Pink Sky in the Morning
i'm in Room 11492 at Barnes Jewish Hospital. I think I've been in this very same room before. Ir has a beautiful view overlooking Interstate 64 and a pink sky in the wee hours of the morning. The people remember me from my previous stays and each time I get a new bracelet. I told the admitting clerk I was tired of all this same old jewelry. For the prices they charge, I could have diamonds instead. Also. for the room service and the view and the prices they charge, I could stay at the Chase Park Plaza. I'm having my second cup of coffee now as I wait for breakfast in bed.
I'm all hooked up to wires and monitors so the neurology staff can perhaps determine what and why part of my brain the seizures stem from. I believe I'm also on a camera besides the wires and monitors. They are keeping a closer watch on me now than they did first time. I had a seizure yesterday and wasn't aware of it but was disoriented for a bit per the staff. I do remember thinking it was morning because I had a nightgown on and I wanted coffee. I don't know if I had ant seizures in my sleep. The staff hasn't said anything about it yet. I don't know if that would be good or bad - hope for or hope against?
The RN just brought me my third cup of coffee and said said I had no more seizures during the night. She did say that was what I'm here for so I could probably leave after I've had some more. What she didn't know was where I could go. Back to BJEC?? or home?
The sun is up now but the sky still looks pink. This is a private room and I won't get a room mate. This tiny TV is difficult for me to watch. I believe my computer screen is just as big as the screen on that TV.

BJEC
Sue has had five stays now in Barnes Jewish Extended Care Facility about five minutes from our house. The staff there are extremely capable and always kind. Many of them go out of their way to ease the lives of the people who reside there. Sue and I had an example of someone giving that extra effort this morning.
Sue was scheduled to be at Barnes Jewish Hospital in the Central West End at 10:00 am. I called for her, and we went to the car, me pushing her in a wheelchair. It was cold and blustery so we were hurrying. A worker passing by asked if we wanted him to return the wheelchair for us. I explained that I had to go back in to get a token for exiting the parking lot, so I would take it back. Sue and I finished loading everything. The worker returned with a token in hand and took the chair for us.
It was many small acts of kindness like his that made Sue's stays so much more pleasant and tolerable.

BARNES
I played Bingo last night. Lost - but had fun. Had scheduled to go out to dinner with Jack but my ankle is swollen so the doctor suggested I stay off it less than I usual so Jack and I had dinner in the dining room and then I played Bingo. He thinks Bingo is boring.
I'm waiting for Rose to take me back over to Big Barnes as we call it. Maybe they'll find out this time what is wrong with me and also why my ankle has swollen up. Are the two connected? The doctor here did another Doppler on my ankle yesterday but no word on that. The physicians will interpret that at Barnes, I guess. I don't know how long I will have to stay there but I sure they are tired of testing me. The technician who did the second doppler left card for me tho call him and tell him what they determine is the diagnoses.
Brother Donald called me yesterday evening. He also thought the Family Picture collection was a good idea. Looking back over over previous blogs I should haave been doing this for years. I will start now. More later. Rose is here.

FAMILY PICTURE COLLECTION
This will be two posts in one day with just email and phone news. I type very slowly so I keep busy just correcting my errors. I wanted to add news about Maudie in Spokane. My news was in response to an email to Sandi. We had sorta lost touch. Cyndi and Dave have moved back to the farm to enable Maudie to stay in the home she so loves. Her health continues to improve and she is keeping up her therapy. Sandi thought the picture collection was a really good idea. She didn't think there was going to be a great one on either Thanksgiving or Christmas but several small ones and she would be sure to have pictures taken and emailed for the Family Collection.
I also heard from Leslie King today. She's my old neighbor in Springfield. We visited a long time. Chase will be with her for Thanksgiving but Sam is working and Jeff is in Ft. Polk, LA She has seven grandchildren of which I'm envious.

