Rocket Dog Molly

December 4, 2006

Hey everyone! We arrived home on Saturday, December 2 at approximately 2:00 pm. I was actually discharged from the hospital on Friday afternoon, but given the little ice storm that descended upon St. Louis, we were very grateful that we had another night’s reservation at the motel which we fully took advantage of. I have been wanting to update my blog for several days but have had a hard time finding a sustained level of energy to get through showering, medicine regiment, phone calls and just plain staying awake so I apologize for not writing sooner. Am doing pretty well, although I still find myself suddenly falling asleep without little advance warning at times. Also still feel like I am walking like a primate somewhat. Would rather walk like a camel, or an Egyptian or something other than a chimp. Want to say thank you to all for the messages, thoughts and prayers; the absolutely lovely flowers (thank you Cardiac Diagnostics peoples!); my get better bear – balloon – and sunflowers (thank you and I miss all of you, my adopted platypii); Jane and Wendy – you are so very thoughtful and we appreciate it more than you can know; Diana – for your endless energy, your encyclopedia of been-there done-this knowledge (I am sorry you had to learn about all of this first) and the wonderful birthday messages for the girls; Sr Mara for your much needed and appreciated visit; Michele and Lin for your kind hearts and for the food; Jack and Julie for enabling us to stay connected and help with the girls, Tim and Kathy for your help with the girls and the motel arrangements; my “sisters”, my family, my husband and lovely daughters! Oh heavens – I knew it would be impossible to list everyone and everything that you all have done. I keep waiting for someone to start playing the music like the academy awards when you have too many thank you’s! Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that the support is amazingly strengthening. Rube and the girls brought home a Christmas tree yesterday, I had most of the house decorations up before we left last week so it all feels good. Things seem right, not scary. We will have the rest of the information we need to go forward when we go this Friday for my follow-up appointment. In the meantime, am expecting a visit from parents and my son and grandson this week. Am looking so forward to seeing them – have only seen my grandson Cole once since he was born. It is way past due. I promise I will check in more often as my energy improves – of course I expect there will be times in the near future when I will backslide a little but you can’t keep a good dog down too long can you? Or a platypus?!

Love,
Lisa
