April 23, 2009 Drain might come out next Thursday

Thank you so much for your very sweet email! We know that we have not been forgotten and are really looking forward to getting back to our balcony perches (at church) soon. My doctors visit dates have changed since my last update so the soonest I can possibly get the other drain out will be next Thursday, but we are feeling pretty confident it will be able to be removed then. Right now I am really doing pretty good and can do most things for myself other than showering and being able to get up and down out of a chair or sofa (can't sleep in a bed yet). My Mom comes every morning and stays with me all day until John gets home at night. John also worked last Saturday trying to catch up on things at the office so he stayed home with me last Sunday and let my Mom have a day off. So, for right now, John is needed as much as he can after he gets off work to relieve my Mom, but you can bet the first day I am able to stay by myself - I am going to suggest that he definitely go "catching" with Mike!!! John definitely deserves some fun in the very near future so I know he will be looking forward to the humbleness of the wonderful offer!!! Best Love to you both,Liz and John
