To think I had to fight every inch of the way to get him seen by an urologist. Now I will fight to get him the therapy he needs to stand and walk on his two feet. Not sure of a complete reconstruction of the knees. Dementia does not go away and only gets worse, but with new meds coming down the pike you never say never.

I am now home for the rest of the evening. Hubby slept most of the time I was there and as I left he drank some lemonade and was thinking about the tomato soup with veggies. The dinner plate he passed which was a scoop of tuna with angel hair. The head nurse will see that he eats something solid. He will also have a nice rub down and will be tucked into bed with clean sheets and pillow cases. They weren’t expecting him to return, but things went well and now you know the rest of the story.. There is no pain. He is bleeding, but it seems to be clotting now. Me, I am very tired probably more from stress than anything else. I will be getting into bed early and hope to make the doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning. The head nurse has told me not to rush there since the person taking him to the appointment will remain with him. I will make the final decision in the morning. It was extremely cold in the rehab. I had to use the new sherpa blanket to get warm. Hubby was fine. I guess my winter days are over for now. Enjoy the shopping this week. I am done. Have to admit that the tvs looked interesting. But not read the info, I will wait until next year when I know more.

It’s cool on the Gulf Coast. A full moon was present this evening and it followed me home. I surmise this is the Beaver moon. Have a nice walk with Poppy. Glad he is happy to see you. He must have missed you big time. Sorry the drive home took forever because of road conditions. Not an easy feat this time of year. Now you know why I wait until I have a two week period of clear skies and gentle breezes. It’s really bad when drivers do not know how to circumvent the roads/highways.

Sheba, Welcome back! Glad you had a great time and made it home safely.
I remember how bad traffic was when we used to drive to AZ. The worst on the CA side at PS. Plus a major holiday and all.
What would we do without our awesome sons! Glad your son was able to do the Critter Patrol.
The thread is looking wonderful, can tell you are back.

Xango, Hope you are on the mend and feeling better. Your husband cooking under your direction sounds so adorable and loving.

Lovely picture and nice pop of blue.

Oodie, So happy for you and your husband that surgery went smoothly. Glad he is doing so well and hopefully he can get home for the New Year. Get some rest and thanks for the update.

Welcome home! Sounds like you may have skied home, lol!⛷ Happy you are back safe and had a great time. Cold in the ‘burgh, we had little snow pellets falling this morning.❄ Tomorrow is not supposed to get out of the 20’s but better the rest of the week.

Congrats on the win, I did think of your brother and his team. All I can say is oh, well.🤷‍♂️ Our guys won!

I wish I could see Poppy being velcro dog today.🐶💗 I always say one of my happiest moments is picking my babies up from the sitter. Lots of kisses and hugs.🥰🤗

Take it easy and wind down today. Hugs to you and Poppy.🎄🤗🎄

Charlie Brown Christmas/The True Meaning of Christmas (recited by Linus)

“I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn’t have picked this
little tree,” said Charlie Brown. “Everything I do turns into
a disaster. I guess I don’t really know what Christmas is
all about. Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas
is all about?”

“Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about,”
said Linus.
“Lights, please.”

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.

–Book 42, Luke (002:08-14)
The Bible, King James Version
