Slow Goin'

I usually have to work until 8 on Tuesday nights, but I was miraculously set free last night at five!!! You've never seen such celebration in an office as three women who were just given three free hours!!! Screaming, hugging...dare I say a little bit of fancy footwork too????
Anyway, so with my free time, I was able to go visit Dad. He WAS out of the gown - and into the most interesting combo of a plaid button down shirt and different plaid pajama pants. Because he's sick, I didn't call in the What Not to Wear crew. However, if upon full recovery, I see this particular combo again - he and I might have to have a little chat.
He had kind of a rough day yesterday. I'll spare you the details (I was not spared) - but long story short, he had a blood clot that caused quite a bit of pain. He made one extra trip to the doctor to have that issue resolved, and he said after that, he was feeling much better. Much, of course, is a relative term.
He was sitting up in the chair and eating eggs and pudding (not together, thankfully). Moving is hard, but he's giving it his best shot!!! He loved the pictures that I posted - so for those of you giving me a rough time about it - he knows and approves. And he was well enough to be able to assist Mom with directions about how to put wood in the fire. That right there told me that he was on the mend.
Please continue to pray for him as he deals with pain and catheters and all that fun stuff!!! (And pray for Mom - that she'll learn how to put wood on the fire!! JUST KIDDING, MOM!!!)
