Hi All. I am plunking away with my jittery typing looking out my window at the downtown Calgary skyline -it sure looks like a frosty morning, but sunny which is cheery.
My chest pain continues but the docs said if it becomes infected they will put in another drainage tube to clear the infection - not a big deal all in all. Other than that I am on the mend - still don't when we will be able to leave - day by day.
Lorraine went to a craft sale yesterday with Tracy - right up her alley and she bought a few items. We are slowly getting ready for Christmas with buying stocking stuffers and ordering gifts online.
Hi Linda! This is my new day off, so I'm home and it's snowing. I'm off to take the dog for a walk in that white "stuff", in the forest--that should give us some exercise! The bears should all be in bed by now. I'm so happy to hear that you are the typist today, just so happy to know that you are that strong, "It's all good!" as Michelle used to say. Miss you lots, with a gentle hug, N.
ReplyDeleteJust took your pooches for a walk. Chicolet scared the quail away as usual and Coadie was beside me . Then we set off for our walk. Good to see you typing again, soon you will be able to come home , not too worry. Off to the gym for a work out . Take care love Lizzy and Bark Bark
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteThis is good prep!
Well, it seems that the doggies are courting European automobiles now. And testing their scaring skills on felines! Ooh, you will have to deprogram them when you get home. I saw them last night when I picked up Liz for Xmas concert at Lav. They barked at first and then I could pet them amongst the wiggles!
Glad you have some energy to blog. Good to connect. This is doubtless some of the trying times, waiting and waiting, forward and back. Wanting your body to respond more quickly so you can get home sooner. Relying on our bodies and others to help is a lesson we would sometimes rather forgo. I got a big shot of the relying on others this fall when C took on Charlie. I had to ask many others to help with rides for him and other bits. I did not even meet some of those kind and helpful people until the end of the Charlie ride. Humbling, but yet again, apparently I am part of a community....that old saying about it takes a community to raise a child, perhaps we should change it to it takes a whole community to raise/support/engage/journey with a person
With lots of love from us all.
Well your typing looks good to me! And day-to-day isn't such a bad thing... sorta like how I'm approaching MY work these days! ;) but admitting I'm not working as hard as you. love you my friend.
ReplyDeleteHey Linda...good to see your plunking away at us all !! It's been snowing here the past few days so it's been off to the BIG Fulton hill for sledding...what a hoot...Bob (squared) were even on the hill !!!!!!!!

Hi Linda!
ReplyDeleteGood to "hear" your voice. Glad to see that you are partaking in a little retail therapy via online shopping. Day-by-Day is definitely a good approach to take, many of us should incorporate it into our lives.

So great to be hearing from you each day, Linda! And I'm also thinking about what a wonderful string of friends you have as I read today's postings.
ReplyDeleteI think of you so often each day! I'm so glad you've got a team of folks monitoring all your "ins and outs" and who can help you push through to wellness.
I miss you, buddy! Keep the posts coming! :-)