E-Mail from Brother Joe
Sue asked me to post this e-mail from Brother Joe:
"FROM YOUR BLOG ENTRY: 'Pete said they (Pete and Janet) had already talked to Brother Joe. Pete also said he got him out of bed. He wasn't sure but thought perhaps Joe had forgotten to set his clocks back or had set them the wrong way. Which was it, Joe?'
Some of our clocks have been set back an hour, some are supposed to be automatic. I just look and see if it is dark outside in the morning, then decide which clock to go by!
Sometimes I hear and understand Pete better than other times. My hearing aids are not a lot of help on the phone unless I use the hands free car phone.
Sue, good luck on your return trip for more tests at BJ. We definitely will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Bro Joe

Going Back to Barnes
I think it looks like a cold day again today. I played Bingo yesterday afternoon after Rose's visit. I didn't win a round but seemed like I almost did. Isn't that always happens when you gamble? Here a person isn't betting for cash. I had fun and nothing to lose. I will play again Monday evening.
Took a break for breakfast in my room. Then Rose called. I keep busy for someone who doesn't leave the premises. I don't know what I did if I were here without my cell phone and computer. I'm even trying to proofread more accurately during this current
stay at BJEC.
The neurologists at Barnes-Jewish Hospital want me to come back for further testings. They are at their wits' end with me. I feel I've been tested more than a guinea pig. I will go back over there on Tuesday morning and be checked in for even more extensive tests and hopefully this time they can find out what is wrong with me and have a cure. I don't know how long I'll be there or where I'll go afterward. Keep your fingers and say another prayer for me.

Saturday Morning
Saturday morning and this may take a couple hours or even days to post my thoughts. They tease me here about being on the this computer but it is a wonderful past time. I haven't had breakfast yet but have had several cups of coffee. Pete and Janet will call soon but it's earlier in Idaho and I'm up early today. I eat breakfast in my room but lunch and dinner in the dining room.
The therapists are very helpful. One apologized for being off today. Some one else will challenge me. I try to do more each day than I did the day before. The therapists keep a record and I keep trying.
Pete and Janet just called and it's about 30 degrees this morning in Idaho. We talked about our rehabilitations. Janet plays Bingo at the Rehab Center for 30 minutes once a week always hopeful. I'm going to play this afternoon between my physical and occupational therapies. I haven't played since I've been back this time so don't know what I could win.
Pete said they had already talked to Brother Joe. Pete also said he got him out of bed. He wasn't sure but thought perhaps Joe had forgotten to set is clocks back or had set them the wrong way. Which was it, Joe?
Rose has already checked in this morning. She was meeting Jim and Marilyn Smith for breakfast this morning. Jim and Marilyn are old friends who now live outside of Dallas.

JOURNAL ENTRY
Sunshiny but it looks cold out today. Needless to say, I didn't go out to check. I had my physical and occupational therapies earlier in the day, Rose came this afternoon with fresh clothes for the next days. No matter what I say, she comes anyhow. I think she worries about my getting bored and lonely. Something or someone most always distracts me. Last night Chris came for a visit after her visit. This evening I was having dinner with Jack when Sabrina surprised me with her appearance and as soon as I finished eating, we had a long visit. Sabrina and I visited and she is going to have the Abbott family clan for Thanksgiving so says she will get those pictures I want which is just the beginning. I think everyone who works here knows me by name and remembers me.
Other things I do while I'm here is play on this computer. The Family Gazette is practically full time work for me because of the way I type but spell check helps.

GAZETTE
I woke up early this morning and lay in bed thinking about this Family Gazette and the pictures and albums I have at the Lake House. Many of you know of my pictures and albums around the place. Many date back to lost generations. With the coming holidays, there will be many family gatherings and picture taking. I have extra frames and albums and with the current technology, it would be easy to add the current update to the collection. I could probably get someone to develop the pictures. Identifying by email would be simple. Framing would be a cold weather chore I could get help with. I would probably need more frames and might run out of walls but could always use albums.
Brother Joe and his genealogy studies fill in with this photo history. Joe, like most visitors really likes looking at the photos.

Trying it again
I'm just not very smart with computers, but I'm not going to let this get the best of me.
I have invited Margaret and Sabrina - and anyone else who would want to come - to join in a Bingo Game on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 PM here at BJEC. I haven't played in one since this round at BJEC but am going to try again and am inviting anyone who would like to come.
Shirley's arm is broken. She does not need a cast, but it is just very painful. The doctors at the Center for Advanced Medicine are having her keep it in a sling as much as possible and have put her on more pain medication.

