SPX's teens) made after the early morning mass and pancakes this morning. Each one had a personal message for our favorite patient. Thanks to all.
Tonight, our favorite patient ventured outside for the first time since coming home. She had a good reason, she wanted to shoot some pictures of the lunar eclipse. She thinks she got a couple of good shots. We'll post them later.
After a pretty full day, she's going to bed early tonight. She'll need her rest because tomorrow the staples come out.
Before I close, a special hope you're feeling better to the G6 minus one (they know who they are) who have been battling the flu this week.
Well that's all for now. Until tomorrow.

Hey sista,
Just read your blog and got caught up since you last had surgery. I am of course swamped right smack in the middle of it all!!!!!
So glad you are continuing to heal and sounds like you have a lot of "nurses" looking after you not to mention good comfort food. Yum.
I am looking forward to talking with you or maybe even I could take a road trip to visit with you.
Continued improved health. Thanks to Jeff for keeping us informed. All that talk about blogs with you in D.C. who knew then that we'd be keeping up with your life?
In my thoughts and prayers,
Linda H.
