Diane, I know when Bill spent the night with me, after my surgery, I was much more comfortable with him being there.  I know Larry will feel the same way with you being there.  Bill was just talking to you and he said Larry had a 6 bypass surgery.  Wow, it's a good thing he went when he did, or else it may not have been a happy ending.
Today was much better than yesterday.  I can walk on my own, very softly, and slowly, but with much less pain.  I am sure tomorrow will be even better.  I have a P.T. appointment again tomorrow and maybe she can help even more.  I really didn't do a lot today, just basically what I could, without pushing the pain button too much.  Reese has a real bad cough and the teacher doesn't want him there, because his cough is disturbing the class.  Janene had to go to work so he spent some time with me.  I gave him some cough drops and they seemed to help him a little. He has done this before, thank goodness it doesn't happen very often.  3rd day on my new eating plan.  It is going very well, in the fact that, I am eating more veggies and those little green things are much lower in calories than Choc......darn.  I eat about every two hrs. and pretty much staying full.
Don't work too hard today.


OFF BASE
After finishing his meal, my grandfather, a retired Marine captain, asked the waitress for the 15 percent discount the restaurant offered veterans.  "Do you need to see my military ID?" he asked.  "That's all right," she said.  "I know you were in the military.  I can tell by your T-shirt."  Grandpa's shirt read "Welcome to Gettysburg National Military Park."


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I Believe....
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
