Sitting here inside today and enjoying the air conditioner, as it is in the nineties. We had a week of severe storms and lots of rain. North of us got six inches of rain that fell on Tuesday. Where is my boat and oars? It is nice to see the sunshine and to sit and relax for a few minutes. This is the wettest and greenest summer in years. My garden has exploded with fresh vegetables. I was picking grape tomatoes off the vine and popping them in my mouth. They are so good.
My dad is doing well after a long week of recovery in the ICU. He finally has made it to the step down unit and I am finally starting to see his ornery personality coming back. He said he call tell his heart is working good. His shortness of breathe has subsided with activity. The doctors are working on getting his red blood counts regulated and we are beginning to see a discharge date in the next couple of days. I will be glad when he is able to return home, as it has been a long week traveling back and forth to the hospital. Although I am very happy he is doing well and seeing him smile has been worth all the disruption in our lives. The last six months of watching him struggle to do even the simplest of activities was heartbreaking. I hope now his dream of living into his nineties comes true. My dad informed he told his nurses he wasn't old and they believed him as they said they were quite impressed how well he has recovered. He has his own cheering squad at the hospital. Way to go dad. I love you!
The mind is a powerful thing and our body believes what the mind thinks. My dad believed in his surgeons and other doctors. They have taken good care of him. We are very grateful to them. God bless them!
Life is beautiful !!
