walking & water


The Potomac was wild when I drove across it this morning! Guess we're in great shape for a growing season with all the rains we've had. 


My dad continues to improve~all needles and tubes are out and he's beginning to slowly zip around the 3NE wing.  After finding fermented peaches on his dinner plate, I popped down to the cafe to see if there were better options. He was very happy to have a mango bar~I imagine that once he's out of hospital, he will find a very willing mango ice cream accomplice in his eldest granddaughter. (She has some food allergies, so mango sorbet is her go-to summer treat.)


Hopefully the patient gets sprung tomorrow~I don't know how anyone can heal in a hospital. All those beepings and buzzings and crashing of myriad carts and the endless poking/prodding doesn't seem conducive to recuperation.

  1. Nope, you cannot sleep. Ever. Getting out asap - before the staph sets in - is the best bet.

    1. He's on his way to my sister's. I'm sure he'll appreciate good food and quieter (with an infant, 3, and 5 yo inhouse,it won't be truly quiet) sleeping environment.

  2. Glad your dad has a cardiology surgeon you trust. He'll give the correct instructions and follow-up for home recuperation.

    1. Never met the surgeon, but it seems he did a good job!
