A quick update to let you know that the post operative recuperation continues. I went to Mom's yesterday and Dad did acquiesce and accept that golf date. He came back in with a bit of a rosy tint from the sun and his hair slightly tousled from the wind but a big smile on his face. I wonder if he is 'feeling it' today... he hasn't golfed since the really cold weather began. We girls visited, I worked on their laptop a bit as it decided it still wanted to connect to the wi-fi in Cleveland instead of Memphis and just wasn't cooperating. Mom napped. She and dad had already made a stroll to the next door neighbors driveway and back before I arrived. This is approximately the same distance as the loop she was doing on the hospital floor. Still working on the oxygen saturation and fluid in her chest and a nagging problem with her incision but all in all, doing quite well. Dad has made a trip to the pharmacy this morning to pick up all of Mom's new meds. I have learned a lot more about this medicare "donut hole" than I ever wanted to know...It has really made Jim and I reconsider our retirement plans. Who knows what will going on when he retires in a few years. (We plan on retiring very, very young ☺) This is my official lunch break from some gardening today, so I am going back out into the sunshine to dig in some dirt. I am not sure which dirt, any will do.
