Dear gentle readers! Happy last week of Advent. Prepare ye the Way of the Lord!!! Because doctors ask, "What day is it? What month is it?" We try to look at the calendar every day. If I forget to look then I don’t know what day it is. The neurologist actually told Chuck that Chuck forgot the date the last time he was in the office…. "yeah, yeah, yeah, OK so we’ll learn the date," I thought begrudgingly. Knowing the date as a retired person is important because it helps us get the garbage and recycling to the curb, and it helps get to doctor’s appointments. What else??? Oh well beauty and hair appointments. I’ve missed 2 since Chuck was in the hospital…
So…. it is Monday before Christmas!!! We’re on the exit ramp of Advent and going to slide in for a "Home Run" at Midnight on Friday night! Chuck and I will be driving to Big Pine Key on Thursday after rehab to take Aunt Trudy for a lunch in Key West on Friday and for Christmas dinner on Saturday. Charlie Paparelli’s visit has been stimulating and exciting. Charlie, Dave, and Chuck have walked every day. They are up to 2 miles. Chuck is much more his old self, but still needs naps for brain recovery. So if you come to visit… look for the note pasted to the doorbell and be ready for nap time after breakfast (or in the afternoon if we have a morning appointment) and a somewhat early evening as we’re in bed by 8:30pm. Chuck has stopped wandering in the night and sleeps through, "like a baby." Charlie gave us 5 years worth of the TV show 24 so I am all fired up when we finally get to bed. Chuck just sleeps with that tiny purr that I still thank God for. . Thanks Charlie for interrupting my sleep!!!
We’re looking at buying a Bow Flex machine because Chuck is working very hard in PT and that will end one day. I hope hope we will continue to exercise after PT. The new (Craig’s list) Bow Flex will reside in the TV room, so be prepared for a "gymnasium look" when you look towards the lake! All right dear ones, have a wonderful week and stay warm (25 degrees in Palm Coast, Florida and freezing!) Miami is a balmy and sunny 65. Love and kisses, God bless you. Susie
