Started out tough, ending nicely

When I woke up at 2am sick to my stomach, not able to sleep, I was not happy. I moved to a guest room, took a magic pill and by 4 I was back to sleep (it was probably the boring book, not the pill that helped) till 830. Not to be too graphic, but after I got "sick" my fever broke and that helped. I was kind of lazy till about noon (since I really don't do much of anything now I am not really sure "kind of lazy" means in my world anymore). Michael and Erin were here for a few hours, and it was great seeing them. Michael confirmed my wounds (including prior port site ) were healing well and that Dr. Bob was doing the superb job we all knew he was. He also confirmed what we were doing with my skin tears was fine and gave us a suggestion or two on other things we could do. We went through a list of questions I have for the surgeon next week just to make sure we were covering all bases. And speaking of bases, we got away from all the medical stuff and watched the Braves beat the Mets too. Erin entertained us with cheerleading routines and a history lesson (she loves British history, especially Charles the First - go figure). And to top it off, Yonnie showed up surprisingly with a delicious dinner. Good thing she brought plenty because Michael and Erin chowed down for lunch. I was not sure what Bob and I were doing about dinner ye,t so her timing was perfect.

I have more energy today, as you would expect with 2 pints of blood. Just hope I can make it through next week needing no more. Then I think I am home free for a while. So now I just watch HGTV and see what happens next for me.
