What A Difference A Day Makes!

Lee and I both slept a straight 10 hours last night.  We have been sleeping @ 4 and 5  and sometimes 2-hour intervals for so long that last night was a treat.  We have had a very, very good day.  Lee, once again, was able to complete all sessions at the CFL.  One of the transplant friends who had his transplant the 2nd week of July, commented that Lee had improved 50 % since yesterday! The physical therapist confirmed that he did  In addition to a good day at rehab, Lee began his day with his first shower in a long time.  We had to wait until today when the electrodes were removed from his chest because of the holter-monitor.  He really enjoyed that shower.  He is able to do this without concern for time (which was so stressful when he had to have the oxygen, and we had to closely watch the levels.  He usually emptied a tank or cylinder of oxygen to shower).  Each day we realize how blessed and fortunate he is to have a good lung.

As I write this blog, he is watching T.V. and he wants you to know that things are getting better for him and that he feels they will continue to get better if he does not encounter another "bump in the road".  We both think of you, our friends, family, followers who are so faithful with your thoughts and prayers for us.  What a comfort to us to know you are there all the time.  He says to say thank you for all the cards and for your comments on the blog.  He looks forward to reading every correspondance.

While Lee was at the CFL, I made a quick stop @ the grocery and then back to the condo.  I called my two neighbor caregivers and we sat outside in the courtyard and enjoyed a cappucino chiller.  This has become the highlight of at least one afternoon per week.  All of this depends, of course, on whether or not we are all free from clinic or bronchoscopy days.  I have become quite good at making those delicious treats and must say that mine taste as good as TCBY.  I will share my recipe for you to enjoy:

Low fat vanilla frozen yogurt
cold coffee
low fat whipping cream ( in can)
Sprinkle of cinnamon
Stir frozen yogurt, coffee together to milk shake consistency, pour into glass, top with W/cream and sprinkle with cinnamon
ENJOY

Now you know that we are doing much better when I have the time to share a simple recipe.

Blessings to all..................................More Later.............................Brenda
