Stu just had dinner--yummy yellow jello, rainbow sorbet, and orange drink. Ohhh-such wonderful hospital food! I can't believe people actually buy Jello in cafeterias or other restaurants--it is meant only for hospitals and recovery.
Stu did a whole lap around the nurse's station for his walk this afternoon. It kind of pooped him out, but he is ready for a swim. He is ready for his Iron Man training!
I'm signing off for the night, and will try to get some sleep tonight. I'm tired.
And by the way, his nurse today is Nurse Betti.. (she is great)

ReplyDeleteDeb, great idea to sign off and get some rest.
Here's to an even better day tomorrow!

Hi Aunt Debbie and Uncle Stu!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to here that everything is going well! Sorry that all you have to eat is jello Stu :( Jello is very gross (and I agree that it is only meant for hospitals!). Sounds like you will be back to your old routine in no time though! Yay! Keep me posted! Love you both!
Love,
Becky
Hi Stu and Deb,
ReplyDeleteCraig "Giffy" shared with me that you had brain surgery and told me about this blog your lovely wife Deb is posting your progress on. I want you to know I have been praying OUT LOUD for both of you.....and God is listening to us all !!!!! Praise Him!!!!
It is so great to see your Ironman progress!!! You are fighting a good fight and racing a good race.......you are a WINNER!!! Keep it up and you will be out there running or riding a real race before you know it.
I will continue sending my prayers and thoughts your way.
God Bless You,

Stu,
ReplyDeleteI was a bit perplexed about your frustration with the catheter. Then I figured out where it was! Now I get it. Ouch!
Take your time recovering. There is no prize for hurting yourself while getting better. On the other hand, we're getting 6'' of snow and it will go down to about 5 here so you can come up and run with me.

Glad to hear things are still going well. Maybe I'll bring you some Greek ouzo when I get there. We've got plenty. I don't drink it because I can't stand the taste. I think I'd rather have jello than ouzo!

Stu and Deb,
ReplyDeleteSleep tight tonight because you've both got a big day tomorrow - maybe two laps around the nurse's station and if you're lucky, coffee and cookies!
Love you both! Keep up the great work!
Austin (Stu's dog) misses you.....
