Lee's Road to Recovery
Entry for Tuesday July 4, 2006
Today you were not feeling very good, I do hope it is not the antibotic, as there are only a few that will cure what you have.  They took you outside early this morning to watch to wheel chair races on Peachtree - then you had OT, and breakfast - of which you saw again about an hour later - when we got there you were in bed - bad headache, and stomach ache - you ate lunch but not that good - a little watermelon - and really did not feel good  - after lunch dad and I left and came back to the apt so you could rest.  We came back about 5:30 - you went to the rec room and ate all of your hamburger steak and okra and tomatoes - but that was it - I was very surprised that you ate that much - later the therapy group was fixing Ice Cream sundays in the garden and of course you did not want any  - I went and fixed one the way you liked and of course when I got back in the room you ate it  all - vanilla ice cream w/cho syrup and peanuts and of course whipped cream - we stayed until it was time for the fireworks and you did not feel like going out - when we left we both were glad you did not as a thunder storm came from nowhere and they did not do the fireworks . . so all is well - you thought I was leaving tomorrow for Tifton but was fine when I told you no, not until later this week - you are so determined that all three of us must stay together as I am not sure why - other than I take care of the nursing and paper work and well dad is dad - by your side doing what you want to do - to the bathroom, or up and down the halls, outside if for only a minute just to make sure it is still hot - or just sitting in the hall between the ABI Unit and the SCI Unit in a hall way with windows all over -  you can not see very much but more than you can see in your unit - told you it would be late when we saw you tomorrow - you were ready for bed but not for us to leave - we must have some friends up here soon - and maybe I can arrange somethings when I go home - they help ease the day and it takes away the negative thoughts you have - but today I did notice you smiling and watching the nurses in the SCI Unit - this did bring a smile to all and I beleive if you felt better you would have gone out to the the fireworks show from Lenox Square - the next two weeks will be changing everyday - as now you must to more and more to leave and go the Pathways - I do hope I can get all this worked out - that is one reason I must go home - call some people for help in getting you in - but to me asking a favor is so very hard - as I am trying to kill this "jeannie do all" but she has been around so long - I have to withdraw from her slowly - as I do know you all understand - plus I must check out the Lower Forks Condo - as I need to meet a contractor and just see what we need and must do. .I have longe now to compelte this task - just got to find a contractor and some ideas - anyother time I could write it out on paper and finish - but not now as taking care and you and dad - that is my main prority now - it will not take much to fix College - just a little time.. as always love you, say your prayers and ask God to help you feel better - especially about your "love" life and he will guide you in the right direction  - you smiled and said I agree and I hope he can hear me tonight - I laughed and said you do not have to come out from under the covers - you ask -- you peeped out and smiled and said ok mom - I love you - I love you sleep tight.  .love mom
