What a beautiful Sunday morning.
I did make it home, on Friday, and, the last two days have been sporadic, to say the least......lots of goods, some bads, but, overall, there is, truly, "no place like home.".
I guess I am going through the time frame where your mind is telling your body,....."OK, sport, looks like your not going to die, so, we need to get everybody back on board, and, kick this thing back into gear!".
Funny thing is that this is when you realize your age, the limitiations of what your body can do, and, most of all, that, all of us, have allowed our bodies to, pretty much, do what it wants to do,.......it ain't easy to wake it back up.
My good friend, Dr. Bruce Kowalski, has agreed to continue my medical care, later this week, and, this will include a "cardiac rehabilitiation tract", which should help......won't be easy, but, it will bring me back.
Lawson says I am the most deterimined, and, frustrating of people. I had told him, weeks ago, that one of my goals, for 2009, was to lose weight and get in better shape. He will tell you that this is probably the way I chose to do it! Not the right way, but, MY WAY!
I still feel weak, but, I am getting stronger. Everyday has increased my appetite, and foods are finally starting to taste good again.
Thanks for all of your support. I feel like I am on the road to recovery after a rough three weeks.
This will be a Christmas I will never forget.
The first thought, I guess, is that it was full of sadness, very few presents, and not much friviolity.
The end thought is that it will be remembered as the best.
Friendships remembered and renewed. Patients reaching out to ask what they can do for me. My staff pulling together and saying "you just get better" People giving me the space to recover and heal, all the time letting me know how much they love me. The remembrance, for the zillionth time, of just how special my family is to me.
Now, that's what Christmas is, and I am blessed!!
Talk to you soon
