Sinus Infections Galore!!

Since I last spoke with you all we have had quite a week.  My girlfriend came down with the same virus that turned into a severe sinus infection and then the same night Papa was coughing up a lung so to speak.  He was also diagnosed with a severe sinus infection as well.  We have all been taking antibiotics (Z Pak) which is a five day course of treatment and everyone seems to be doing much better.  I have been working on exercising Papa's legs to help him get rid of some of the tone in the muscle of the right leg that was affected by the stroke.  His physical therapist will come tomorrow so I want to keep his leg loose so he will be able to do his therapy without so much pain.  I am still working on getting him to get up more so I think as he starts feeling better after his infection that he will feel stronger and want to get up a little more.  

What A Week!

What a way to start the week. The little cold that I had has turned into a full blown sinus infection. I think that I will try and go to the doctor and see if I can get some medicine to knock this thing out of me. Papa had physical therapy today and seemed to do very well he is now taking a little nap after some food and refreshment. His physical therapist has recommended that we take the larger of the two rooms that where offered because the orientation of the room is better for healing of his right side. It will be better in the long run because it is probably three to four sizes bigger that the room that we are in now.
On a lighter note it sounds like our little grandson who recently had surgery is doing very well and charming the life out of everyone he meets. He just had his six month birthday. I was able to go out on Sunday and have some time at the Moose Lodge with my karaoke friends and even got to sing a song before it was time to leave. It was so nice to see my friends again.

Lazy Sunday

Here we are sitting here being a little bit lazy but it feels so good. Had a late breakfast of french toast and Papa had an omelet. I am going to go and sing for a few hours tonight and am looking forward to it. Maybe next week Papa will feel well enough to go. We're working on getting him strong enough to do that. It's so good to see the sun out since the last to days were so cloudy and rainy.

Busy Times

Hi everyone! Sorry it has taken so long to visit with all my readers. Well where do I start? So much has happen since my last post. To start with I have had my second bad cold of the year for one. The best news yet is that my dear sweet husband is finally home with me after six long months in the hospital. He still has much recovering left to do but is coming along very well. He has three therapists that visit twice a week and a home health nurse that pops in and out as needed. Because he still cannot walk or stand to well on his own we have had to rent a room in a friends house because our condo is on the second level of the building and he still can't manage stairs and my friends house is all one level which at this time is much easier for us. We have quite a set up for him and he seems very comfortable.
Papa is not the only news in our family. Last month one of your little grandchildren had to have surgery to correct what they call a bowl malformation. I'm glad to say that our little four month old is doing very well and has bounced back remarkably well. His poor mother is still trying to recuperate after many nights sleeping with one eye opened while he was in the hospital.
Back in October I finally had my carpel tunnel surgery done on my right wrist I'm glad that my hand and wrist fully healed before Papa came home.
On a lighter note my middle son and his wife are expecting there third baby so we will be grandparents again. I will try and keep up better with my news.
