A word about my blog .....

I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).

For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.

COMMENTS ARE ENCOURAGED, WELCOMED AND APPRECIATED.

0112 saturday

Usually I go walking on Saturdays, but Steve K had a family emergency and was unable to assist me with my walking exercise. So I stayed at home and concentrated on my therapy exercises.

In the evening, I went to my sister’s place to celebrate my youngest nephew’s fifth birthday. The meal was from CPK (pizza, pasta and salads) and the birthday cake was from Baskin-Robbins. There was a moment when we debated the type of ice cream to serve with the cake, until we realized that the cake was half ice cream already!

I was gang-quizzed by my niece, Katherine, and oldest nephew, Matthew. They both wanted to know if their mother and I got along well while we were growing up together, or if we fought all the time. I responded that we treated each other well, but I don’t think that they believed it. My sister was behind me at the time, so I don’t know if I answered correctly or not. Usually I get advance notice of minefields like these, but not this time. Hmmm.

A YEAR AGO TODAY: The word on the floor is that I will be moved to Rehab very soon. The corneal ulcer is shrinking, and I’ll have the stitches out next week. Physical therapy came by but I was feeling a bit dizzy so my exercises and movements were restricted. BP was 117/79 and temp was normal. Respiratory treatments reduced to “as needed”. No visitors were recorded.
