CHRISTMAS, SURGERY, NEW YEARS

CHRISTMAS:
We went to Stacy's right after church. Sean was all set to make Amereto Sours. I said yes then had to say no (surgery rules). Oh well, next time.

We had a sleep over and the next morning we had our opening of presents. My goodness Santa was good to us. I got a D.S. (which I had asked for) and many games. The best one is the Brain Age. I tried it out and have a brain age of 64. That is 7 years more than I am old. Feeling sortof bummed (but also knowing I wanted something like this to stimulate and get going) Bob tried it out. Hummm.. He got a brain age of 80. Whoo hoo. I don't feel so bad. Kris Gilman wanted to try. She also got 80. She said I want to try again. So we put in Melo's birthday etc. She tried again and it was still 80. Now I know I am going to practice and get better than my age.

P.S. Bob tried again last night and he is now 63 brain age. It helps to practice.


SURGERY.
Day after Christmas I was in the surgery unit in Columbia. I was really calm. I guess I was ready for things to be different down there.

After about 1 and 1/2 hours I was in the recovery room. Bob missed the Dr. because he went out of the hospital to do a couple of things and didn't get back in time (the Dr. told him 2 hours - but he was quicker than that.) So the Dr. came in to see me and said everything went fine. I was just wanting more nap. The exit nurse asked me if I had my perciset with me. I said no. She told me to take some when I got home. MISTAKE.

I took it and ended up throwing up and passing out. Talked to the Dr. (Gloria prompted me to do that - thanks glo). He said no to the perciset. I got a lot better by the third day. I have had naps everyday. So...thanks for all the prayers and good wishes.

NEW YEARS EVE.
Bob wanted to spend New Years eve alone (him and I) so he could go to bed when he wanted to. (He has been sleeping off a cold) BUT...Kris Gilman was spending it all alone (only Maggie, her dog, to keep her company). She said let me bring pizza and some movies. TA DA instant party.

Bob had already gone to the store to get stuff for banana splits. That is what I wanted for New Years eve. So we had one more for splits. It was fun, although I sat on my bum too long and got the throbbies.

We saw..Hairspray (boring) couldn't wait for that one to be finished.

White Chicks. Loved it all the way.

Wild Hogs. OK - had some fun parts.

Kris spent the night and went home early in the morning. Had to feed her horses.
