Visitors, food and something completely unexpected

The past few days have been busy. Friday was the check up. Saturday, my sister Linda drove out to Sequim to get Mom and bring her into town to see me. Mom looked very relieved to see me sitting up, talking, and doing well. Sunday was a flurry of hugs and smiles at St Mark's. It was good to be out and about, although a bit tiring too. Yesterday, I had a couple of visitors. It wasn't much of a day for a walk which was unfortunate! My sweet aunt in Victoria also called yesterday.

Sunday evening, food started arriving - yummy soup and rolls, delicious cookies, and then yesterday amazing Chili Colorado along with tortillas and salad (Thank you Nan!).

Yesterday, I was completely caught off guard and gobsmacked. Mr R brought the mail in. Among the usual catalogs and beggy letters was an envelope with no name or address or stamp. Obviously, it had been placed in the mail box by someone other than the post person. I opened it and found a very sweet get well card.... from Gary, the yard waste guy. Yes, the kind man who helped Mr R and I the day I came home, left me a get well card. As I said, I was gobsmacked. How incredibly thoughtful!

PS- by now some of you will have seen my Facebook post. I think I'm just retaining more fluid than I should. Hopefully, this will be quickly and easily resolved. There are always bumps on the road of healing. My heart is probably still a irritated because of the surgery. I'll keep you all posted.
