Yes, that's a song! Who sings it?
I really am getting stronger and a little better everyday! Which is nice! I'll take any and all the progress I can get!
Still can't drive, can't lift more than 10 lbs (you would really be surprised how everything seems to weigh more than 10 lbs -- including just shifting your body), definitely lost lung capacity -- but feel a ton better than 3 weeks ago! So I'll take it! Oh yeah, the drains are STILL in. You will hear the celebration when those things come out -- trust me!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! We live next to a catholic church and school and their Oktoberfest was this past weekend. They had a few rides, game booths, auctions and bands. It just so happened that the kids would be just about in front of our house when they spotted the rides. The squeals of delight and amazement were so cute. They kept me chuckling all weekend long.
What do I miss most? That probably changes everyday and aside from not being able to do whatever I want (like open a window for example), I miss cooking! Funny, I wouldn't have guessed that leading into all this. Lesson - appreciate the little things that you do (they may not be so little some day). :-)
So glad to hear that you are feeling stronger. Nothing wrong with naps if you can take them! This nice weather is bringing breezes through the windows...hope you can enjoy those!
ReplyDeleteHope to see you while we are in Clifton later in the week!
Relax and enjoy the fact that you won't have to rake leaves this Fall! Go Reds!
Love, Carolyn
hey susan - you've been so upbeat in all your posts but this one definitely has noticeable change - a good one :)
ReplyDeleteso oktoberfest and children - i thought it was all about how much beer one could consume - maybe because that's all octoberfest is in san francisco - but what do you expect in a city where there are more dogs than children
on a more serious note i'm so glad to hear you are getting stronger and feeling better on a daily basis
