Fourth day home

Gratitude is what a good life contains.

I'm very thankful for all the help I have had.  I don't need much help, and organizing it is taxing.

So on this the fouth day, my neighbor Jules came to help me out.

I made a grocery shopping list for her, she got the mail, and took out the trash.

With her doing those errands - I got the freezer cleaned out of food I could no long eat.

Ordered the new blender that should help making my new restricted diet easier.

What is great --- the trach remains closed.  I'll see what the doc will say at the Monday appointment.

Making only one human in-person appointment helps the energy and then phone calls are less strenuous.

One volunteer item was to post two shows for the public - felt good.

I used the tips I learned from friend Dana to make hot dogs and placed on my mashed califlower - very yummy.

To end the day --- kitchen was cleaned and I washed the kitchen floor, it looked great and I feel better.

Another day to full healing.

First Full Day Home

First full day home - Horray.

Being home means my healing has allowed me to return to the home front. It hit me that my fight against this rare and illusive sarcoma cancer has to begin also.  Sleep not was comfy as in the hospital bed.  That one cradled me with all sorts of pillows and massage options.

Day one was attempting to do things - sometimes the effort of three times to so something so simple like pouring a portion of apple sauce, forgot the dish, spoon, putting jar back in fridge.  I just crack me up.

An almost three hour meeting with the visiting nurse.  Nice guy, I get squeamish doing medical things.  though the dressing on my thigh is not doing well.  I'll call them today to find out how not to have the gauze stick so I continues to heal.

Lots of phone calls and messages on my FB page Patty's Journey from friends, family, neighbors.  There are so many requests to help me out, so fortunate for that.
