SATURDAY -- PORT IN TODAY FOR DIALYSIS

FEELIN' GROGGY TODAY!














ROCK IN PLACE one more day--they are late to get his port in and start dialysis by 2 days so TODAY they are finally doing so, and he is sedated-probably only take 2-4 hours, BUT, he will be groggy, so Erik and I will probably go over tomorrow to have a better quality experience--meanwhile, Kathy, Erik and I are going to go up to nearby Mt. Dora for afternoon, walk around the cute little town, have a little lunch, and enjoy the beautiful day-tomorrow it may rain..
AND believe it or not, there was a turtle , a big one, walking toward our pond yesterday morning when I went to get in my car, and I considered it a good good omen especially from Sharon, who reminds me not to think of frogs for Kent, but turtles for Tom! Onward--I had not seen a turtle around here for months, maybe years--!! Marilyn


P.S. This is Sharon explaining about the turtles.... Rather than looking for big "frog leaps" in progress in Tom's recovery, I reminded Marilyn of The Hare & the Tortoise story -- slow and steady wins the race. Hoping Tom keeps steadily plodding along on the road to recovery -- slowly, a step at a time, sometimes just resting, sometimes a bump in the road, but moving forward! I found lots of pictures of turtles on line that fit the various stages of Tom's journey to recovery, so you'll be seeing them now and then on the blog. :)

  1. Sounds like you will have a nice outing today, Marilyn, with Erik & Kathy! That will be a pleasant change. I'm sure Tom will be glad to see you tomorrow when he is more with it again. Give him another hug from us and here's a big hug ( ) for you too! Bunches of love to all, Kent & Sharon