It's Wednesday
I'm checking to see if I can post by myself. I thought I could yesterday, but perhaps it was Rose that did that one also. After Goldman and Ding brought me back here from the dentist, I watched TV in the library with Jack for a while before turning in. Right now I'm waiting for physical therapy. I've already had breakfast and occupational therapy. They weighed me this morning. I have gained a couple pounds since I've been in here. It must have been my shoes. The dietician came by and asked me how I liked the food and was I eating well. I replied, "Perhaps too well."
Dentist November 5, 2013
Okay, I've caught on to the new posting method. The dentist found no cavities, just a chip off one tooth that he smoothed off and then he cleaned my teeth. We chatted mostly about our summers this year at the lake and how much we enjoyed them. He gave me a prescription I should fill should I develop any swelling. He and his family have a place not far from ours on the Lake of the Ozarks.
Goldman and Christopher took me to the dentist. After I had finished with my appointment, we had dinner at JJ's in St. Charles

An Update
Sue still cannot get directly onto the "Family Gazette," so she e-mailed me her update to post:
"I'm up early and not much news since last post, but wanted to add a thank you to Brother Joe for his news. Perhaps with the Museum being closed until May and my getting out of here, we can get together. Meanwhile, Joe, you could send some pictures (and so could the rest of you). Those were good ones of the guys weekend and the Idaho crew. Some day people are going to look at them and wonder who are they. Some we already do.

It's too early to see out the window to what the weather is going to be. I can see the Metro Link go by every few minutes. It's a commuting express between the city and county. Scott and the boys ride it when they go to a Cardinal game on their way back to Louisville. This avoids cost and delay in parking and traffic.
I had dinner with my old friend who has been here in BJEC for six years. He spent the first two years unable to get out of bed and is now walking on his own. The therapy here is very encouraging. He is an inspiration to all of the people here at BJEC. He is is 70 years old, graduated from SLUH and Notre Dame, played football for Notre Dame, and is sure he has some life left in him. We eat in the main dining room where he knows every one and they know him. And now they all know me by name. He would like to take me out to a restaurant. I would probably have to get permission from my doctors. I'm not sure. Perhaps he would also."
News from Brother Joe
Sue received this e-mail from Brother Joe and asked me to post it:
"Sue, just read Rose's latest post to the Blog and sounds like you are batting almost a thousand! Maybe not a 1,000 but better than the St. L. Cardinals.
It has been a different type weekend around here. No museum on Saturday as we will not reopen until May 2014.
Lisa and Jack went to Wichita over the week-end for a meeting Lisa was attending so missed seeing them.
Evil Kinevial aka Dave Felin and I dined Sunday at George's Restaurant. He is in Washington, MO this week on a business trip and returns later in the week.
Worst news we have heard, Lydia broke her arm in four places but did not require surgery. She was practicing hand springs before the game Saturday in Liberty, MO when it happened. Her mom and dad were both there to attend the game. Her mom stayed there and is returning tonight. Her dad had to return Sunday for work Monday.
Saw Brian Madden last Friday or Saturday? He is still cracking those books and staying extra busy.
Pete called Saturday with a cheery report from Idaho Falls.
Hang in there!
Bro Joe"
We are sorry to hear about Lydia's broken arm! Does this injury end her cheer-leading days?

Charley
This is Charley, Shirley's great nephew, the one Sue writes about in her blog post. Charley was a great hit with everyone at BJEC on Saturday.

AN UPDATE
Sue is still in Barnes Jewish Extended Care working hard in therapy to regain her strength and balance. She has her computer but has difficulty signing onto the Family Gazette. This afternoon she emailed me this update for posting:
"The Idaho Felins celebrated Nancy's 54th birthday Saturday evening. We posted her picture and am now wishing her a belated Happy Birthday and many more. I am Nancy's Godmother and lived in Idaho Falls with Pete and Janet the year Nancy was born. I knew a person could get a driver's license at the age of 15 in Idaho. I had turned 15 that year and was eager to drive. Pete taught me to drive. His main teaching was 'keep it between the ditches'. I still managed to follow his rule over my driving days.
Thank you, Goldman, for the pictures and update about the guys' weekend. Back here in St. Louis, Shirley's nephew and niece and great nephew, Michael. Leslie and Charley, visited from Memphis. Rose and Shirley brought Charley over here to see me, and he sure made a hit. He's 17 months old, a sturdy little guy, and cute as could be.
Shelly came over to see me Saturday afternoon. She had to work, but it's not far from BJEC. Scott stopped on his route back to Louisville Sunday afternoon, and Chris was here on one of his routes today. Rose is here at least once daily. We are starting to plan out Thanksgiving Dinner. I have a dental appointment tomorrow which I dread. But the physical and occupational therapies today I much enjoyed."

