Today was a good day

Goal: wash face, brush teeth, stay off leg, and blog



Today was a good day. When I went to bed last night, I had no expectations for today. Due to the fact I tossed and turned most of the night, I figured today would be full of cat naps…smile…thankfully, I was wrong.


I received a wake up call from one I will call, “my-blast-from-the-past.” He found me on facebook several months ago, and although I was intially uncertain about the connection, his friendship has been very comforting. I haven’t seen him in weeks, so I was surprised when I received his call. Since he wanted to do a “drop-by,” and was basically around the corner when he rang, I had time to throw on a slip dress (clossest thing to my bed), my leg brace, and hobble to the bathroom; before I was finished, the doorbell rang. While he was here, my nurse came and this was all before 9:30 A.M.


The remainder of the visit was cool, but I was happy to retire to my bedroom with a slice of that Red Velvet cake my mom surprised me with yesterday. MMMMMMM………..GooD! Eating cake and watching the movie 2012 took up the next few hours. While watching the movie, I received a “check-up call” from the man who held my heart so many years ago. (This man can still bring a smile to my heart.)


After chatting with him, one of my best girlfriends called to tell me she was brining me some of her chicken gumbo – oh la la! She was right on time! Although she couldn’t stay for a visit, she warmed some gumbo for me and I had her take some cake. I wanted to share the love. *wink*


I have now finished eating, have taken my night-time meds, and have retired back into the bedroom. I am happy to report that my pain of yesterday has subsided. I think the Vicodin/Ibuprofin combo is working. Yay! I am feeling a little drained but thankful that the day took care of me. Like I said intially, “Today was a good day.”
