Greetings,
Well it is amazing what 24 hours can do for a person. Today, I finally feel like I am getting back to normal. I drove today for the first time in 6 weeks. Wow, what a feeling of control over your life again. So, since I can now drive mom and Deanna said it was time for me to blog.

Yesterday, we had a very busy and exciting day. I went to clinic at 7:30 and had ultimately good results. Most times when I go to clinic the lab results are back by the time the dr. comes in to see be but for some reason that did not happen yesterday. Mom and I waited for 30 mins. for them to get in and then there was a confusion on a level and they had me in the "swing" room for more magnesium fluid then someone realized that there was a confusion on what they were talking about and I was able to go home. Whoo, close call. End result was my labs were good but I still have low blood pressure so they said to eat salt. I have avoided salt for years so bring on the chips! After, a day of salt overload I feel much better today. Also, on the plus side I was able to cut out a few more pills each day.

The second exciting thing for the day was Deanna and I were both up and dressed by 9am that has been a first. Yeah!! Mom decided it was the day to get out and run a round. She is determined to get us walking. Which is good for us but Deanna and I just look at each other and say "ok". We started by going to the mall and doing a little shopping and walking. We were there for a couple of hours then went to Chilli's for lunch. I had the saltiest french fries I think I have ever ate in my life. Boy, they sure were good. Then we came home an Mom decided to go do the laundry. Deanna and I decided to stay home and took a 3 hour nap. That night we went to a cute little place called "Sugar Sister" they serve a light meal and lots of cakes and sugar. Well, on Monday nights they play "Sugar" (Bingo). For prizes they give away little cakes and gift certificates and for the grand prize they gave away a momma cake(white wedding). We did not win anything but had a great time. It was great to spend time like that with Mom and Deanna. We will sure miss her in a few days. But, it is time for her to get back to her boys. I don't know about the others but I slept very good last night for the first time in a long time.

Today was just as exciting. Deanna had her 2 week follow up appointment and she got good results. They also gave her a plaque for being a donor what a great gift. It was pretty chilly this morning so we went back to the mall to walk and do more shopping. Mom bought a great looking purse. We then went to lunch with Jan Kleystuber who came to town. It was great to see her and we had a nice time visiting. Again, we came home and took a nap. Tonight, we think we will stay in and watch "Dancing with the stars".

It will be a sad day to put Deanna on the plane on Thursday, but that just means we are one step closer to getting back to normal. After clinic on Friday Mom and I plan to come home for the weekend. My kids are excited to get to sleep in their own beds. Thanks, for all your continues prays and blessings.
