Tuesday Roll Call

Hello all! Not much going on in my world today other than walking in the house when I should, incentive spirometer, pain meds, shower, force myself to eat (I am not hungry at all), make a list of who to send thank you cards to, keep track of the temp & BP, write my food and drink logs, ZZZZZZ - take nappy time - ZZZZZZ . . .  You have the gist of my world today.

What is happening in your corner of Illini Land?

  &  

Crazy little snow last night here.

When it got dark at 3 pm I went nappy time myself and it did not keep me from being sleepy at bedtime.  I did not feel well yesterday morning and slept until 9:15 am.

I am hoping this is not a trend but going through the drudge of making notes for a Python open everything except somebody else final that has to be taken in three hours.  Some profs can get really over the top when they can say that you had everything you needed.

Hello everyone

I'm still so happy and surprised to get pictures from Amanda.  It was the last thing I was expecting.  There were 200 in all.  I really only posted a very small sampling for you guys.  It was great to finally put a picture to everything Amanda has been telling me.  And it really is as primitive as I pictured it in my head.  But everyone seems very kind and loving.  Right now Amanda is wayyy up in the mountains (about 5000 ft to be exact). 

Christine- I am happy to see you home and puttering around the house.  I am sure you will have a speedy recovery.

I am not doing anything special today...so I am going to finish getting ready now.

See you all later...bye

Good Morning All,

Nothing exciting in my world today. Its back to work, and I suppose lots of complaints about us not being open yesterday. 

We did start putting the outside decorations up yesterday. I also did a big pot of veggie beef soup for today. It is a "free" meal.

 I bought a small roast last week for beef stew, used 1/2. Took the otherhalf, and cooked it like a roast for yesterday, then took what was left for soup  for today/

Heading out into this cold morning.

Chris, you have a full day planned. 

Randy. do good on your final.

Hugs. LISA

Good Morning Everyone!

It is chilly out there this morning.  I love my remote starter!    It makes it easy to clean windows in the morning. 

Chris, your day sounds a little more practical than yesterday.  Get well soon!

Lisa, dont you just wish you could tell people where to go at times?  We want to help but do they have to be so rude about it?

Crystal, I am sure you were delighted looking through all the pictures.  What a pleasure.

Randy, good luck for your final.  When is it?

Everyone have a great day.

My goal today is to quit coughing and to regain my voice. 

Well, the activity that I did yesterday is not anymore than what the doc has authorized. I am to be up and moving in the house for a minimum of 10 minutes out of each hour. The car trip was necessary with a stop in at work on the way home. It was no more than 10 miles round trip. I actually am getting less activity here in the house than what I did in the hospital the 2 days before I left. I sometimes would be walking the halls for close to 30 minutes out of each hour. Activity=no blood clots. Activity=endurance.

Final is on my schedule but by sometime on the 19th.

Christine, you do as the doc says and you will be up and at it before you know it. I will be attending the Holiday group in Dec. I do hope you are up to attending. I would so love to see you and Dave. I have it off already at work. I just pray nothing keeps me from coming up!

Hope to see you soon!
