     This is day 7 of surgery recovery. Average time to heal is 6 weeks. I am impatient to get on with my healthy life. Slow down I tell myself.  Walk on the deck, take naps, ask your friends for help, remember that meals need to include real food not just Ensure and Boost.

     Sunday is great, several folks come to visit and help. My trash is now in the bins, my love of conversations and story telling is satisfied and more fresh baked bread is in the kitchen. I am still having fatigue and pain limits.

     I watch two of my favorite shows, CLARKSON’S FARM and PERNILLE on TV. I am ready to start some new shows.

     I am slowly reading the detective novel, THE FIELDS by Erin Young. It is a long book and I am not sure I am up to reading it all, and yet I keep returning. A friend asks me for recommendations of good short books he can take for traveling.  The long books are too heavy to carry around.
