I am well taken care of

Husband got me all tucked in this morning and then even came home from work to have lunch with me. Well really, he ate his lunch while I nodded off on the couch. But before he left, he laid a fire for me in the woodstove, so all I have to do is strike a match.

And he left me my medicine in a little cup, which is so much nicer than getting it myself out of a bottle.

He also stationed a small spotted kitten to supervise the resting.

But the very best was the note Sophie left me. We've come a long ways from when I would awake from post-surgical rest to find her staring at me in her Fisher-Price doctor costume, waiting patiently to "doctor me up." These days she can get herself ready for school, help Husband with the animals, and fix breakfast all so quietly that I don't wake up at all.

Last night when she gave me this bell she said "If you call me in the night and I am awake, I will come right away. If I am asleep, you can ring this bell and wake me up. If you ring the bell and I do not wake up, then I am sorry!"

I am sore and sleepy from the pain medication but am making a good recovery. Thanks for all the good wishes and thoughts!

You've got a great support team, and I know you're glad for that. Sophie is getting abit older now, and is great with helping out (besides other things). Husband is also a good nurse to you! You are very fortunate to have such a loving family!!

Hope you have a great recovery. The kittens will no doubt speed things along, not to mention the TLC from Sophie & your husband.

Nothing speeds healing like the compassion of a pet. And a husband. And a baby girl. Looks like you're well on your way!

You'll be able to ski this winter, right?
