Today we got up and did our yoga. We went to Border’s. Larry’s foot is hurting him so he stayed in the truck. I didn’t find what I was looking for. I walked around the square and got a latte at Starbucks. Then we drove around looking for Krogers. We eventually found it off of Research Drive. It was one of the big, fancy ones. We got our groceries and then headed home. Got the stuff put away, had a bite to eat and then over to get Gretchen. Then we drove around looking for a Post Office. The one Larry first headed to was closed already, then with the help of ham radio we found the Post Office in Conroe. It was very busy. Gretchen waited in the very long line. I sent mine off via the automated machine in the lobby. Then we headed up to see Darcy. She was laying on the couch in the living room watching T.V.
The Nurse Practitioner came by to scope out a stitch in Darcy’s side that was overlooked at the hospital. Hopefully tomorrow they’ll be able to extract it with a minimum of discomfort. Darcy was able to participate in her program for about two and a half hours. Not bad, because it hurts her to sit for long periods of time.
Darcy had visitors after dinner (other than us). They were customers of hers from The Egg and I where she had waitressed for two weeks before her accident. A lovely family that she had waited on only twice, but they became very fond of her. For Darcy, like many people, it takes an accident to make them stop in their lives long enough to finally take notice of the people they have touched and the things they have accomplished. People are so busy rushing forward through their days that they never really pay attention to the blessings and joy and beauty of their lives. Sadly if we don’t listen to the yield signs, we get the STOP sign! Darcy can’t seem to grasp why these people care enough about her to come and see her. It is sad to me to see her put so little value on herself. I am hoping that during her healing time here that will change for her. We love our Darcy! Larry and I spent quite a bit of time this evening talking with Darcy about the things we've learned about life and sharing with her the "positives".
This was hastily written way past my bedtime so I apologize for any errors! Don't know what I am doing here typing on this thing when I am about to turn into a pumpkin! Good Night!
