Preakness Day

Although my Derby watching experience 2 weeks ago was unique, I have to say that watching the Preakness in HD in a hotel room is probably a bit more satisfying. HA! So thankful to be out of the hospital! (but darn,no Triple Crown winner again this year!)

The events of the past couple of days have been bittersweet. We had another "changing of the guard" on Friday when Renee left to go back home and my dad and aunt Doris Jean arrived. I was very sad for Renee to leave. She had been such a comfort to me since getting released from the hospital and getting settled into the hotel setting. She was so good at anticipating my needs and making sure I had everything I needed. But I know she was missing her family very much and needed to get back home. And to their credit, Daddy and Doris Jean are also taking good care of me. She has been cooking for us and they both have been helping me with my needs. We took a walk outside earlier, which I needed. I have been pretty sore and stiff today and that has affected my mood, but I am trying to stay positive. Everyone keeps telling me that I am doing great considering all I have been through, but I guess I am impatient. Please keep the positive vibes and messages coming!
