I'm watching the Saturday Night Live Christmas Special, as I must every year. Such classics! Looking forward to Shweatty Balls.
I'm looking at the sun. I haven't seen it for a month. It looks different... probably because I don't remember it.
Well, the cake is out of the oven and cooling. Tomorrow I will frost it. I was going to make the cheesecake today also. But I am still trying to learn to not be so dang stubborn. I stopped and will do it tomorrow. I even turned off the light in the kitchen so I wouldn't be tempted to go out there and do just one more thing. And then another. I am done for the night.
Once there is no pain and you can walk around like you usually do, you will begin to get antsy. I say two and a half weeks and you will use the excuse of needing something at the store and swing by work while you are out. I was supposed to wait six to eight weeks after my open heart surgery. Four weeks was all I could stand. I went back to work.
Just don't forget that "three o'clock wall" that all surgical patients face. As a nurse you know it is very real. Just ask SimonBaker. She had a hard time getting past that. I personally think it is a residual effect of the anesthesia.
Thank you all! I do hope all of you are doing better than I am. Luckily, classes are over so I don't have to sit there.
Right now we're watching the original Addam's family episodes. These are so funny! It hurts to laugh, but these are so very good for me now.
With love,

I love your way of looking at things! I'm pretty much a find-the-funny-side-person most of the time. MOST of the time! Then, as Snoopy sang in the musical "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" "I feel every now and then that I have to bite someone!" I hope you feel better soon, Cat. And as far as us figuring these are your medicines talking? Nah, you've been this way all along! And we wouldn't have it any other way.I'm sure some may be offended at this, and I apologize if anyone is. It was just very funny as I was being taken to the emergency room after being run over by my new boyfriend.
It's our way of making Carl understand this wasn't his fault......
News flash Addie: You don't have to be recovering from surgery to want that 3:00PM nap. Especially if you have a cat laying on you.The "three o'clock wall" is when most post surgical patients (regardless of what type of surgery) become extremely tired and in need of a nap. It strikes almost every patient of surgery...

Have a great time.DH and I are driving out to South Hill, VA, about two hours west of us, so I can have a pre-Christmas lunch with my mom, 2 aunts and cousin. Almost there!
