My recovery is going well. At least according to me. I’m sure the surgeon, who I see Monday, will give me the full lowdown. I just got back from a 15 minute walk and I feel good. I do have the best nurse in the world, that would be Joe of course. My arm is locked in his during each walk.
Yesterday was the first day I was up and moving for most of the day. It was the first day I felt good enough to stay up and moving. Monday through Thursday I would get up and shower and then have to go back to bed and rest for 20 minutes or more before I had the energy to dry my hair. On Monday Joe, being ever to helpful, thought he would dry my hair. You’ve seen pictures of Joe so you know he does not need to use a hairdryer. I could not stop laughing. And it hurts when I laugh. I had to make him stop because my right boob was hurting from so much laughing. He’s going to need some hairdresser training!
Today I sewed on 16 very small circles and about 32 beads to finish one of the blocks going into my next big quilt. Yippee!! Sewing makes me feel even better.
And Cheryl, just so you know, Joe is making sure I do my breathing tests. Seriously, he would have made a great nurse. Maybe he missed his calling……
Having my assistant, Lynn, is a true blessing. It was so wonderful to not have to worry about orders, emails, posts, etc. Lynn just takes care of it and does a great job. It allowed me to focus on recovery. And it allowed Joe to focus on me without having to worry about the business stuff. Thanks Lynn. So glad you work here. You have made my life much, much easier.
I cannot thank you all enough for the outpouring of emails, notes left on my blog (which I finally read today), snail mail, flowers…..you get the idea. I love being a quilter and part of a giving, kind and thoughtful family. I have to stop now before I start to cry. I know I have found my calling…..