Guy's Weekend
we had a great time at this year's guy's weekend. We did our usual overeating along with playing lots of cards and fishing some. This year's participants were Scott, Ding, Doug, Maddog, Deerington, Kenny. Dave Smith., Groves and me.

Mary Pauline Felin
Mary Pauline's guardian called on Friday to report that she had come through the surgery and was recovering.
SORRY
The way to get on to post was completely different today, and it seems easier. I was sure the Cards were going to win last night, and they did it the hard way. Rose down the hall wondered what happened to me, and I'm sure my men friends missed me also. I decided to watch the game here in my room rather than with one of them. I am looking forward to tonight's game.

World Series
I'm back to myself today after a day and night of mostly eat and sleep. That really helped. The whole dining room yelled my name when I went down for dinner last night, I was invited by my former roommate to watch the game this evening and also by my two men friends to go downstairs to a different place to watch the outcome. I decided to just stay in my room and watch us win by myself. (I hope I'm right. Right now we're leading,)
Sis brought me and my former roommate Starbucks coffee and spent a long afternoon with me. A therapist started an evaluation on me asking me a lot of questions and testing my strength. I slept through Pete's call. First time I've ever done that. Ding was here for a while. Brayden's soccer team lost their game but only lost by 5 and lost by 9 last time they played these guys. I think he said they are getting better. He did loose the Student Council President Election but was probably relieved since he won't have to deliver any more speeches.
Linda has been such a great friend and companion. She and her husband, Joe, are also great Cardinal fans and Rose and I both agreed she should they should watch the game together I'm sure they are doing so. Again, I'm pretty sure Rose and Shirley are probably watching the game and play Scrabble. The Abbotts are probably gathered in a huddle and now we're ahead. Margaret's dog is even named after the hindcatcher. Brayden, should I call him catcher instead of hindcatcher like home run with the bases loaded instead of grandslam? Maybe I should ask Yadier?

APOLOGY
I'm back at BJEC after another trip out here this time in an ambulance instead of the Company car - an EMT Abbott Ambulance. I owe lots of people apologies and this is my apology post. I know people love me and I love lots of people. The doctors keep searching for a physical cause for many of my problems. I made a separate entry but couldn't get it to post after I saved it so I may repeat myself here.

Adding Some Facts
I'm hoping the Cardinals perform much better tonight than they did last night. Linda just left and is planning on getting home in time to watch the whole game with her husband while Joe finishes a game of tennis. I'm sure Rose and Shirley are watching the game and playing scrabble. I think Shelly had to work and Chris has already stopped by.
When I saw a group of doctors yesterday morning and they were discussing and working toward a diagnosis, they asked ME what I thought it could be when I believe that I'm a happy person. Then why do I sometimes cry for no reason? I know that people love me. Then why do I feel unwanted when I know most everyone does? I feel left out when I'm not left out. During one of my 'homeless' feeling periods last week, Chris hugged me and said 'Mama,you,ll always a home with me', Rose and Shirley and Scott and family, too. Linda had the recipes decided upon for our trip to the lake .
This morning, after a very restless night of thinking these things over, I decided perhaps I should just list and concentrate on physical problems. I'll get lots of physical and occupational there so the therapists already know I need to work on.

Back at Barnes
I'm home now or rather back at Barnes- Jewish. I awoke yesterday morning to a 'room full of doctors' - not a flattering place to be. I'm on a first name basis with a lot of the personnel here and I'm sure they're as tired of seeing me as I am being here.
Chris and I came back from Louisville Sunday evening after a delightful weekend with Scott and family. Something happened to me on the way home and Chris took a stop by the Emergency Room. They didn't keep me then but they did keep me on Monday. Rose brought me because Chris still had my insurance card and he met us there. I'm here now and have been acting weird lately. 'I didn't want to go there, I didn't wanna do it, but I did.'
Linda and I were scheduled to go to the lake on but she is here with me now and was here yesterday. too. Sis and Chris have been in and out. I've talked to both Pete and Donald and briefly to Margaret. Mad Dog went over yesterday while they delivered the washer and dryer. He had also done any laundry that needed doing. Now that I have these new appliances, there's no dirty laundry awaiting.

