We finally have my surgery date: May 17. I guess I have a lot of cleaning and organizing to do before anyone comes to help us around the house!! My friends Bronwen, Shelley and Joanne did a lot of cleaning out while we were in Portland with Joey. After taking a look at our pantry and all of the food they took out, I was on a mission to "get organized." They even found a package of food dated 1997!! Anyone want me to cook dinner for them?? Caleb keeps going to the basement where they stored the "bad stuff" and sneaking it back upstairs to eat it. He feels starving to death will a lot more painful than eating what they took away! (Just kidding Bronwen!!) Joey and I are really trying to change our eating habits to enhance our immune systems. I have stepped outside of the box more than once these past few weeks and tried things I've never thought would pass through these lips. And the funny thing is...it was really good!! Joey is still real cautious as to what he eats right now, so he hasn't experienced some of the things I have yet. You just wait until he gets better. He won't know what has hit 'em!!
Joey is eating a lot better now and sleeping though the night. He is also very vigallant with his daily walks. He hardly even watches TV...imagine that!! Many phone calls have come through from old friends and you can see how it brightens his day! He writes, reads and sits on the screened porch watching the ducks, loons and otters in the cove. He's starting to talk to them and give them names, so I think he is getting ready to see more visitors!!
Here is to friends and family and hopefully a beautiful summer on the lake!
God Bless and {{hugs}} to all!!
