Not bad

Today was a banner day in the eating department and elsewhere. Jen began her morning with a protein smoothy; she consumed (count 'em!) two soft boiled eggs with a piece of toast at lunch, and she had a couple/few bowls of apple sauce (with added Slippery Elm bark powder for fiber) and ate several crackers throughout the day. Then, at dinner she ate a big bowl of--we may as well call it what it is--gruel (not good tasting, not bad, yet oh so satisfying) combined with Mama Griffis' Wonder-Broth. She also went for a one-mile walk (accompanied) and took a shower with her new hose-attached hand-held shower head. She only took one short nap today, which is also a record of sorts. Now, even at the late hour of 11:30 she is still awake and sort-of semi-active. Pain, nausea, and the discomforts of surgery and medication all persist (it's only been ten days), but all in all it's been a pretty good day.

This was despite the fact that Tony's every movement resulted in something crashing to the floor, and his every endeavor ended with his head cradled in his hands.

Good sleep for all tonight!
