Welcome

Here's to the experience of recovering from surgery. I'll keep you all informed of my progress and what I hope is an entertaining journey for all of us.

The Party's Over


It's time.  I am becoming so independent that I need to release my fine Nurse Glenn from his caretaking duties.  The sure sign was when I looked at the bathroom today and said "I need to clean this"  instead of "I wonder when Glenn's going to clean this?"  And then I did it!  I'm not saying this is the first household chore I've handled...I can get to the basement and I did all of the ironing this weekend.  But I did it with my knee on a chair and the feeling in my heart that I was doing a great favor for Glenn.  While I ironed, I dreamed about what my martyr crown would look like.  (I envisioned a look similiar to the Burger King crown, with large rubies and emeralds and some silvery sparklers.  however, I would settle for this. )  Somehow, when I showed Glenn everything that I ironed, I didn't get the feeling that he thought I deserved a crown...I think I heard something under his breath like "about time!" 

I do feel like a queen today however.  I'm very busy, but not doing anything productive, because I'm totally  engrossed in my iTouch...my birthday present from my wonderful daughters and Glenn.  It's amazing that they got me this--and this little thing is amazing too.  It may be the greatest time waster ever (not counting Facebook!)  I've spent hours trying to figure out what it does, and I haven't yet played ONE song!  If I weren't already, I'd have to retire to have time to devote to this!
