Just the quickest of notes to update ...... busier than a one-armed paper hanger today! Ed is feeling really good after a solid night's slumber - no hiccups! It was wonderful to know he was getting healing and restful sleep - just what he needed. I've given him a "project list" for today that included movie watching, napping and contemplating his navel. I've been in the office except for running home to disconnect his TPN and give him his IV antibiotics, so I call and check on him frequently. The morning went smoothly with no violations of acitivity level, but I called a few minutes ago and he was moving outdoor furniture and hosing down the patios!!!! Luckily his Mom is on her way over to visit - that'll put the kabosh on his over doing...... I'm considering hiring her on a regular basis to "Ed-sit" so I can work and not worry about leaving him to his own devices!!! If you see a posting on Craig's List for the job, know it's because it's taking more than one of us to hold him down and convince him of the value in "reasonable" goals and appropriate self-care. Definately a full time job.....and then some. Any volunteers???? I knew I should have added "learn a foreign language" to the project list......that might have kept him busy a little longer....... :)
Dashing home for more IV antibiotics. After we get the blood test results tomorrow early afternoon I'll let you all know his status, unless noteworthy or humerous topics come up in the meantime. I welcome all suggestions for keeping Ed quietly busy for the next week or so ........
Liz, you can have my old ball and chain (I got out of it when I got divorced!), maybe that will slow him down! Seriously, good to hear he is up and active, that only means he's feeling good. Keep up the great nursin'!
ReplyDeleteLove you guys, TC
Ed,
ReplyDeleteSounds like your feeling much better. It's hard to relax when you are feeling good. I've had a couple of surgeries this year. I feel good today and lifted a case of water, I still felt sore where had my surgery which was Feb. 14. So I'm leaving most work to others for now. I'm glad to hear your feeling good.
Have a good weekend!

Glad to hear you're feeling so good! Take it easy and better listen to Nurse Liz(don't make her mad...I've seen it before and it's not pretty). Enjoy the beautiful weather & we're praying for more good news!
