Monday Monday

A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book. ~Irish Proverb

After lunch, Jon rested then Jon woke for a visit from Rebecca and Sunday dinner with Grandma. During which time came a delivery of goodies from Aunt Louisa. Adam, Bryan and Brad brought them by and I was quite impressed that the tray came in without any tampering at all. I don't know if I could have done it. As it stands, after sharing the tray with us last night, we woke to a note written atop the tray, stating that he had been up at 12:30 and counted how many pieces were left... and a warning that he expected to wake today to see that number unchanged. Imagine what might happen if he heard me crinkling the cellophane of his goodies baskets!

There is still some slight swelling and some bruising is appearing along Jon's neck. This is to be expected, as the blood works it's way down (think gravity) and is reabsorbed by the tissues along the way. Jon slept well again last night... well into this afternoon that is ;-) A couple of hours up and about tuckers him right out. He's back resting and will have a short visit with friends today. He hasn't felt the need to take any medication for discomfort today. Jon's goal is to be ready to start 2nd semester on Feb. 3. Which would be 2 weeks out from his surgery. At this point, it looks like it's just a matter of getting his energy back.

Aren't uneventful days wonderful? :-D

  2. Good to hear your cousin's have willpower; maybe it's because I sent a small tray for Adam's family that they were able to keep out. Thanks for the continuing words Joc. Glen asks me to check in so he can read the stories ( I have to bring them up because he refuses to learn this "complicated machine" ).
    Don't forget to check the other blogs as I am writing everywhere !!!
