Does Lindsey ever do anything without McCain?
hi everyone
Thank you for the Dose, snugs.
Update on dad, some good and some well not exactly bad but distressing for him.
He is making great progress with the elbow and has almost full movement back which is quite incredible less than a week after surgery. He can hold a cup with hand and touch his nose and reach over his tray to pick something up from the far side of the tray. The physio is really pleased and says that he is basically there with the elbow and just needs to keep up the exercises they have given him.
On the hip because they are still doing investigations re the stomach they have not had him actually walking but have given him exercises to strengthen it whilst in bed. Again the physio is more than pleased and it is obvious that dad has done the exercises as he can left the leg up and down freely.
He has had another 2 enemas today and I believe tomorrow is due to have another abdominal Xray.
Basically I get the impression they want the stomach to go down before doing any extensive physio probably due to the fact that they do not want the extra weight of the swollen stomach to affect the replacement hip by putting to much pressure on it.
All things considered he is in good spirits and is so grateful of all of your prayers and cards - God Bless you all
Hi there ... how are you and Dad today?
Hi ya
My pleasure
I must have looked at the date 1000 times yesterday, and yet I forgot all about her birthday. My excuse? Eldest son got married yesterday in CA and my mind was focused on that waiting to hear from him. Today is his birthday.
HAPPY, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!
Despite promises of an engineer no one arrived today the company running the service did get a representative to beside apologising for no engineer who apparently has been held up at the other hospital in the trust. They have again promised action tomorrow along with a free day’s TV credit.
I must apologise as well I need to catch up on dose birthday greeting I am sure I have many belated ones to do
Nonsense, dear girl. You’re my hero! I couldn’t not function even half as well were I in your circumstances.
Continued prayers for you and your dad -— the updates are sounding better all the time.
You didn’t get to go to the wedding? :>(
Thanks for the Dose, snugs. Great close ups of our President, First Lady and SoS Rice!!!
So sorry I’m late with the Happy Birthday!!!
Private affair -— just the two of them -— second marriages for both.
Understandable, but no cake!??
Congratulations!
Wow...great progress for your dad and the elbow. Sounds like he will do well with the hip once the nasty stomach business gets taken care of. You must be exhausted.
Congratulations on your toaster!!!
I’ll be back later -— I sat in this computer chair way too many hours yesterday and I’m paying the price today.
Congrats on your new DIL!
