I know I have been bad about keeping in touch

Well.......I am in that phase where it is strange writing the same old story. The daily routine has changed slightly and I am still up and down but mostly up !! I would say I am 80% now. I have more alert time and moving around more. The labs are all over the place so we are trying to get all the electrolytes and blood counts evened out. There is one test which shows muscle damage and those tests are coming in high but erratic. First they were very low. So if they get too high I have to stop the antibiotic. Are there other options? Not sure. I am advocating for the Dr.'s ( 3 main ones) to have a pow wow and give me aspirations and cultures from samples of both hips after two weeks off antibiotics. They want to redo the right hip due to the plastic wearing away and now have metal scraping metal. But they have to see if it is also infected. Before they do this I want to know if the first hip bacteria is gone. Seems responsible to me. I guess there are other concerns and possible options for airborne bacteria. So not sure what is going to happen. PT in the left leg-hip is going slow but good. Can not do anything with the right even though it is my "good one". If the prosthesis cracks it could crack my pelvis and cause major damage. But I have to keep it strong so I can heal the other one. Balancing act is the word for now.

My good friend-aunt Mary is staying with me and we are eating well and laughing. We are observing this crazy world in which we now live and there is nothing to do but laugh. I feel blessed to have so many companions !! Nina will be hanging with me Sunday-Tuesday while Mary goes back to Chicago to check on her condo which she is going to place on the market. If you know anyone looking for a place in Chi Town let me know. Nina and I were thinking of attempting a visit to Grandma's. We shall see. At the very least we will have quality time.

Douglas is in Asheville and all is going very good. The client is very happy so far. They are in full construction-design mode and has to be done in 9 weeks. It sounds like they will do it. I can not wait to see it and mostly HIM. He is missing home but having a good experience and loves the team. He also is staying with our very dear friend in Asheville, Constance. She just moved into her new space and he says she is the ultimate hostess with the mostess. I wish I were there to yuck it up.

That is all I have to say today. I have been writing a more intellectual blog for later. My brain works overtime at night with many insights but hard to write for the public.

Much love to everyone !!!!