A QUICK UPDATE
Sue had a setback on Sunday and by Monday evening was back in Barnes Jewish Emergency Room. From there around midnight she was admitted to the hospital. She is undergoing lots of tests. We don't know much yet but will post here when we do.
Another bad piece of news: Art Jaske, the state-appointed guardian for Pauline Austin (nee' Felin) called to let me know Pauline fell last night and broke her hip. She will have surgery tomorrow. For those who don't know, Pauline is the only surviving offspring off Louis Felin, brother to my father. She is in an extended care facility in Great Bend, Kansas, and has been for three years now. If you want to read more about Pauline and where she fits in our extended family, type her name in the search window for this blog. We have posted news about Pauline on several occasions.

Rose's Coming Birthday
I'm back n St. Louis and don't have much time this morning because I have the physical therapist, the occupational nurse, and home nurse coming today and will get lots of rest in between. Wednesday is Rose's birthday. I won't say which one for those of those who don't know. Linda and I are going to the lake tomorrow morning and will stay until Friday so I can't celebrate her birthday until my return but I will do that. I hope she doesn't proofread this for me which she sometimes does.
I'm sorry I didn't get to have brunch with Margaret while I was in Louisville. I haven't seen her for quite some time.

GO Cardinals
Sis got my email figured out what I was doing wrong. I put a comma in where I should have put in a period when I was signing in. Since I had my cataract surgery my eyes haven't been right and I still see double a lot so mostly I just don't wear my glasses and shut one eye to watch television. The eye specialist the cataract surgeon referred me to is booked up until November 18 so when I went the neurosurgeon yesterday he suggested that perhaps I should try someone else because it is frustrating and irritating. I will maybe ask him for a referral.
The neurosurgeon yesterday was pleased with my progress. I had a CAT scan which measured the drainage through from the shunt. There's a lump on my head and he adjusted the drain through this magnet slightly. They will send me an official report later and I'm not supposed to have to go back for three months unless I have unexpected problems. He said just get lots of rest and therapy.
Chris and I came over to Louisville last night. We saw the last part of the Cardinal winner but listened to it which enhanced the ride. Brayden has a soccer game today which Uncle Ding and I came all the way over here to watch. It's cold and and rainy here and they're telling me I may have to stay in the car even though I brought my wheelchair it will still be too far and cold. I think maybe it will warm up. With both my sons and both grandsons, surely they can push me over rough ground for a front row seat.
Brayden is running for student council president. He has been on the student council for three years. I told him last night that I didn't know that and he insisted that I did but I just forgot. Aunt Rose agreed with him. I am forgetful.
It's Saturday and Brother Pete called. With the time change, I was awake but couldn't find my phone so Ding got it for me and I called him back. Joe was either walking the dog or sleeping. Things were good in Idaho. I've also talked to Sis. I'm trying to get lots of rest per the doctors' orders.
I'll try to get everyone to take pictures so we can post them. So far, no luck. Scott and Beth made bacon and waffles and scrambled eggs for breakfast. I did have coffee but I'm not sure if anyone else likes it. Someone made it for me.

In Lieu of AOL
For some reason, I can't get on AOL to write to people or receive mail so I'll communicate by blogger as usual anyway. Ding and I are are heading to Louisville after Rose takes me to my first checkup the neurosurgeon this afternoon. I'm not sure how to to spell his name but I really like him and am eager to see if he agrees with me that that I am progressing. Rose has yet to meet him and is also eager for the appointment.
The occupational therapist came yesterday for her first visit and will come back on Monday morning. Her name is Cynthia and she mostly assessed me and what I need and what I want to accomplish. I think both the physical and occupational therapists will see me when I'm at the lake too. Cynthia said they would be contacting me down there as will the physical therapist here.
Chris and I went to dinner last night and he took me to Target. I've been wanting some Dr. Scholl shoes and Google said they have them but they only had the inserts. I did buy some more picture frames for the lake house but I'm about to run out of wall space.
Linda and I are going to the lake Tuesday morning. I'm sure the leaves across the cove have turned. Mad Dog has contacted the company to winterize the boat and Doug will winterize the wave runner guys' weekend. Guys' weekend is November 1 and I'm not invited.

