2015 Not Off to a Good Start


I think I said that 2015 had to be a better year than the last one.  Not true.  My husband was hospitalized at the end of January--most of his stay was in the ICU--so many tubes and IVs and blood tests..  He was transferred to a skilled nursing facility Wednesday, the 11th.  With physical and occupational therapy, we hope he'll gain strength and come home soon.  He has improved and is eating a bit (southern food is not his favorite).

Our children were with us--daughter returned to snowy Boston Wednesday, but our son is staying for a while.  They were such a tremendous help at the hospital; one of us was there around-the-clock (and we even had a few laughs).

Blog friends, I have been following your posts--but have had little time to make comments.  I'm waiting for normal to return.

  9. Thank you everyone for your good wishes. My husband came home two weeks ago; I take him to physical therapy twice a week. Normal has not yet returned but our dog Willie is happy that he and his dad can sit together on the front porch again.

  11. HI Hallie
    Embracing all of your family with support and comforting thoughts. So glad you have your dear one home now and were able to have your children there for a while. May spring bring all of you new life and returning normalcy.
    Make some time for yourself to rest, create, meditate-whatever it takes for you to stay strong and well.
    Sincerely
    Steven

  13. Thank you, Rhonda. Slowly--very slowly. I've managed to get out to the workshop a few times, did some cleaning (clearing) and framed a few pieces.
