oops, missed Friday, December 2

Fell asleep watching tv last night and didn't get to the blog.  Sorry!
Chris had a visit from the home health aide who helped him shower and get ready for his doctor appointment.  Norma, as usual fixed him a breakfast of his choosing...omelette today.  Certainly not a mother-in-law to complain about, not that he ever does.  Lisa came to visit today and brought a beautiful candy wreath from Becky.  Thank you Becky; and Lisa, your visits are always a bright spot in his day.  Went to neurosurgery and had the train track staples removed.  Dr. Tashjian was very apologetic about the way the closure was done and the number of staples put in Chris's head by the resident.  I will post the picture on the front page of the blog.  Dr. T said he was happy to see how good Chris looked compared to how he looked the last day in the hospital.  It is true, he does look tons better.  I'm sure it's the TLC he gets at home. :-)
Jim and Marie brought dinner and a fun evening of fellowship.  The tri tip was delicious as were the potatoes, beans and salad.  Oh and let's not forget the cheesecake and the wine.  Jim, Chris, Arlo and Greg made tentative plans to play golf on Tuesday.  Wouldn't that be fabulous?  Stay tuned.
Chris's sister and brother-in-law were going to head down for a visit yesterday morning but Ted woke up with a backache.  Went to the ER and turns out he had a kidney stone which he passed.  They loaded him up on Morphine, Patty loaded him into the car and they drove down last night.  We expect to be seeing them anytime this morning now as they decided to stay in an area hotel.
Looking forward to a lovely but windy Saturday.  Check back this evening for events of the day.  :-)
With much love, CJSRJ