Haircut
No Cardinal game today and it was disappointing that they lost yesterday but we have tomorrow to look forward to. Sis took the Company Car to get it ready for Chris and me to take to Louisville this weekend but I didn't leave the premises yesterday. Shirley does the grocery shopping at Whole Foods on Wednesday mornings and Rose gets whatever else we need at Schnuck's when we run out. I don't do much.
When I was back at BJEC, I made some new friends and lots of the people there remembered me. One of the therapists, Michelle, was especially attentive and I opened my computer yesterday morning to write to her and had a message from her. I responded immediately. Same thing happened with Kay Berry. my old neighbor from the lake and I also heard from Kay's daughter, Jennifer. Our hairdresser, Stephanie, who made the house call and I was in dire need of a haircut though Sis though manage to make me look presentable for a short period, Stephanie is a professional and I appreciate both of them and feel more light headed now after the pro visit.
Chris and I are going to Home Depot this evening to look at washer and dryers and then out to dinner. Shelly has to work. We' going to Louisville tomorrow right after he gets off work to watch Brayden play soccer Saturday and whatever else sport the boys might be doing. I'm wondering if Beth is nervous about her mother in law coming to visit and spend the night. Don't be, Beth, I'm harmless.

Sue and Stephanie
Mizzou and Central Students
Brothers Alex and Brett Smith with their cousin Connor Abbott. All three are students, Alex and Connor at Missouri U in Columbia, Brett at Central Missouri U at Warrensburg
Urban Eats
I'm the first one up this morning and don't have a lot of news to post but seems I have been keeping other people busy the last several days. Rose and I met Sabrina and Bret for brunch on Sunday at a place called Urban Eats where Rose's guitar teacher was playing. Rose and I are sure that Sabrina had to bribe Bret to get him to come along with us old ladies, We enjoyed his company, though he didn't say much mostly on his phone.
Yesterday morning the representative from BJC Home Care Services came and will set up therapy sessions for me. I go back to the brain surgeon on Friday. Meanwhile I'm doing 20 minutes a morning on the exercycle and what ever else I can. I am better since the shunt and can definitely feel the difference.
Yesterday afternoon, Shelly took me for a pedicure. She didn't even get one herself but was in the neighborhood and I had an ingrown toenail. After the pedicure, we met Chris for dinner at Red Lobster.
Shirley and Rose were quite upset when the Cardinals lost last night but 'it's not over yet'. There's still tonight. I think I hear someone stirring upstairs and looks like it's raining outside this morning.

Roses
I'm home now and glad to be here. They took good care of me at BJEC but nothing comparable to Rose and Shirley. Pete and Janet called yesterday morning with their weekly call so I knew it was Saturday. They inquired about my watching the 13 inning Cardinal game the night before. Needless to say, I didn't make it. My room mate whose name was Rose did watch the whole thing. So did Rose and Shirley. Yesterday's game wasn't nearly so exciting, even though we won. All of St. Louis has baseball fever.
When Rose picked me up yesterday and brought Starbucks Coffee for me and my room mate, whose name was also Rose, my nurse was in the room, also named Rose, Sis said it was the first time she had been with two other Roses. I guess I was a thorn among Roses.

I wasn't going to update today because I didn't have any really good news to tell, but Beth just now called me with the word that she begins her new job on Monday teaching kindergarten and first grade in Jefferson County. She had her interview this afternoon and they called her less than an hour after she got home to tell her she was hired. She was ecstatic. I told her not to teach the kids any bad words, but I really don't think she knows any.
I heard from Ron and Georgia Reinhardt today. Some of you will remember that Brick and I used to work with Ron, and Ron replaced Brick as Accounting Manager. GM retirees no longer get a discount on appliances since GM sold Frigidare. They are also looking for a washer/dryer and watching the ads. We vowed to get together soon.
I had my last day of physical and occupational therapy here today. I will continue to have both at home and at the lake.

