Get It Yourself!

 

I looked out the window from our 8th floor hospital room at 3 am the night I spent there. Looks like I wasn't the only one awake.

A different angle. Look way into the horizon ..... I am homesick. I suppose I should warn you about the disturbing image of the surgery site. Let me just say, it looks very good. No stitches, all glue. So, not only is my husband part cow now, they superglued him back together!


He is walking much better today. The wounds look about the same. His left foot tends to swell, but this is to be expected. The blood is flowing so much better now.

He is navigating with only a cane and is becoming a little more impatient. He is healing and I am looking forward to telling him to get it himself!

    HeWho's incisions look much better than I would have expected. I can understand how he might be reluctant to walk. Though his reason might be the pain, I would be afraid of pulling apart the incision by moving too much. I hope Toni Louise can refrain from jumping on him!

    Superglue is amazing stuff, even holding people together! The wounds look quite neat and probably won't scar too much. Good to hear the blood flow is much better now.

    Hi, Kathy. Given your history, I worry when you go very long without posting. I hope all is going well. Of course there's Christmas in a couple of days; don't remember if you told us what your plans were. Then there's the huge weather event. A factor in what's happening, I'm sure. It's 12° here in TX right now. The 12 MPH north wind gives us a windchill of -2°. Really a nightmare for my little Yorkies. I double wrap them to send out the back door; it's incredible how cold they are when they come running back! Merry Christmas.

  Let's see if I did this right! Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures. Only one way to find out .... This is where it all started. On a rainy day in October, 2021. The first view of the rest of our lives. Here he is, the love of my life pondering this property he had proclaimed to be over our budget.  Here is the front view. The drizzling rain makes the house look like it needs a good power wash. Not to worry, we have one. While I am not a big fan of the screen door entry, this can be changed. This is the view that convinced HeWho proclaimed this property to be over the budget I had set to make an offer that very day. You can't see it from this picture, but a trout stream with rushing water hides down below. I will eventually get a good shot when I finally start to make some steps down to the water. We are old and do not want to fall and suffer any broken bones! The area behind the stream is never to be developed. This existing tiny shed will become my sewing room. I ...

  While awaiting the newest stove delivery I have been working in my She Shed, but the last several days have been overcast, damp and chilly. This has kept me inside. I tired quickly of Netflix and TV in general. Idle hands make me anxious, so I employed the help of HeWho sits and got down all the boxes of photos to sort. I have been saying I would get to them one day when I had nothing to do ..... Strolling down memory lane with each stack. I kept stopping to text pictures to my kids and laughing with them. Then I hit a stack that made me profoundly sad and happy all at the same time. It was pictures with my sister on a cruise with her friend that became mine, too. We had so much fun despite me being homesick. Here we are departing. The winds were high! This is my sister. My big sister, always ready to take care of me. My only sibling. This is Gloria, partner in crime to my sister's antics when I wasn't around. Three three of us indulged in a rum drink called "the Love Co...

Final Chapter!

  So, you may recall that the delivery did not happen on Tuesday, but was supposedly changed to Thursday. I was skeptical. I was right to be skeptical. HeWho patiently waits on hold, was told that the stove had yet to arrive from Atlanta. They were unaware that he had been notified by text that the stove had arrived in Murphy the day before ad was ready for pick up. When he confronted the store manager with this bit of information, the excuses began once again. The delivery truck was already out for the day and nothing could be added. The stove did not arrive before 6am and therefore could not be added to the day's deliveries. Judge Judy is apt to tell a witness that if you tell the truth, you don't have a need to remember what you said earlier. Finally, HeWho has had enough! He told the liar on the other end of the phone to cancel the order and refund our credit card. I was listening and can tell you I have never heard such relief in a man's voice as the liar's had. He...
