Linda's getting a little stronger every day, saying she feels less like a Texaco oil truck is sitting on her chest and more like a Volkswagen bug. Her bruises are starting to dissipate on her arm, leg and neck, but she still has some bruising to heal on her chest. She is working diligently on her breathing with the spirometer, and is getting the little indicator higher than ever. We go on little walks to get her the exercise she needs for rebuilding her lungs as well as her stamina. She is certainly not bed-ridden, as we have gone on a couple of excursions and even been out to eat a few times. These activities, however, can be exhausting and are therefore usually followed by a brief nap at home. The good news: she is certainly catching up on movies missed at the theater, thanks to the marvelous invention of the instantly gratifying "on demand" channel!
P.S. Thank you to Nancy and Mike for the delicious banana bunt cake, as well as for the fun visit (and Ruby, too!).