Friends
I'll start this post though there's really no news. I'm just really anticipating getting out of here. My room mate and I really enjoyed the ballgame last night. Even though we won, she thought they didn't keep score correctly. We both were still happy about the outcome. We both managed to stay awake through all nine innings. I called Scott to see if they were watching the game. He said Beth preferred Soap Operas, and he had been over ruled. I didn't believe him.
I've decided to look at a washer/dryer before buying. Like Mother used to say 'Don't buy a pig in a poke', A Kenmore pair is what I find on line most reasonable and what I need. The one I'm replacing lasted a very long time, and this pair will probably outlast me.
Rose, Chris, several of my therapists, and myself met yesterday to discuss my progress and release. I'm popular around here, but not sure that's a good place to be. As I was getting off the elevator from dinner last night, I met some workers from the third floor that I hadn't seen since this stay. I'm now on the second floor. They weren't aware I was back, and I thought they were confused. I had to show them the scar from the shunt to prove I had been on the second floor and was back. They didn't know what had become of me and were very glad to see me.
Rose will be here shortly with Starbucks for me and my roommate. I haven't had either therapy yet this morning, but have made friends with several therapists. We've vowed to be and stay friends this time after my stay. It's nice to have Kay Berry back and to have made the Orsos friends, plus all my other friends and family.

Good Therapy
I have already told my siblings that I will be released from here on Saturday and still hope to get some intense therapy after that. I need a haircut badly and will get an appointment as soon as I can arrange one,
Had to take a break from updating for a 75 minute therapy session. The therapy here is really great. Scott and Beth and the boys stopped by on their way back to Louisville for a quick visit. They brought me a lovely present that Beth had made but were dreading the long ride back. The boys were more interested in a hamburger stop than a visit with Granny, though they tried not to show it. I assume they got home safely, though I haven't heard.
Rose hasn't been here yet but she's probably on her way. As usual. she'll bring Starbucks for me and my room mate. They call me 'Martha' here at BJEC and Rose called me Sue when there was people in my room the other day. Someone inquired 'Why do you call her Sue when her name is Martha?' Rose explained my early childhood shyness in telling people what the family called me when I went to school.
The washer at the lake house quit this weekend. I believe I've had it since I bought the place and bought it used back then. I may replace the drier, too. It still works but not too well. After Rose arrived with the Starbucks, we spent some time on Kenmore website pricing a washer or a pair and decided it might be a wise decision to replace both. I'm still deciding and shopping and watching for sales.
Rose has come and gone. I have instructions to wear a Cardinal shirt tomorrow from my session this morning. Really, what I'd like and think I've earned is a therapy shirt.

Sitting in my Room
I said I wasn't going to update today because I probably wouldn't have anything to say but the ballgame will be on pretty soon and that's what I'm going to do this afternoon so I'll just make up some stuff. Scott and Beth and family are stopping by on their way back to Louisville. Rose has already been over with a cup of Starbucks but had to go home to practice for her guitar lesson she's having later this afternoon. She's pretty diligent about practicing and very diligent about my daily Starbucks.
People all around this facility knew about the wedding. Even one of the doctors inquired about it. My name isn't on the door but that's because everyone here knows me. It's room 217. My only complaint about this place is that they change sheets more often than a person is allowed to shower. I have complained, but so far it hasn't helped.
I just found out I won't have physical therapy today. Lots of people don't like PT but I do, and I'm disappointed. The occupational therapist told me yesterday I was through with that but came in today for me to do. I'm not sure what.
Beth and Scott and the boys haven't stopped by yet. I believe they have another day off tomorrow so can rest up from the beautiful occasion.
I'm going to call Pete and Donald and Margaret this afternoon. I'm sure they already know how much we missed them.

Third Update on One Occasion
There was something else that I knew but that had slipped my mind. Kay Berry had a heart attack and a double bypass in August 2011. I insisted that I wasn't aware of it but was able to refresh my mind by referring to the posts from 2011 with her name. It popped right up.
The pictures of Rose and Joe and myself are already on the blog and copies will go on the family shelf down there. Too bad that Pete and Donald and Margaret couldn't attend. Joe said he truly enjoyed his Turnbough Tour with Jennifer and Donald. Next time I hope I get to do it with them or at least someone who knows the way. I don't.
I'm not sure I've ever posted three updates in one day before nor had as much news so that may be the reason. Looks like the one who's been checking it the most has been me today. Perhaps other readers have been in church. Rose came over. I talked to Scott. Goldman made sure Rose and Shirley and I got home safely. That was today after we returned yesterday.
I may not post tomorrow just because I may not have anymore to say. I've taken time between my postings and watching the ballgame for my meals and haven't even had a good nap today. Sis thinks I must get bored and I do on occasion but keep busy with my computer and major leagues right now. I'd like to have one of those fancy phones but can't afford it right now. Besides that, I'm not even sure I can do everything this one does.

