| Yes, all. This will be the hardest time for her. She is a very active, industrious person. In the long run, a period of enforced relaxation will probably do her good, but she has been going around with a "what am I going to do with myself?" attitude since she first got the news. She will need a bit of patience and understanding from us for the next few weeks.
Thanks for caring.

| I was very perky and even changed my own bed--I received no discount for doing it and wonder why I did it. Tell her to watch a Crowe movie and enjoy herself. |

| That, Alice, would be a contradiction in terms. Let's just say she does not share her mother's obsession. She made a special trip to 1/2-Priced Books late last week, and has her trusty ipad Kindle, which, hopefully, has a copy of Redstone Stories on it. Ann |

| Just got back from a short visit with Lynn; I took their dinner over and she insisted I stay a few minutes. She's doing really well, all things considered. She's been getting up and taking short walks - just on the bedroom level; the drs say no stairs, and they're everywhere in that house. Her spirits are good; her eyes and cheeks look healthy. She says she knows that she is going to get bored before long, but she has her ipad filled with books and movies for the next few days, anyway. So, thanks, everyone for the thoughts and prayers.
I guess the biggest thing now will be keeping her down while she heals.
Chris has taken a week off and is doing a very good job of just that.
So, I should probably have entered this post on the joy thread.
Thanks again.

| Thursday dinner was at Lynn's and Chris's tonight. She's still not up to getting out and around and riding in cars just yet, but is really doing well, all things considered. She had an appointment with her Dr. yesterday, and was told she was recovering extremely well.
She asked if that meant she could go back to work after two weeks; the Dr. said, "NO."
I'm glad. Too many of my friends who had this surgery felt so good after a couple of weeks they did too much too soon, and six weeks later were still feeling weak and washed out.
I took enough Tinga and trimmings to last them a couple of days. Chris is going back to work part time now. She's managing the stairs OK, but she doesn't need to be cooking yet.
So far she hasn't told me to "back" off, so I think we're good.
