THE FALLEN AND THE HEROES
__________________________________
I returned home to Vancouver...the Couve....last evening...Wed.
The first leg of the trip was unique in that Burt and I were on the same flight from Wausau to Minneapolis. I knew that was cause for a.............
"selfie" photo shoot.
Don't look at me like that.......
SMILE.....
Burt was on his way to Mississippi and I was on my way to Washington....We didn't sit next to each other, which was alright since he slept. In the airport he treated me to a visit to the World Club which he has membership to. Nice. It pays to have a diamond level perks customer for a son.
My 3&1/2 hour flight from MSP went quickly though I was sitting between 2 rather large fellows. I watched a free movie of The Million Dollar Arm. It was entertaining and inspiring, especially after realizing it was a true happening. Then a bit of reading and soon we were landing in Portland. Yeah!
It was 5PM PDT. I had been gone for 5 weeks to the day. I was happy to be home......in bed for the night at 9:30 since my body was telling me it was 11:30.
It always takes me several days to refocus on everyday life. This time it is no different, yet different because I need to let go of the convalescent atmosphere and get back into the flow of life out here.
Today I have been making a slow transition. There is more concern because Lou was re-admitted to Marshfield hospital today after a series of post op exams. His heart and lungs are looking fine, but he is quite weak. There were to be more tests throughout the day. I have not heard how they came out.
Tomorrow morning Deb is flying back to Wisconsin for a few days to be with Lou. In some ways I feel I should have stayed longer, but I also feel it was time for me to return home. Big Lou looking hopeful and forward....
On Tuesday I went for a walk between the rain storms. I came across some photo worthy mushrooms.....
A Fairy Village??
I would have thought so in my young years....
This has been a good 3 "the struggle continues" days in the life of Grandma G.
