Mary is home

We had an uneventful trip from Stanford to the house. MaryR brought her walkers she acquired last year during her three surgery recovery periods (thank you for the loan) and visited a bit before she left. Mary used one walker to walk from the driveway to our bedroom. Bill came from across the street and delivered a flower. Yup, he saw us arrive and quickly arranged the delivery of a California Poppy. Thanks, Bill! Mary is now comfortably ensconced in her chaise lounge in the master bedroom and just finished a small lunch of cheese, crackers, strawberries and potato chips. (I know, the potato chips don't fit with the other, but when she started taking them off my plate, I encouraged eating even more!)

I ran down to Walgreens and got all of her prescriptions filled. The pharmacist was very nice and quickly turned the pain killer because she was already past the three hour cycle established at the hospital.

We are working on the dinner menu. It is a bit of a challenge because Reenie and I have been at the hospital full time (even longer), our meals were provided by Gourmet Dreams (and thanks to MaryR for that suggestion), and the cupboards are bare as they say. We'll figure it out.

The bottom line is that its great to have her home, she is still a patient, Reenie is here and knows what she is doing, and I am off of work this coming week so I'll provide the strong back (when needed).
