I came home today, still feeling like crap, but home is home and I hope to finally get a bit of sleep tonight, if not all that much rest.
Being in a hospital on a machine that holds bags of various meds and fluids is really hard to deal with. I had needles in so many places in both arms that I look dreadful until all those bruises go away.
I was standing yesterday, trying to unwrap all the lines and cords so I could walk with that contraption to the bathroom. I spend a lot of time in coughing spasms (still), and as all the ladies will know that severe coughing causes a loss of bladder control. There I am, trying to stop coughing and to get to the point where I can walk into the bathroom before having a serious accident. Too late, I peed on the floor!
NO! SHAME ON YOU, BAD DOG! BARK WHEN YOU NEED TO GO OUT!
I'm too tired to hold my head up for much longer, so I'll be back in a day or so. I am overwhelmed by all the beautiful wishes for my recovery, and I thank you all. I also thank my children and their spouses for taking such great care of me. And we didn't get rowdy enough to get evicted from the hospital when they all came to visit me the first night. Of course I wasn't being very rowdy, myself.

- Still Laying Low
Just checking in to say not much has changed for me. I'm feeling better and would probably do well to get some exercise. I think maybe I'll go walking at Mather Field tomorrow and see how far I can walk. Walking from the house...
- Post Op
Jeannie took me to my post op this morning, and my mood has been swinging wildly for the last few days anyway, nearly driving me crazy today. I've gone through periods of wanting to just sit and cry, as well as those of just plain depression. ...
- Getting My Exercise
Yesterday at sundown I went out for my evening walk and hoped this time to extend it to a mile and a half or more. I hadn't gone far when I saw a woman getting mail from her mailbox but her little dog evidently wasn't on a leash and took...
- Something Going Around
My daughter told me that yesterday her mother-in-law, who has been congested and coughing a lot, drove herself to the hospital where I was treated for pneumonia. She went to the emergency room and they determined that she also had pneumonia. After X-rays,...
