A Down Day and Bad News....

Perhaps it was the bad news that sent my day into a down day.  No clue.

After several days of progress, I took a day off.  It all started with an early phone call from my BFF, Marji.  It was her cell phone, and she sounded breathless, so I knew immediately that something was wrong.  And I was right.  She was back in the hospital.  But this time it was not the infection but rather her heart.  She had gone into heart failure again and fluid as building up in her lungs so they had gone back into the hospital the night before.  She just wanted me to know where she was.  And I am honored at that.  Marji generally will not tell anyone when she is ill, even her family.  But she knows I will honor her request for no visitors.  Her doctors had already been in and there was already progress in her recovery, so she is hoping to go home today (Wednesday).

I had planned to go to the gun range, but decided to get some paperwork finished and set my pre-surgical testing at the new facility in Parkesburg.  So I made a couple of calls and set up everything for today.  So shortly I will head to the new Lancaster General Health facility that just opened.  I will be interested to see what it is like.  It is very nice to have such a facility so close to the house.

The rest of the day I watched TV.  I turned off cable and turned on my Roku Box and headed to my West Wing videos.  I really was a big fan of The West Wing when it was being shown.  It was a well written and interesting show that highlighted the behind the scenes happenings of the President.  I own the DVD set of all seven seasons, but I have also watched it on Netflix and am doing the entire series again from the beginning.  I am in the final year.  There are still a couple of the programs that I may not have seen, so I am enjoying it very much.

I really enjoyed the day.  But enough of that... back to reality today.  Testing and then more cleaning at the house!

The biggest , fun thing I did yesterday was to play the Giraffe Riddle game on Facebook.  I answered a riddle and thought I was very smart.  But, I got it wrong. So I had to change my profile picture to a giraffe.  There are several going around on Facebook, but I downloaded this cute baby giraffe for my profile.  Enjoy! She makes me smile!
