Well, I know I
haven't posted in a few days. Life has been busy. I got to
take dad home from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon. I
insisted that I be the one. I'm selfish that way. I dropped
them off, then headed to WalMart for medication. I won't go to
that memory right now. Let's just say that I came home with 4 out
of 5 perscriptions, and nobody was hurt. By the next day, the
fifth was purchased. 'Nough said.
Dad looks awesome. I went by to visit this morning, and nobody
was in the house. I started to get worried, then headed out to
the pasture. Sure enough, there they were...walking toward
me. Sheesh, Dad, could you wait more than 1 1/2 days before
trekking out to the point?
Dad is laughing a real laugh. Not that light, shallow, easy laugh
that he had in the hospital. He actually LAUGHS when something is
funny. That helped me a lot. That little chuckle wasn't
Dad...it was pain.
The neighbors are awesome, the friends are awesome, and Dad is
awesome. Everything is perfect. You have no idea how good
it feels to know how good HE feels. His chest was split, his
heart was stopped, his chest filled with fluid...all one week
ago. Today, he's walking the pasture, moving the cows from one
pen to the other. Rock ON medical science.
Thanks for the well-wishes and prayers and thoughts and comments.
It means the world to me. This is the reason I keep the AOL
account!

Glad to hear you are doing better.
So glad your Dad is recuperating so quickly. Medical Science is amazing isn't it? Now you can rest up and enjoy yourself! June
This is the reason I keep AOL too. I couldn't stand the thought of life without you and your family in it. Loved the part where "nobody was hurt". LOL You sound like my daughter so I completely understand. Faye
What a beautiful entry....from the good news about Dad's recovery, to the happiness in your "voice". God bless you guys! ((((HUGS))))
I saw some pics of your Dad over at your Mom's journal... He sure doesn't LOOK like someone who just had major surgery. He looks real good, and it's obvious he's being taken care of real well.
Great news! Glad he's doing so well.
