Today it has been two weeks since our hero was cut open and she is doing great. In fact you would never know that she had open heart surgery, except that big old fresh scar down the center of her chest. Jane Jane has been doing really well, and her appetite is back. I will let you know that she was quite upset when I told her she could not have a Berger cookie last night. (It was 11:30 to late for chocolate, but she was flying high on her painkillers) We have set up a simple a schedule. She sits upstairs and watches TV all morning, walking 5 minutes an hour. Then she moo-ves downstairs to accept visitors in the afternoon, She did admit to me yesterday that three people is too much and we would like to keep it to two visitors a day. Then she looks at all the lovely flowers that everyone has sent and ponders the existence of the tooth fairy or how to solve a problem like Maria.
Our next project will be getting Mooma to Moo-ve Moo-re.
Now that the rains have parted, I am bound and determined, to get her outside.
I have not had to call the biological children yet, but I will. (I did have to call them earlier this week with an issue. Go figure no one answered the phone)
She loves to chat on the phone so give her a call, and set an appointment to stop by. If you want to bring food, she is on low sodium, high fiber diet, and I remind you that she needs to do her walking. She will say I will do it when they leave, and I ask you her public to say I would love to take a walk in the garden with you, or why don’t you show me Henry’s favorite spot to pee in the living room.
Thanks again for the entire blogosphere of warm wishes, but we really need to get her to move.
Until the next post.

UPDATE: Jane has a bad cough due to the tube down her throat she has been told not to talk so much. So she request, no phone chats, but e-mails. thanks

Thanks, Paige, for the update. Talking to Jane yesterday, I concluded that her visits with friends at home or on the phone need to be short as too much talking is a strain. But, it was great to hear your voice, Jane. We'll talk again soon and I promise for only a short time for awhile.
ReplyDeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautiful out today. I'm glad that you're home to see your garden grow and, I hope, to feel the sun on your face. Nicest thing happened today. One of the women in the building is fostering rescued dogs until they can be adopted. The little dog she has now greeted me with deep growls the first time we met, but today she wanted me to play with much tail wagging and kisses. She'll soon be perfect for a family.
hope today is good and tomorrow better.

Dear Jane,
ReplyDeleteJust great to follow your wonderful progress and giggle some too. I would love to walk with you to see Henry's favorite place to pee in the living room!
Best wishes for good walks and good movies.
Mary
Glad to know you're feeling a bit stronger although sorry to hear about the sore throat. Tim's going to PA to see the kids this weekend, leaving me behind to do my spring cleaning. I'll check in to see if you'd like some company over the weekend. Call if you need anything at all!
ReplyDeleteCheers! Angie
Hi Jane,
ReplyDeleteYour note was wonderful and it was so good to hear from you directly. I hope these warm spring days will lure you for short walks in your beautiful garden. I look forward to walking with you there soon. Or how about a few hands of Bridge in your garden room? Keep up the good recovery. We are all so proud of you and wish you continued progress. Happy Easter. Ginnie
