...thinking about my dad...and my mom...

Dad is still in ICU. I talked to the nurses today and they said that he is getting better in some aspects. They lowered his oxygen so that it's not forcing it's way and is just a regular flow, and his blood oxygen numbers are good. So that's good. Still can only have ice chips though The nurse said something about clamping something to see if he gets nausea. I know he is getting tired of being sick. The nurse said the same. She did say that he does get flustered but always apologizes. That's good to hear acutally. Self aware is a good thing.

I talk to my mom at least once a day. I can hear it in her voice that she is tired. I know from experience that going up to the hospital can take a toll on you quickly. Hopefully she won't have to for much longer. The is rumors that Dad maybe moving to a normal room soon. [insert air quotes here] 

I wish I had more news...but I don't.

Jerry's mom is doing pretty well. Still in the nursing home and s l o w l y healing. Will be at least another month until the prosthetic....or that's what I'm thinking. Nothing official.

It's a short week for me. Teacher planning on Friday means I have the day off. Martin Luther King day on Monday, so I have that off too. Yay! for a long weekend. Thought about going to Michigan but cost of air fares are just stupid. That's a whole other post. $1200 roundtrip to Lansing vs. $330 to Seattle. Really? How is that right. So the farther I go means it's cheaper...UGH...see...I could rant for days about that.

Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate the kind words.

BSG Comes to an end?!

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

Image
So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
