We needed a revolving door yesterday for all the visitors we had in to see Jim. First was the nurse who said all is well with Jim. Then came Jim's physical therapist who had to lay into Jim for "pivoting" when turning while walking (could cause a dislocation of his new hip). Then came his OT. Basically she came to consult with Jim and talk about things he can do to assist in showering and dressing. She has "discharged" him and so that's one less person we have to deal with. The PT and nurse will continue through next week as "in home" and after being discharged he can start "out patient" PT. YAY! I can't WAIT for Jim to A) be able to walk without a walker and B) be able to drive! So exciting!
Today will be a pretty easy day. We'll head to West Chester hospital for Jim's EKG (make sure all is well with his heart prior to starting back on his cancer meds) and then go to lunch. I promised Jim a visit to Flip Daddy's...I'm sure he's very antsy just sitting around the house with not much to do.
Last night I made "Traditional Baked Ziti" from Home Chef. It was DELICIOUS. I will certainly make that again on my own. Interestingly, it's a veggie meal but I didn't realize that at first because the delivery this week sent me an extra pound of ground pork. So, instead of a veggie ziti, I added the pork. It was amazing!
I can't believe it's the Friday of my Spring Break and that I have to go back to school on Monday. And I can't believe I haven't done shit for work. I had grandiose plans of finishing the novel I'm set to start when we get back to school but alas, I made a quilt instead. I'm pretty proud of that, however. I mean a whole quilt in 4 days! That's gotta be a record. I'll take a pic and post when I'm done (which should be today).
My padded bike shorts came yesterday and I'm psyched! These damn things better work cause my crotch can't take much more abuse! I'm hoping to test them out soon but since it's going to rain all day I'll have to put that on hold. I may go power riding on Sunday so maybe I'll give them a try then. BTW - the pic at left is obviously inside out...I won't look like a baboon. However, I may look like I've got a set of balls with how bulky these shorts are. Well worth it though.
Okay - time to get some cereal and a shower. Happy Friday!
