Amanda was up a little earlier than me this morning. Even though she denies it, she overdid it. She was busy getting things ready to leave, and it took a while to get ready without much of a break in between. Once I was up and going, I was busy doing dishes and taking the…

Even though we didn’t leave town, Friday seemed to be a busy day. After Amanda felt a little better, she worked and handled a few things at home. She had a few phone calls that each lasted a while, taking care of business. In the meantime, I had someone picking up clothes at the cleaners…

Those of you who have followed us for a while know I’m terrible at posting once home! So, don’t expect daily updates; not much is going on anyway. Our first morning back, we both slept late really late; even Tank wasn’t stirring. I don’t know how much Amanda got up in the night, but my…

The night before we left to make the trek home, neither of us could sleep. I guess we were like kids going on vacation. I woke up around 2 or 3, and Amanda was awake too. I was up early to shower, pack, and be ready for the doctors to show up. The cardio NP…

This post is going to be real short! We are home and had an uneventful trip back. Amanda did better than I thought she would, but if you asked her, she might have a different opinion! She did have some pretty bad bouts of pain. They would subside but still come again after much activity.…

Hi everyone, it’s Brittany again! This is a follow-up post to “Bestie Sleepover” where I mentioned I had more to say about some of my interactions on Sunday. First a quick recap, if you recall from my previous post, during my stay with Amanda, I headed out to pick up our liquid breakfast at StarB’s Sunday…

The hospitalist was the first to come by this morning. We’re really getting to where we don’t like her. I haven’t liked her much from the start, but Amanda is just now getting on board. She is being such a pain with the pain medications. I understand she doesn’t intimately know our case, but when…

Hi everyone, it’s Brittany again! I managed to get away this weekend for a quick trip to stay the night with Amanda. It wasn’t long enough… bestie time never is. The hard part isn’t sleeping in a hospital room chair, the hard part is leaving. And the leaving part is actually two-fold: first untangling myself…

After I got to the room last night, I didn’t leave until after lunchtime today. I just lounged around in the hotel robe, which was about mini skirt length on me! I had two showers and shaves; I was refreshed for sure. Brittany stayed until the afternoon, so I was off duty for a coffee…

Well, my bed setup didn’t turn out that bad. I took three blankets and stacked them on the crappy chair, laid my recliner back, locked the wheels, and put my foam on top of everything. I was worried about getting out and my weight shifting to the footrest and tumping over, but it didn’t happen.…
