health is a funny thing

my morning started today at 5am with the beeping sound of the alarm on my new roommate. i miss dorothy. new neighbor barbara had a quad bypass and is hooked up to a dialysis machine, and pees using a bedside commode bucket. i have no more privacy. at least dorothy just layed in bed and tol funny stories. my luxury of sleeping in until 7am has ended for awhile. i need sleep for all this hard work!!! i'm blessed for so many things, and i'm reminded daily as i look around and see others in poorer health than me right now. i'm keeping a positive attitude that i will get better and i have to believe this has been the key to my success. i'm fortunate for the muscle strength that i have and that i ont have to build that in order to stand or walk like others, i see people with neck braces, and who r bedridden, or strapped to their wheelchair so they dont fall out. hospitals r 4 sick people, i want out of here!! i'm encouraged by the big caRROT THE DOCTOR HAS DANGLED IN FRONT OF ME WIth the possibility of getting out next week. stay tuned....skippy
