Move ON

[lavendertook]

We got a bunch of Republicans out of office the other day, and today, we got my dad out of the ICU, so it's shaping up to be a good November. Today he moved to the CCU (Cardiac Care Unit), which is where people who have heart surgery normally go post-op after 3 days in the ICU--my dad got 23 days in the ICU instead. He has a semi-private room in the CCU and a 4th floor view out of which he can see our town, Collingswood, in the distance. And a TV in which he can see disgruntled Republicans--both do his heart good. His spirits are up--now we have to get his strength restored. I'm looking forward to hearing his voice when I go up on Saturday.

Thank you to everyone who has sent words of support and well wishes. You've really bolstered me through a difficult time and I'm more grateful than I can say.

I'm glad that both the personal and the political are looking up for you... ;-)

Hope everything keeps improving.

Well, realistically, it's really jusat less worse. (-; But I'll take what we can get.

I still owe you an email from way back. I will find it!

[morgan-dhu.livejournal.com]

Looking up and improving are, alas, relative by nature.

As for the email - dinna fash yersel', lassie. You've been dealing with a lot, and email is forever (or until your hard drive crashes).

They sure are.

WOO HOO!!!! Such good news!!! What a great thing to wake up to this morning!

And I'm glad we LJers could be of some help. I was impressed by how rationally you were able to explain things this past month. It all held together quite well too, from the reader's point of view. Now I'm going to stop before I go any further into talking like a Lit Crit... hee!

Ty. (-:

Well, it's nice to know I've found my proper audience. ;-P

Ty!

Wonderful news about you Dad! A great November indeed!

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Ty--we hope so. Pretty icon!

I'm so glad to hear your dad's doing better!

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Ty! If we could just get him to eat--we're still taking it day by day.

Good luck with healing to you!

I'm so glad to hear that your father is improving! I can only imagine how relieved you must be feeling.

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

TY--we'll feel more relieved when he starts eating more. Today was a less good day--he's being more tired and refusing food. So we just have to take it day by day.

This is really true: good views speed recovery.

My very best to you and your father.

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Being a particularly visually oriented person, I wouldn't doubt it.

Ty.

Wonderful!!! *S*

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

Ty for the thought, hon.

[seaya.livejournal.com]

Good news!

P.s. You should just keep moo moo and tuxie. ;)

I can only keep them as outdoor cats though, which is only ideal if you live in the country, and is not any where near ideal here due to the prevalence of cars, sadistic humans, and coyote sightings./-: And being a worrier, keeping outdoor cats is not ideal for me either. My two indoor cats live cramped enough in this efficiency.
