Birthdays

I celebrated a birthday Sunday (that means Greg is getting older). Had a great day with the children and grands. Had the best meal I've had in 6 weeks (I cooked it myself). The girls got a little upset at me because they wanted to take me out. I told them I wanted something to eat that would not upset my stomach (must be the medicine I've had to take since the surgery but everything I've eaten has either smelled funny or had a horrible aftertaste). Therefore, I felt if I cooked it I would know exactly what went in it and maybe I wouldn't have any problems. I was right. It was great. I even made my own birthday cake (spice, my favorite). As I said it was a great meal and a great day.

I am doing well - walking 2 miles every morning (ordered by the doc) and feeling better as each day goes by. I have weened myself off most medicine so my emotional state is getting better also. The doctor released me to drive and to ween off the brace so I feel like I have been released from house arrest. Of course, it helped that Hannah was over here a couple of weeks ago and she "found the devil with a flash light and swept him out of Memama's house". I guess that is why I feel so much better.

Thank you all so very much for your prayers and thoughts. It really meant a lot to me. Hope you all have a great week.
