Michael and Stephen are still visiting but Mike will be flying back tomorrow to meet his boat for a long deploy. He had decided to take this recent leave just to be sure that he got a last look in should something happen over the next six months. Nobody anticipates trouble, but it was just a good opportunity for him to take. Also while I had not prepared anything for Mother's Day, this visit served to be a great gift for Laura.
Stephen will be due back later in the week, but it was grand to have him down as well.
I had a nice talk with my mother via face-time today. As again I have made no preparation for her Mother's Day.
I also owe Julie a call for her Mother's Day.
I guess I'm still just a little too self absorbed at my age. I suppose I can bring that up next time I'm in the confessional. Fr. Reid payed me a nice visit while I was in the hospital, and while I didn't have anything really grievous to confess, there were still some faults to work through, and until I die, I expect that to be the case. The key is to look deeper for these faults now.
Earlier today I also had my first visit with my in-home physical therapist, and I tested poorly enough that there is an insurance claim to be made in my case, and tested well enough that there's good hope for restored mobility. Also, I recruited her into playing ingress, and I think she'll be recommending it to her other clients. And of course, all for the Enlightened !
Laura and I are both looking forward to make some small home modifications such as hospital grade hand rails and bath tub assists that will also help Laura as she gets older.
I still have a catheter to manage, and a few upcoming doctor's appointments this week, and a call or two to Social Security but all should be well.
And in all this, Janis and Chris came to visit today and we had a nice pizza party. So how could I not be happy with life in general ?
I thank God for his many blessings!