More of the Wedding Occasion
I spent a long time updating but lost y work. Rose is on her way here to BJEC and maybe can help me find my post. If she can't, and, if I have accidentally deleted my hard work, I'll just do it again. I'll be more careful this time and perhaps repeat myself. If I should do that. I'm sure no one will mind.
It was a lovely ceremony even though it was overcast and we had occasional slight rain, The weather man cooperated long enough for us to have the ceremony on the sun deck. I think the sun did come out for a while after the ceremony though I'm not sure because I stayed inside. Such a lovely occasion celebrated by all even those who weren't able to attend. I believe the bride and groom and maybe others were staying even longer than today. I'm not sure this constitutes their honeymoon or if they plan on another one.
We had lots of young kids there, and they were all well behaved throughout the day. Many of them were in the wedding ceremony - more pictures which Rose and others will be posting. (The 'others' being those that know how.) There were even five-year old triplets, two girls and a boy, who were in the wedding!
Mad Dog, or "Care Taker" as the group has begun calling him, had the house looking spiffy. I'm sure it will also be back in the same shape when the newly weds have to depart. The food was out of this world, and there was three different kinds of wedding cake. I know Beth had a lot of help but took much on herself. Needless to say, none of the help was from me. I'm sorry I couldn't!
I have old pictures posted all over the lake house. Todd, Kay Berry's son, spent quite a bit of time scanning the walls trying to find one of himself. I don't believe he ever did find one on the walls, but there is a box of pictures in my closet down there that I' sure has several of him in it. Mad Dog has recently rearranged the wall frames. I'll get someone to help me frame more photos, including one of Todd, and hand even more.
I've already had breakfast, lunch, and physical therapy today. The occupational therapist came in my room and said I probably don't need that any more. I did best at physical therapy that I've done since the shunt. The therapist asked me if I had kids. I replied 'No, I have middle-aged men.'
Kay Berry has such a wonderful sense of humor. She and the wonderful occasion of the wedding cheered me up and made me hopeful again yesterday. This has been a particularly rough patch.

SCOTT AND BETH'S WEDDING
I'll start this post but it may take me a while. Thanks, Rose, for the pictures you've already posted and I'm sure there will be lots more. It was a beautiful ceremony day and gathering even though the weather didn't cooperate. I don't believe my little house had had so many people in it at one time. Even amidst the rain, the weather cooperated and they were able to have the ceremony outside.
Beth has a lovely family and I'm sure we'll post more pictures of the day as the others get them to us. I myself saw people I hadn't seen in years, and we made vows to keep in touch. Kay Berry and her sons, Todd and Tommy, showed up which made it an extra special day. Again, we pledged to return being best friends. She used to live next door at the lake house. Brother Joe was also there. Like Rose, Shirley, and me, he had to leave fairly early for the drive home.

Reselling Electronic Gear
Gazelle.com buys older electronic gear and makes it super easy. I have sold them all my older model iPhones for more money than the new version costs. And Gazelle sends a shipping label and box if you need one. Hint: If you keep all the original wrappings, the value of your device is higher. Right now, I am considering selling my iPhone 5 and getting the newer iPhone 5S.

En Route to the Wedding
Had a bit of set back at BJEC but things are okay now. I had to come back to big Barnes for a couple days for an adjustment on the shunt but should get back to regular place tomorrow in time for my haircut Friday morning. My hairdresser will come to BJEC and Rose and Shirley will pick me up there and we'll leave for the lake then. My symptoms were fluctuating blood pressure and some pain at one of the 'holes in my head'. The doctor believes some medication will relieve both. I'm here at big Barnes but return to the other place tomorrow.
Joe met up with Donald and Vita and Jennifer in Marshfield yesterday. They did a tour of the place and Joe had heard there had been some vandalism of the cemeteries. He sent me an email to see if I had any old pictures of the place for our ancestry collection or information about this crime. I'll let Rose post this and would like any data any other might have. I'm sure he sent this email around. I just don't know how to add it and I'm sure she does.
Scott and Beth and the boys are right now en route from Louisville. They are going to drop Jalen by our house because he has a paper to write. He will go down with us or whoever leaves first. Brayden is going to down with them. They'll go near here but past visiting hours. Chris spent a lot of the afternoon and Rose was here this evening.
