2 steps forward

A few steps forward and a half a step back. That's the way of this kind of procedure I'm told. The forward motion is consistent but an occasional minor setback is inevitable. Today a higher blood pressure than normal. Walk halted. Meds changed. Back to bed with you Mrs. Noll. And right before she turned off the phone for an afternoon nap I snuck in a little chat. So, lucky me.

Spirits still sound good. Ave has been told to take a few days hiatus when Thad arrives this afternoon. Bernagrace awaits her baby which apparently has dropped nice and low. The sun is out up there in Jersey and signs of spring are sneaking in.

Here in Texas our 2nd grader is off to the rodeo for a class trip. Our kindergartener has mastered the skipping of one bar on the monkey bars. Our 5th grader has a sewing project due tomorrow and our wee 2.5 year old has perfected his use of the word NO! while he runs in the opposite direction.

Love to all,
Bern

  1. Well I'm finally catching up with my email and reading this blog. I've been busy with my visiting grandsons. A 4 year old and 2 year old keep me hopping, but I love it.
    Glad to hear you are back in rehab Liz. Don't give them any trouble now, just do what they tell you (when someone is looking).
    It's great fun connecting with my "cousins."
    Love, Cecelia Grasser

  2. Hi Liz - you were in my thoughts a few weeks ago - wanted to stop in for tea - then remembered you were still in Fla. What a surprise to hear of your reason for early return to NJ. I'll still stop for tea in the near future. Peace, love, & speedy recovery Mary Ford

  4. Haven't seen the blog in about a week so I had no idea of all the back and forth from the hospital to rehab and vice versa. Hope all will be well soon and your back walking on Franklin Road. Just a note, my son Rob had a heart attack a few weeks back - had a stent put in and is doing very well now. It was a bit scary but, I'm sure he will be ok. You are in our prayers and thoughts.
