Well, it is now February 2nd and if you look at the time, I just returned home. It has been a long and hard day. First off we had a meeting this afternoon with the team from Rehab. This included the head nurse, the chef from the kitchen, one of the administrators, supervisor for physical therapy, and a few others. All in all the team is working with me to get hubby home. And, this is now no longer a dream but reality. As I said previously, it’s when. When I arrived, I was told hubby was in the dining room. He was sitting with two others (both men). One was extremely quiet, the other full of information. This last person is in a wheelchair and we started talking. Found out that Amazon sells ramps and the part I really liked was that some are portable. He has one in his van and mentioned that they are solid and easy to transport. I learned quite a lot at this lunch. Too bad he goes home tomorrow. But, at least I am finding alternatives. Sometime next week I will be contacting our health insurance for a hospital bed or something that resembles one for both of us. And that brings me to the main reason. Before leaving for the rehab, I had skinned a couple of apples and then diced them so he could take small bites. I did the orange but left the skin on. Well, hubby decided to take a handful and proceeded to get into a coughing fit. He has a very small esophagus and because he hasn’t been active, the muscles in the throat are not working that well. The nurse on duty had to siphoned and call the physician. Tomorrow hubby will have a chest x-ray and other x-rays to determine that nothing went into the lungs and that his heart and brain are OK. His oxygen level was good at the rehab. I stayed way after midnight and though I wished to stay longer, could not because of my lab tests After the tests, I will return home for a brief few minutes and then will make a stop at the rehab to meet with the head nurse. Will visit with hubby for a few minutes and then drive to Costco and back to rehab. I am tired, but had to let you know that I am OK. Just do not like driving alone after 10:30 pm and tonight it was after midnight.

Weather here is cool, but not cold. I think the temp this afternoon was in the mid 60s. Both hubby and I sat outside after lunch. It was beautiful and no sweater needed. Leaving rehab a bit chilly, but the heat in the car felt oh so good. And though the week was long for you, your pipes will be OK and you can now be warm and cozy.

Have a great Friday. Enjoy the above freezing weather while you can. Almost forgot, today is groundhog day. But no matter what you think, we still will have at least another 6 weeks of winter. I always enjoyed a nice sleigh ride in January. Hope your other furry friends are OK.

Shadow Dancing
Song by Andy Gibb

You got me looking at that heaven in your eyes
I was chasing your direction
I was telling you no lies
And I was loving you
When the words are said, baby, I lose my head
And in a world of people, there’s only you and I
There ain’t nothing come between us in the end
How can I hold you when you ain’t even mine
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
All that I need is just one moment in your arms
I was chasing your affection
I was doing you no harm
And I was loving you
Make it shine, make it rain, baby I know my way
I need that sweet sensation of living in your love
I can’t breath when you’re away, it pulls me down
You are the question and the answer am I
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
And in this world of people there’s only you and I
There ain’t nothing come between us in the end
Ah, can I hold you when you ain’t even mine
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
