They moved my Dad into a regular hospital room and out of ICU this morning. The room has a great view of a pond and a huge stand of pine trees across the street. There are snowy egrets, great blue herons, white egrets and snapping turtles. My Dad is still going strong. This morning he used the bathroom unassisted, strolled around the 4th floor twice, sat up in a recliner, watched a Dixie Chicks Youtube video (Goodbye Earl, by request) and is tucking into a BLT and Pepsi right now. The doctor and his nurses are extremely impressed with his recovery. He could have his choice of pain meds, but he has been told that he can’t drink wine while on pain meds.
So he requested Tylenol… and the wine menu.
Surprisingly, no wine menu. What kind of place IS this?
My Dad, Mom and siblings are in high spirits. I think the Universe must have been listening to my plan a few weeks ago, because this time around has gone off without a hitch. Thank you Universe, and thanks to all of you out there for the positive thoughts, good intentions and healing vibes. It’s been felt and we are in awe.
But, seriously. No wine menu? What kind of place IS this?
Hey Missy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the hourly updates it makes my work day much smoother knowing I am basically there! I too have never been so excited to hear the dad ate a roast beef sandwich!! I'll bring sparking grape juice and tell dad it wine. Maybe he won't be able to tell the difference?
C'ya tomorrow!

I wish we were there to bring the wine but we will have it in his honor.. lol. I am so happy to hear that he is doing so well, but with an awesome guy like him what could go wrong he has to be here and there and everywhere for all of us. Tell him that we love him an our thoughts are with all of you. Tell mom we knew that they would do it together not matter what. Love you all, Mike and Shelly
