Granny and Santa are planning something = Lane

4:15 PM Diane and I are sitting in room #219 and watching the BYU - Utah game. Yes!, BYU just scored their first touchdown. Oh good, this makes Diane feel good. She is wondering if she can watch the second half. These ball games are a bit stressful for her. And she loves the old Cougar blue!!!

Before the game Diane started talking Christmas. Of course, on the top of the Santa's list are the grandchildren. How is she going to get her list taken care of? Well, of course, Santa has elves to take care of that.
Oh, how she wants to be home for Christmas! We will see. She is working hard to regain her strength. She used a walker today to get to her door and back. You know those walkers with the wheels and tennis balls. She was very proud of herself.

I spent some time putting lotion and rubbing her feet and legs. We did some leg stretching and moving. She really wants out of here.

Toast! She tells me she is driven mad by the smell of toast being made. She wants bacon and eggs. The aromas are all around her, and she wants to eat. I know this would drive me out of my mind. She sees the food advertising like the Red Lobster.
Can you imagine not having the simple pleasure of eating and drinking?

Diane's a tuff girl. I have a new found respect for her determination. She has a doubt and struggle here and there but she is working hard. She is going to make it, and make it sooner than I thought. 2 weeks ago she was just waking up from her month long snooze.

Thanks for all the cards that are being sent. Diane has a bunch on the wall and more on her table. She reads them over and over. They are a great help to her and lifts her spirits alot
....so again thank you for the cards.

Diane is taking visitors. Best is afternoon or evenings. Thanks for the visitors that have come by. She tells me it is really really boring laying in bed all day...I wonder why...thanks for the visits. So come on in and visit her. She is talking like a mad women...! Lane
