What a joy to have a Saturday and not have to journey to the hospital or to the Center for Living. Even though we could sleep-in, Lee and I were both awake by 6:00 a.m. Old habits die hard, especially as we age. We were able to take our time with breakfast, etc. I mentioned to Lee that I never hear him snore anymore...........he said he had noticed that too. Amazing. It could be attributed to several things. I would suspect that losing 38 lbs , getting a new lung and also having a better functioning heart with the new by-pass are all responsible. I used to be able to judge whether or not he was asleep by his breathing (snoring). Not so now. This has been an added bonus to us both.
Lee says to tell you that he is doing great even though he has a "ways" to go. He says he will get there and that he will be home in Vale before you know it. We are all looking forward to that. We have spent a lot of time talking about things we are looking forward to doing even though we both realize that there will be some restrictions, limitations and precautions that must be adhered to. Nonetheless, Lee can continue to have a very good life and resume some of the things he has always enjoyed. We are both looking forward to a beach trip in the Fall. By that time, it will have been a year since being there. He is looking forward to a round of golf and maybe a little fishing with his buddy, Ted. It will all be according to how well he is doing at that time.
He is looking forward to a visit from Elizabeth shortly............she is going to cut his hair and he really needs that! This afternoon we will have a short visit from his sister Lennie and husband Tom. They are bringing some vegetables from their garden. We have only had one homegrown tomato and that was from my brother Dennis in Raleigh. ( He has a few plants along his sidewalk in the front of his house!) Hope she has some of her famous pound cake. I'll probably have to give Lee extra insulin because he will have to have a taste.
Here's hoping all you blog-followers have a cool and wonderful week-end. We plan to do the same.
More Later............................................Brenda
