Biblical Rains

Dorothy writes: The weather here has been normal, which is dreary, wet and humid. Just your typical January and February.  We have gotten 2/3 or the normal annual rainfall in less than two months. It’s also warm for winter. Just a light jacket sometimes. I do not like Central Standard Time. Not enough light so that is depressing also. Looking forward to March when the days will be longer and the daily rain will go away. Then my mind will turn toward fun things, such as getting in Koko and going somewhere.

I had open heart surgery and recovered quickly. According to the therapist that came to the house, I was more advanced at one week than most people after several weeks. I was beginning to feel better and then got vertigo. Never had that before and don’t care to have it again. The sense of falling out of your recliner is strange and keeping my hands on the walls to walk around the house is also strange.

We had an extremely quite Christmas because both of our grandsons were sick and neither of us could take the chance of catching something.  That worked out well for a while until Don came down with the “crud”. He felt awful and stayed in bed for two days rarely getting up. Luckily I have felt well and could take care of him through his different illnesses.  I commented to a friend that at least when he was sick, I was well and vice versa. Then our luck changed and I also came down with the “crud”. It lasted four weeks, but we are over that now. I also got an eye infection but that healed quickly.

Don is better and so am I. I have been thinking about traveling again.  We will have to wait until the last of Don’s treatments and see where to go from there. But I am thinking positively.
