After lunch, Amanda had to spill the beans. She’d planned a little something for my birthday. Our heart friends that live close by were bringing a cake for my birthday. Amanda had planned for them to have a hospital dinner date with us. They ended up being sick, though. That didn’t stop them from delivering…

One of the main reasons I stayed last night was Tank barking. Daytime is much better; people are gone for testing, eating, and not even checked in. Nighttime will make sleeping people mad! I decided when I woke up that I was going to see Amanda no matter how Tank acted. I planned to get…

Well, I haven’t quite made it to see Amanda yet. I’m beginning to wonder if bringing Tank was a bad idea. Before I left Tank, I showed him how to use the chair to get in the bed. He’s getting old, and we have a ramp for him at home. He wouldn’t quite use the…

Friday was a beauty day! Amanda got a hair cut and colored. She was a few weeks overdue since we were in the hospital for her last appointment. She loves to get her hair done and has been seeing her stylist for a long time. No need to explain how she needs her hair done,…

I know, I know, y’all have probably been wanting an update. We are home, but not for long; we head back to Houston on Sunday. We took it easy Wednesday morning, waiting for things to thaw out. Amanda needed to take it easy getting ready, as well. She asked me to move a chair to…

We woke to a winter wonderland this morning. Snow was falling, and we had been through the night. The Starbucks crew was on duty, but only for a limited time today. Unfortunately, the espresso machine, of all things, was down, so there was no espresso or steamed milk. I panicked about what to get. I’ll…

I was tired when the alarm went off this morning. About an hour before my alarm went off, Amanda had texted me what room she was in. It took all night, nearly 12 hours, to get a room on the floor. It’s good that she got a bed because that would have been a long…

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…
