Home update…

Hi to everyone.  I came home from the hospital late yesterday afternoon.  Things went well.  Now I have to do nothing for the next 3 days and lift nothing heavier than 10 pounds.  Not easy because my purse probably weighs that much.  I am tired and didn’t get much rest last night from trying to lie flat on my back all night.  Not easy.  I see my primary care physician on Thursday.

My brother is still in the hospital and not doing well.   He is on morphine for his headaches which are not being controlled.  His wife is content with the doctor they have now and so far has given no thought to his going to Barnes Hospital in St Louis.  Unfortunately, not my call.

And speaking of St Louis, I watched the game Sunday night and it was awesome, one hit after another for both sides.  Kudos to the Brewers too, my hat is off to them.  That said, it will take a miracle for the Cards to keep pushing on, but hey, I believe in miracles, and especially the power of prayer.  Thank you all for the comments to my last post.

I see a bit of green grass peeking through the straw and leaves which make up my front lawn.  My daughter stayed with me last night and she picked up some leaves that got tracked in.

Thanks to my other Bro for cheering the Cardinals on.

    Oh boo hoo, so you don't have to do nothing for 3 days, i say enjoy it, relax and just be, you don't have to occupy your whole day with doing something.,

    Sorry to read that your bro is not doing well. I would have thought they would have taken him to the hospital more equipped to deal with, managing the headaches would do little if their is a bleed in the brain. Oh well I guess they get to manage their care they way they see fit.

    Girl rest up, enjoy looking at your toes, in fact get them done, get yourself a mani/pedi.

    Have a good day.
    girl its cold here, on my way to work (didn't have a jacket) when the wind hit me i'd scream and people kept looking at me and laughing in understanding of the cold bite.

  14. I am so sorry that his headache is uncontrolled. I can't imagine how horrible that must be for him. And I'm sure that his wofe and you as well feel helpless more or less as there is nothing you can do though you'd move heaven and earth if you could.

    I'm happy you are back and recuperating and will be up and running so to speak very quickly. Sending love and hugs and purrs. xoxoxoxox

  18. I've been thinking of you and your procedure. Brought back a lot of memories of my MIL and the heart caths that she would have every so often. She hated lying flat and the "do nothing for 3 days" rule. I laughed so hard at the "my purse weighs more than 10 lbs." statement coz my mom says that all the time. Hopefully you will back on your feet soon.

    Sorry to hear that your brother's headaches aren't being controlled. There's nothing worse than a headache that just won't ever go away.

    Life at The Big Dog House is going well. Prince Charming is working and we're adapting to his strange schedule. We're living our happily ever after right now even though we still have some rough stretches ahead of us.

    Hugs from me and puppy kisses from Rocky and Millie!
