All in all, I wish I were home

Down in Southern California. [Sigh] Missing Trey. Helping Lois recover from back surgery [which is a lot of up and down the stairs, with extra stairs thrown in, as I do the housework, cooking, laundry - while checking on her at least hourly during the day. There's lot of doing exercizes [slowly increasing various muscle exercizes] and accompanying her around to make sure she walks. Timing to let her have some time sitting up [but not too much], doing tests on her blood sugar [ewww!]; animal caring for - plant watering and bouquet consolidation(!). And providing someone for her to talk to. A lot. ^_^ I've timed it that out of every waking hour, I'm on 'my own' for about 15 minutes of it. Astonishing how much time just -getting well- takes a person.
