Simple Pleasure

Survivor!

When I walk out of this building, I noticed this Marigold surrounded by cement.

I was surprised and pleased that it grew in this awkward place.

This lone flower is my Simple Pleasure this week.

Dayle, over at A Collection of This and That, is hosting Simple Pleasures.
Please join us every Thursday.

Update on Tom!

Tom and I felt your prayers, all day long!

Family, friends and Bloggers...

your support has been appreciated!

Now, which knee is it?

Oh yea... Dr. is signing his initials on the "Right" knee.


I must be a true blogger to have my camera handy.

All done!! YEA!!! Now it's visiting time!

Tom only had a partial knee replacement.

Recovery should be very quick.

(Lulu started gymnastics today and hasn't taken off her cute little leotard,

besides she had to show Papa!)

Thanks again for all the prayers and support.

We both are very grateful.

God is good!

Etiquette for visiting a patient in a Hospital:

*Do not wear perfume. Perfume can even gag healthy people

*Always check with the nurse before you bring a food present.

*Only stay a few minutes. The point of your visit is to wish the patient well.

*If either the nurse or doctor have to do something, be polite and leave the room while

they are attending the patient.

*Above all, remember that patients are in the hospital because they are sick.

So just use your common sense, smile and be positive during the visit.

Knee Replacement for Tom

I'm taking time off from work to be Tom's nurse for a week.


No more of this for awhile.

He'll have to wait to do this.

Good-by bowed legs.

Hello walker!

Can't wait to have your smile back and

Arthur can't wait for his walk!

Hints for after surgery, once you are home:

Avoid uneven floors or wet floors in the bathroom and kitchen.

Watch for pets that may jump on you or run in your path.

Wear rubber soled and low, closed heeled shoes to prevent slipping.

Use your walker and crutches and hold onto handrails when using cane.

Keep rooms well lit even at night.
