Hospital happenings...

Mom is doing splendid! She has been able to get herself to the bathroom and get washed up each morning since Thursday on her own! She is having relatively little pain (she says less than what she anticipated) and her knee is moving well. She had her post-operative dressing removed today and the surgeon stated that everything looked fine. Her blood pressure on the other hand, has stayed elevated and her medical doctor has started her on some blood pressure medications. We will pray that it decreases! She is mostly wiped out from the effort it takes to do simple things, but her energy will be back! Her surgery to replace the left knee is on Tuesday, so please pray that all goes well.
I took 1/2 the day on Saturday and the day today to meet my friend, Tim, in Jensen Beach! We stayed on Hutchinson Island, which I had heard wonderful things about. It is a beautiful area to relax and veg out! Good food too! We sampled some seafood at The New England Seafood Reasturant and Market and a great omelet this AM (nearly PM) at a little local hole in the wall! But yummy food! It was a nice to get away...we had attempted to go to the Art Show in Stuart, but it was SO crowded, we were unable to find parking, so we took advantage of the beautiful sunny day and drove with the Corvette's top down along the river and enjoyed the scenery and laughed! All I can say is that it is so soothing to fall asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore, we had our own natural white noise machine!
May you all have the opportunity to have a time to relax and rejuvenate!
