5 good things

For me:

1. When I left the house after midnight last night, I had somewhere to go.
2. When I met a weirdo on the way, I was wired enough to frighten him away by saying "I almost hurt my baby" with a suitably deranged look.
3. When I got back a couple of hours later, Rob forgave me and had spent the time looking up ways I can get more help.
4. I slept late, if not very well.
5. We had a good dinner, in spite of everything.

For Linnea:

1. She has a great dad, who is always there for her.
2. She can stand on her own for seconds at a time.
3. She didn't lose much weight while sick, and is back on her food again with no loss of enthusiasm.
4. Her cough doesn't seem to be getting worse.
5. She can sleep through a lot of screaming.

Also, we bought a Christmas tree and are going to put it up soon. It's a growing one in a pot, so we might use it again next year, if it doesn't die.

How can you help?

Many people have asked how they can help. Something that I know for sure will make a huge difference to me is if I can have some get well cards to look at while I'm alone in hospital waiting for my op. I expect that to be a lonely, frightened time.

Thank you all for your messages of support. It helps. Really it does.
