Tired Out

Our first day home has been wonderful. Linda is still here with us until Tuesday and has been an enormous help. I can't stess enormous enough.

I'm cooking some sloppy joes (per Mike's request) for supper while Linda is folding laundry and Mike is reading the paper. He and I took a walk this afternoon down the road and back. A mile all total. Mike used his new Nordic Walking poles and did very well. He continues to impress me with his strength and determination. Even at a slow pace he is hard to keep up with. Ok, so maybe I was a little over tired myself but still he can put a move on.

I am seriously tired today and everything feels like a great effort. I keep looking at the clock wondering if it's bed time yet even though we had a nap this afternoon. Maybe this past week has caught up with me finally. It was long and hard that much is for sure.

I'm looking forward to a much lower key week. I do know we will have Home Care out to check on Mike and make sure he is doing well. At first the thought of it made me feel like an old person but now I kinda like the idea of a nurse checking on him. I hope it's someone we know.

I think tonight we are just going to veg in front of the DVD player and call it an early evening. Sound just like what I need...what we all need.

Peace,

Karen
