2 Days In

Two days in and 2023 is already a blur! We had a really enjoyable family gathering yesterday at Wade, Melany, and Erin's. Nathan, Kathy, Graham, Joy, Esther, Elijah, Isaac, Joseph and I all headed to Summitville where Nathan and family conducted a church service. When we left that church, we headed back to the interstate, got on the intestate, and headed towards the Proctors. Shortly after we got there Abigail and Payton joined us a few minutes after we got there. We had a wonderful lunch...a fajita/taco bar with tons of fixings. Yum! Just enjoyed leftovers from yesterday before I came back home late this afternoon. This morning we went out for breakfast at Maple Street Biscuit Company. Another yum! Melany, Brooke, and I went shopping for a couple of outfits for Brooke (Christmas present from Wade and Melany). Then we went back to Melany's and regrouped before heading to see Woody. Melany, Alex,Brooke, and I went to see him. I took him a few things that he had asked for. We had a very nice visit. He is really doing fairly well...except for...being sooooooo weak.

Here's his most up-to-date photo snapped this afternoon. He had dialysis this morning and was finished when we got there. He called just before we left to go see him to tell us that he was through with dialysis. It was good for Goosey to see Alex and Brooke. Erin had planned to go but wasn't feeling well today due to her diabetes. By the time we got back she was feeling better and when I left she was feeling well enough to play a game with her parents and Alex and Brooke. Nathan picked me up fourish and I am now home. Enjoyed the time with family, but will admit to being very glad to be back in my own home! I will also admit to being very tired. My recliner feels very comfy. I'm hoping to be able to stitch for a while tonight..just one more ornament to finish stitching, but still many to completely finish! Tomorrow is another day...as Scarlett would say! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! I will add that Woody is still very weak...great difficulty getting his legs up under him to be able to transfer to a chair...just think...he was only gotten up a very few times over the almost three weeks he was in the hospital! He is still VERY underweight...and the food isn't very appealing to him. He is also having trouble sleeping. He called me a little while ago to report a very bad thinderstorm that had passed over them...he said it had passed, but that it had taken out his TV...but he has his computer again, thanks to Payton...so that will have to entertain him till his cable TV is back on! He has a very positive attitude about his rehab place and all the care givers who are working with him...a definite plus! Now...if he just felt that positive about the food!!!
