Joe Does a Good Deed
I was catching up on Joe's twitter feed and he has posted a picture of a baby seal that he saw on the beach. Since he thought it looked sick and tired, he called someone to come look and they took it to (I suppose) a rehab facility. He said the seal would be getting sushi there! Proves he's a good guy. -
Tiny Update
Not much has changed. He's sitting up a lot more, mostly in a wheelchair which makes it more convenient to get him to and from the rehab rooms. They're huge spaces, larger than some gyms I've seen and have lots of machines for specific exercises. Some of the areas are set up to look and feel like you're in a home with the typical obstacles you'd ( Read more... ) -
Sort of an Update
I had a 24 hour bug and since I was running a fever, I didn't go to the center today. Hubby and I talked several times on the phone and he sounded fine. He was even pleased that both his lunch and dinner had been edible. So I'll go out tomorrow afternoon barring any more complications. I just didn't think it was wise to go where people are sick ( Read more... ) -
'Nother Update
Hubby was transported from the hospital to the rehab center after lunch today. I hope that what I've heard about this facility is better than what I saw. One of the nurses made the comment that the center was past due for an upgrade and I couldn't agree more. The hallways looked nice but the rooms are lacking. He is in a semi-private room and I ( Read more... ) -
Update
Back from the hospital and encouraged by some progress that Hubby has made. He was allowed to sit in a chair most of the day and walked a bit (with a walker and a lot of help). He's still in a lot of pain but the doctor has his pain pills on a shorter schedule so that he gets relief before the prior pill wears off ( Read more... ) -
Not So Merry Update
Hubby is still in the hospital. He's progressed from morphine to oxycontin so he's actually making a little more sense when he's conscious. He's still in some pain and has no appetite, so I've been coaxing him to eat at least a little bit. I've learned that Ensure can be your friend ( Read more... ) -
Not So Merry Christmas
I'll be spending Christmas in the hospital. Hubby has a badly broken leg. We had gone to the Eye Center for his appointment (just a check-up) and as we were going through the double doors the entry rug had gotten rucked up. I walked past it and suddenly something hit me in the back. I staggered a few steps, but got my balance and turned around ( Read more... ) -
Netflex - Looking for advice
Question for Netflix users: How does it work? I know that I have to buy a box (I'm looking at Roku III), I don't have Wi-Fi but Roku is HDMI compliant. Are movies and/or TV shows charged individually as well or does the $8.00 per month cover the cost of the shows. Any and all advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance ( Read more... ) -
The Jack Haldean Mysteries
Sorry, I can't remember who recommended these books to me. I've just gotten the first one and haven't even read it yet but I still wanted to thank you. Just browsing through the book has gotten me very hopeful that it's going to be a good read. Thanks again! -
Birthday
I was born 63 years ago today. My birthday seems weirder every year. Sometimes I feel like I'm 18 but, depending on a lot of factors, at times I feel as though I'm 118. Guess that's how it goes. Thanks to everyone who remembered. I really appreciate it.
