I have been in Oregon for 1 1/2 weeks now. Marge had her surgery and came out of it like a rock star. We were supposed to be at the hospital bright and early on Monday morning. We got there and got her checked in and prepped for surgery. The rest of the family started trickling in, first Betty and Jim with Tammy then Theresa. We sat in the waiting room for hours waiting for news that she had come through surgery. We had a wonderful time visiting, laughing and enjoying each others company. Theresa, being the ever thoughtful person she is brought snacks and bottles of water, that was amazing! As it happens so often with surgery she got pushed back and didn't get finished until around noon. Marge was kind of groggy but came around when we all went into her room and kept her awake with our chatter. Apparently the staff of the hospital noticed us laughing and talking. They told Marge about us several times.
She was able to come home Monday evening and has been recovering very well. She is walking without her walker or cane while in the house. She doesn't like going to Physical therapy, but is doing it anyway.
Yesterday we drove into Eugene and went to a store I have wanted to visit for years. Mountain Rose Herbs. It is a beautiful store. It is full of essential oils, herbs, Tincher's, teas, just everything you can imagine in a herb shop. I spent a lot of money in there, but probably less than I thought I might. I might want to go back again before I go home.
