Tuesday Dinnertime

Reenie is here and I feel like the calvary just came to the rescue!

The kitchen is clean, the groceries have been purchased and put away and Reenie is making an asparagus, prosciutto, mozzarella pasta dish for dinner. Yeah!

As for Mary, she is feeling better today than yesterday. She did take a shower this morning but the effort put her in bed to rest up from the exertion. She has eaten a bit during the day but not a lot. We need to get more food into her. Mary has spent most of the day sitting up in her lounge chair watching old movies--and chatting with Reenie or me depending on the topic. I'd say her pain is lower, her energy is appropriately low but her spirit is definitely on the mend.

The next step is a meeting with the surgeon currently scheduled for Fri May 1. We assume that if any of the tests come back with definitive news, we'll be getting a call.

Reenie and I went grocery shopping. She quickly remembered how to drive a stick shift--even remembered to take it out of 1st gear--eventually. And, she has mastered the geography of Winchester-Santa Cruz, Blossom Hill, Los Gatos Blvd and Lark--the basics for navigating our town.

That's all for now. I'll be heading to work in the AM and Reenie will be here with her sister.
