Well, haven't I been remiss at posting! Sorry!! Linda has just been adamant about getting out each day and I think it's done her good to be up and showered and dressed - more like real life (she's just sick of hospital life!!). Her feeding tube become clogged/blocked on Tuesday morning and it was removed so she had a couple of days of being tube-free. However, she wasn't supposed to be eating so she didn't have a whole lot of nutrition going in. She talked the Doc into letting her have the tube out yesterday, too, so when we came to Tracy's to watch The Kids Are All Right, she had a bowl of chicken soup (made by yours truly) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Today we went to a mall and she bought an iPad - she's been talking about getting one since before she went into Foothills in September so I'm thinking this purchase was way overdue. She did have the feeding tube inserted this morning - done by a real doc, not a resident - so it wasn't too much of a 'pain'. Drains are still draining, but lessening considerably!!
Talked to Lucille last night and her cast will be on until close to the end of January, but off before her back-to-back cruising in February. The cast may limit her bowling skills though!
Just in case, I don't get on tomorrow - Hope you all have a great New Year's Celebration and that the coming year is healthy(!!!!!!!) and full of laughter and hugs and chocolate and walks with dogs and butter!!
Happy New Year Lorraine, Linda, and Tracy. So glad Linda is getting out and had some yummy home made chicken soup! We have had lots of turkey soup lately. I love all the left overs it makes the holidays so much easier! I hope to hear that the feeding tube will be permanently removed very soon and that you two are on your way home. Keep up the good work and healing Linda. Here's to a Happy, Healthy 2011 for all of us!!! Hugs from Ren and Den

Imagine! Linda getting out and about getting in the way of OUR blog! LOL Good news, and so happy she could enjoy your chicken soup. She can now trade iPad secrets with David. :) Sending love and happiest of thoughts.
ReplyDeleteLinda & Lorraine, So nice to hear you are out and about LInda. I am sure it makes the time pass more quickly and more importantly I am sure it is nice to see other things than the same walls of the hospital day after day. I wish you both the very best possible for the New Year. Can't think of two people who deserve it more. Have a happy and safe New Years and look forward to reading the blog in the new year especially when it will be from Vernon. Please wish Lucille a Happy New Year for me as well. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
ReplyDeleteOk . . .I'll admit it right up front . . .I have a wee bit of iPad envy :-). Good for you, Linda! You've always been my technology teacher, so now I can look forward to you showing me all I need to know about iPads before you and I make a trip to the Mac store for me to buy one, too!!
ReplyDelete"Up, showered and dressed" sounds like the same goals I've set for myself this week! Its been pretty low key over the holiday break . . .and that's just fine by me!
2011 starts tomorrow - and I've got a really strong feeling its going to be a year of achievements and milestones. Happy New Year to Linda, Lorraine, Lucille, Tracy, and all the L2 Bloggers out there!
So glad to hear Linda purchased an iPad...Santa brought me one for Christmas and I absolutely love it! I know she'll love it too!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year ladies!
Arrived home this morning after much cuddling with Baby Finn....that's the best gift ever (:
ReplyDeleteHard to believe it's 2011 tomorro...a year of new beginnings, some hugs & chocolate, lots of laughter with family & friends!
Happy New Year Linda & Lorraine XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
Love Pat & Jean Paul
Happy New Year to you both and Tracy as well!
ReplyDeleteCameron and I are going off to see the HP movie. We are going to watch the Kids movie you mentioned tomorrow. A friend has rented it.
Up and out each day eh? Moving on may be coming soon! Keep up the spirits as you usher in 2011
