I'm Back......

Hi all, supper is finished and now the big controversy here on 5B is that "someone" says that we all have to eat in the dinning room, no more trays in the rooms......well steam came out my ears and the rebel in me (oh yes there is a rebel in me...somewhere.....) got fired up....to make a short story shorter....I just went in and put my tray on my lap and my roommates by the way, and one of the non biased nurses rolled me to my room...not a word was said and we all ate peacefully....well, you have to take whatever excitement you can get where you can get it haha



I am staying here for the weekend, going out Sat. with my good longtime (was going to say old friend but...:) friend Debbie to see her son get his head shaved for Cancer...hope I might pick up a few summer clothes to...don't know what size I take anymore as I lost 15lbs but I have to figure in the toneless muscles that are paralyzed ..esp. in my midrift...hmmmm



I go see Dr. Oxner about my neck on June 5th....say a prayer for that please...thank you. Oh and about the word thank-you which I was taught to respond with "your welcome" well guess that is of the past, we have student nurses here and every time you say thankyou they respond with " no problem" like it could have been a problem! The Student nurses are all very sweet and very young and very sure of themselves.Fortunately or unfortunately they don't assign one to me because there is nothing for them to do.....wash my teds maybe (Teds are the very tight white elastic stockings I have to wear) but it is interesting in a 4 bed ward working on others.



I am much to my chagrin taking warfarin a blood thinner, yes it is the stuff they kill rats with, as result I have some very fancy bruises interestingly mostly on my right arms and leg.....I have to take them because I had a blood clot in my arm in ICU....so I am on them for a few more weeks.

Now that Deanna has sent me the instructions on how to get on I should be ok and check in regularly. By the way I am still in awe of the great work you all did for me....love in motion eh!

You all are the greatest!

Love ya
