Tuesday

 Another recovery day.  Woo.  I must be dealing with an old body.  Maybe just older sounds a little better.  There was a good long night of sleep, but it just didn't feel like enough.  The day was starting so I got started as well.  There was a little of this and that and then around 10 I was off north for a couple of miles.  

                         One of my favorite banners made by Patty now stashed away till next Nov.                                                     It's the journey with the manger, a little covered up in this picture.

The first stop was at Goodwill.  No luck there but it was good to have a short visit anyway.  The PT center was close by and once again there were a few papers to fill out and then I met Michael Mae.  He had Daren in training soon to be a 7 year PT graduate.  All PT's have a doctor's degree.  In a sense it reminded me of the student teachers that I shadowed for a much shorter period to time to be sure.  

So there were questions and then a series of things to do that were given a number grade added up as a pass or not pass.  A few were easy but more were not.  The added number result told us that it was proven I needed to use a cane putting me in the easy to fall group.  The cane was new, the fall group I figured out having fallen three times in Nov.  I flunked the Neurologist's test in December who referred me on to Michael who uncovered the truth again today.  There is homework and I'll be back at school next Tuesday.  This has happened before and it's happened again.

So, back home reporting the results.  This thing I live in is still pretty spent from Monday's work and I think things will be better soon, real soon. 

Another left over Christmas picture.  This scene has been repeated every year since Jacob was little with stocking opening.

The afternoon saw a little time at the Y on the treadmill and Nu Step.  Then I made a Kroger visit for some distilled water.  Home again to the chair with knitting in my hands but sleep becoming what really happened.  Not many stitches get completed with the head in la, la land.  

                                        A few more have been added since I took this picture.  

Supper was the Beans/Potatoes and Ham dish again.  I've got to do a change for tomorrow's evening meal.  It's getting a bit predictable. Easy does it no matter what with an evening of not much happening.

Monday

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

Amazing Saturday

 For many reasons it has been an amazing day.  One to remember as long as memory allows me.   Once again sleep did not stick with me, so I was once again out of bed around 1 last night.  I thought of checking the IU Portal for whatever it was going to tell me.  And it did a lot of talking about the scan that happened Wednesday.  The Easter portal news is that all cancer related things seem to be pretty stable with even some slight improvement in one area. Ever so slight but that still is great news.  So. for now, I feel like the stone has been rolled away and new life is with me.  Thanks be to God.  So back to bed and I slept till 6.  I'll take it with Thanksgiving.  Breakfast came and the clock proved it was time to leave for Church to get a jump on Easter visuals before the crew arrived.                 New members Hannah and Andrew working in the chapel with the lamb and...

 Back home again in Indiana.  That's where we were arriving late afternoon yesterday after a wonderful time with Jared, Kimmy and the grandsons adding Kimmy's many relatives to our visit.  It was just what I needed.                                                         Happy times but good grief.  What's with the hair, girl?      We arrived late at the Jared/Kimmy Russell home Thursday afternoon again rediscovering family again along with many free-range chickens, three cats, joe, the horse, three ducks four ewes and Eli's sheep for this year's 4-H entry.  Numerous goldfish would join us later in the week.       This is Eli's friend Hope holding renamed Barb because her nest was found hidden in the rhubarb.             ...
