The Best Medicine

My sister in law Marianne came to stay with me for the day. Dan and Taylor had purchased tickets to a hockey game for Friday nite and U of M football for Saturday against North Western. We discussed the pros and cons (which there were NO cons) about going and leaving me. Because I'm so bossy, I told him to go.I wanted him to go, Everyone wanted him to go. There was NO reason for him to stay and watch me fade in and out in a 10x14 foot private room. Spending time with his son to me, having a Father/Son weekend is priceless. I have plenty of family and friends who can assist me should i need it. It wasn't like I was on my death bed or pending another surgery.

So I jumped in the the shower first thing Friday morning. Got all dolled up in my pajamas (I don't think I can wear their designer gowns anymore) freshened all up and here he comes in with Taylor. They stayed and visited for a few hours and by 11am they were off to Michigan only to be returning back to me by 700pm the next evening.

I got to spend the day with my sis in law. I really had a good time with her. We've known each other for 26 years but some how, I feel like maybe she learned a little more about me. We actually talked all day. Did some walking a few different times, went to the Atrium and the library on the 5th floor. (and yes I did walk around the hospitals with my Pajamas on) I mean....who knows me? and frankly.....who cares?

Guy called and showed up after work to pick her up. Patty and Scott showed up, now there is a recipe for cackling. Laughter is the best medicine. I dont care if you're on the giving or receiving end of it. Laughter is great. That to me is better than all the medicines in the world. Well I get to come home on Saturday around 1pm and them I'm going to Vegetate for a few days. I will blog later. I dont want to do anything to create a 'Dolly 2" if ya know what I mean. Dollyworld is shut down......good nite and God bless!
