Saturday morning, I woke up, finally a little bit relaxed from yesterday's big news
I slept like a champ :)
I hung out with Rex and my parents... I called Chris and he sounds so much better...
I got ready, and my brother went to the hospital to see Chris...
I stopped at the new Walmart on the way to the hospital and got Chris some new boxers (Superman and Marvel heros) and my Keith Urban DVD... its exclusive to Walmart, otherwise i wouldnt rush there (it was a madhouse)
Chris looked a lot better when I got to the hospital... but he was paying for yesterday's dinner choice... Friday was his first day to eat whole food and he got a cheeseburger against my suggestion... his taste buds didnt like anything but his tummy was mad about the quick jump to beef and cheese... Melissa is his nurse on Saturday... we like her... very sweet.. and a good nurse... Nancy was there too, she came in to see Chris a few times...
My parents came to visit.. my brother left... My parents stayed until it was time to go to mass.. they checked out the local parish down the street.. Saint Peters.. old 160 yr old church...
I made Chris do his physical therapy exercises in bed... and he was bummed that he was needing a shower and stuff... so I got a bucket of soapy water and gave him a pedicure and washed him up from knees down.. then i moisturized... it was fun... and chris' feet look softer and prettier now
So, Saturday, he ordered potatos and starches for dinner and in the evening, he walked to the bathroom with assistance from the tech and nurse... for not walking in almost 2 weeks, he was doing pretty good.. Physical therapy had him walk a few days prior.. and he has been doing leg exercises in bed... the PT gave him homework for over the weekend
I stayed at the hospital Saturday night...
Chris got a 2nd wind Saturday night after a brief nap... so it was like 10pm and he was wide awake so we watched some TV
Sunday morning I went home... well, it was late morning... Before I went home, Chris got his daily visit from Dr Harrison... Today, he was a riot, as usual, but a lil more crazy today
He walked in and was belting out German exclamations for a good 3-4 minutes...
Then he said "did you get any of that?" Chris said no.. so the Doc went on to re-enact it in English... he basically went on about nonsense and why he is here and how the goldfish (Peppridge Farm, that Chris was eating) are not really fish.... then he went to check that he still had a tongue and a heart... he said Chris can go home as soon as he is walking on his own and his wound is more healed... so maybe Wednesday?!?!?! woohoo
talk about motivation to get out of bed with PT and without PT
At home, I hung out with Rex and took a shower and a nap
Then, my brother went to the hospital and I got there a little later
Look how good he looks today...
Watched the Giants cream the Ravens... and let me tell you... Chris was all washed up.. the tech washed him up (these women seeing my Chris nude... grrr.. just kidding)
He was in long sweat pants and a button down shirt.. he looked like a new man.. while i was home, he walked to the bathroom and to the window and was now in a chair - bullshitting with my brother
Now, they wanted to order Paulie's for dinner...
So we did...
And then my brother went home...
Chris and I are getting ready for the Dallas Redskins game.. GO DALLAS
Tonight, i will sleep home... back to work tomorrow :(
but Chris will be home soon.. woohoo
Chris took another walk tonight to the bathroom with the nurse.. he is lookin much stronger...
Yay!!
Chris is excited.. I am excited... visitors at home instead of the hospital.. good stuff
Aunt Ro called today and Chris talked to Lew... he isnt feeling well.... Get better Lew
Jeanie got Liv's stomach bug over the weekend... but is finally feeling better today
Thats all for now folks... Until tomorrow...
