Rambling Time

I'm back home again. We got back on Friday. It was great seeing my family, however the circumstances weren't ideal. Maybe next time we can actually plan a reunion picnic or something that doesn't involve hospitals.

Mom and Dad called today, as they do every Sunday. I the Sunday call. If it's even seconds late, Jerry teases me about "what I did to get off the call list". Anyway, Dad is slowly healing. Sometimes I think they forget that it was just two weeks ago that things were so dire. I know it's hard for him to just sit around the house when you are used to being active. Slow and steady wins the race.

I was excited to see Jerry's mom. Wanted to see her walk and maybe take her out, yeah...no. I asked Jerry if he was sure our last name wasn't Schleprock. She is battling a bout of congestive heart failure. Her nurse said she was doing lots better today. ....one leap forward a dozen steps backwards.... Today she was so sleepy that she couldn't even stay awake to finish a sentence and was very pale. I don't like seeing her like that.

We kind of chuckled while watching HawthoRNe on TNT. Someone on the show said "God never gives us more than we can handle", and the patient said, "Sometimes he keeps piling it on for sport". (probably paraphrased) That's how we are feeling.

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

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!
