Reunited

We've been reunited and it feels so good!

It turns out that he did panic while we were gone...

We've been told that he might have wanted to make tea, and that we'll need to replace our baking soda and paprika, among other things. Even while we've been home he got into a sack of potatoes and a bag of rice. He's used to being with us if we're home. So, when we took a nap and left the gate up, we obviously were not thinking about the pup who loves people. He's much like his owner in that way...

They checked us out of the hospital late in the morning. I'm so thrilled to be in normal clothes. And while my headache has never taken a leave of absence, we're relieved that we know the cause and that we're out of danger. 

It's good to be home!

Hospital Time

We've been doing a lot of this,

The patient, loyal husband sticking by and studying, too :)

 this,

 and this during the past few days.

Thank you for the prayers and well wishes! 

I am so fortunate to have so many caring and loving people in my life. 

Long story short- I have a arterial disection and I'm on blood-thinners to prevent a blood clot from traveling from my neck up to my brain and to keep any more clots from forming. I'm stable and still have a horrible headache, but we're in good hands.

Here's an image Jim shared with me to help me visualize it!

Not sure when we can leave the hospital yet. They are continuing to monitor my levels.

Thank you to those who have stopped by (Willem, Mom!, Vicki, Wanda, Margaret, and Dave) and to those who have been praying and thinking about me! It's been so nice to see and catch up with people through texts, phone calls, skype calls, emails, and visits. 

Jim's been wonderful and by my side through it all. My sister sent me this picture today and it makes me smile every time. I miss my Leifster...

I'll be home before he knows it.
