Brief Note

Cowboy here: My wife wanted to post yesterday - day after Halloween - but you can blame me for making her stay in bed. Not that being in bed made a hell of a lot of difference.

The imp's had a setback health wise. Heart issues came up again. All was going well, then she got a stomach bug. Emptying that little stomach took a severe toll. Blood pressure/heart rate were out of whack for close to 24 hours. When that was resolved she ended up having severe back pain. The doc told me to put a heating pad on her back. Too bad he didn't say "backside"-- I could have handled that on the spot.

My bambina was awake close to 40 hours before finally falling asleep. That was last night. Now, 13 hours later, the imp is still asleep. She's in good hands. David is back from the Solomons. Bull is here. All of us rotate a "Sar watch."

Sar was able to enjoy Halloween. I'll let the imp tell you the details but suffice to say she stole a lot of chocolate from the kids, ate enough to satisfy a sweet tooth, probably stashed the rest. I'll have to throw a BBQ for the neighbors in way of apology.

I've told my wife Thanksgiving might be a smaller affair this year. It's a big holiday for us - lots of guests - but I'd rather have her resting than running out of steam preparing a lot of food, getting worn out. I've suggested having it catered or having some of the food catered. Sar will not entertain the idea of going to a restaurant. Somewhere along the line there will be a compromise.

For now she seems to be improving. Appetite is returning which is always a good sign. Since David is here, I suspect her dreams are filled with mischief plans.

A healing thought headed this way would be appreciated.
