Day Plus Ninety-Five

I got home last night around nine-o'clock. Jody eat three meals at the hospital (not without complaint) and she seems to be able to move around better. The pain in her back has decreased. It is a wonder what hydration and a couple of steroids can do for you. We did a couple of laps around the hospital ward. The doctors came in early yesterday (Saturday) and told Jody they did not find any embolisms and her lungs looked clear. They (Doctor Bearman and the nurses) think she may get to come home on Monday, time will tell.

I have to go to Papa Joe's (Jody's father who turns 95 this month) nursing home this morning. He thinks he broke his hearing aid, again. He has a tough time changing his batteries and will not ask the staff to help. It is no big deal to fix. We (Papa Joe and I) are going out for breakfast, just the two of us. It makes him feel good, sort of a pay back for fixing his hearing aid. He loves IHOP... pancakes and bacon, every time. Afterwards, I will take Papa Joe back to the nursing home and then it is on to the hospital to be with Jody. I am hoping to hear lots of good things. I can not stay too long because "trick-or-treat" starts at four-o'clock today here in Denver. In years past Jody and I have developed a reputation as the SCARRY house. "Those people are CRAZY!" was heard often as the "trick-or-treaters" ran for their lives.

We did consider Uncle Fester as some of you have suggested

Several of you called yesterday, a couple texted... Jody loved hearing from you. Thanks!

I will try to post more tomorrow.
