Sabbath, February 23

After a poor night's rest, John and I are resting comfortably at home.  The day is bright and shiny and our home is lovely for enjoying it.  The home health nurse was here admitting us this morning; took two hours and took it all out of us!  A nurse will be here a couple days a week as will a physical therapist.  I will be administering the IV antibiotic, which Erica taught me this morning.  I also have great support from friends, several of whom are nurses, too, and would gladly help if I had questions.

Made mashed potatoes for John which he said were "divine".  There is so  much to do getting stuff put away, cleaned up, and organizing medical supplies....ugh! 

We are sitting on the couch...oh

joy!  Just read through all the cards that people have sent...a whole large envelope full.  John is amazed and blessed with the love flowing through to him from people everywhere, me too.

There was a lot of snow here but when we arrived, our steps and driveway were all cleaned off, thanks to Dom and neighbor Randy.  So much sun today is melting it all pretty fast, I'm afraid.



Karissa called while we were sitting on the couch.  She will come after her Florida Spring Break for three days, which will be lovely. 

Rosie has been so glad to see us.  She came up on to our bed when we were taking an afternoon snooze.  She crawled into my lap when I sat down on the couch.  And just now, she came up onto our laps on the couch.  The picture below was to be a nice closeup of her.  Can you tell she is camera shy?  Ha!

John is taking another walk around the house.  We don't have the nice long hallways we did at the hospital.  But, we sure prefer this to that!  He just goes around and around in circles.

So, despite the poor night's rest, we are delighted to be in our own home.

Love to you all...
