Boy, is it ever hot here! Today it reached 97 degrees and felt like 107 degrees. I suppose one reason it feels so hot is because Lee now has to be taken to The Living Center and I take him then return three hours later to pick him up. The car always sits in the sun between the rides and it really is about 200 degrees when I get in! Thank goodness for air-conditioning!
Lee was able to complete a modified version of all sessions in the rehab unit today. The good thing is.....it counts as a complete session. So, as of today, he has completed two of the required 23 sessions to graduate from the program! That is a good day. He looks so good! If you did not see him walk and just observed his appearance you would not surmise that he had such a huge operation three weeks ago. In fact, today after we were in the car, I looked over at him in his sunglasses and I asked, "Do you realize how good you look?" He answered, "No, I haven't seen myself yet!". I realized that he had not seen how he looks since surgery and I quickly had him look in the car mirror. "Wow," he said, "I don't look that bad!" So, there you go...............straight from the horses mouth!
Fortunately, he has a good appetite. I fixed chicken 'n dumplings last night for supper and shared them with our new friend who is awaiting a lung. Our friend was thrilled as his wife is a vegetarian and he used to love his Mom's chicken 'n dumplings. We all had them again tonight and they are always better heated over the following day. I've always heard that chicken soup is good for so many things so we'er hoping dumplings are good for new lungs.
Aunt Brenda, You know i had to comment on the chicken 'n dumplings! MY FAVORITE :) good choice.
