I'm Really Back

I have been dictating my post each day to Janet and making her do the typing for me.  Today I'm doing this myself.  Janet has abandoned me for the day....but she left Dazy in charge.  I'm working at staying up for longer periods of time (meaning in an upward position). It's getting better all the time. I made cards this morning, and have been online paying bills and reading my email over lunch.....I have to get in shape to ride in the car down to Rochester next Tuesday. I need to have enough strength to get around Mayo and sit in waiting rooms for extended periods of time.
Yesterday Annie and Janet were cleaning fools.  Annie first tackled my linen closet to make room for cleaning supplies from my kitchen cupboard, which she moved my basement pantry up to. (mostly can goods) but I no longer will have to run to the basement for (as if I could).  In doing so she threw away several bags of what she considered trash or outdated items.  Then Janet joined her and they tackled the basement Christmas tree.  They undressed it, and took it outside to live.  Then they put all the cloth ornaments in the dryer to dust and fluff, and packed them away for another month or so.  Don't know what other things they dug through and threw out, but they seemed satisfied.  I'm was happy not knowing.  Annie also made the big step and packed up all her CareBears and took them home.  Only seemed fair to me!!  When Kathleen was here, I also went through my closet and sent her home with a large bag of hand-me-downs as well as bagged up 2 bags for Lupus.  So this last week at home has been a closet cleaning process.  My closets are not yet empty, but atleast they are not bursting at the seams.
I'm continuing to eat well, holding my weight, and Janet said I had a lot more color this morning.  Thanks for all those prayers, it seems the healing process is a much bigger task this time, but I am improving.  Love and prayers, m
