3/13 to 3/14 Saturday & Sunday
Teri continues her Tai Chi and walks every morning weaving around the house and burning a track in the wood singing along with her ipod. She walks for 20 minutes 3 times a day. She is in high spirits and eating well. Eating so well that she has B running around town picking up high calorie cravings, like cinnamon donuts and veggie pizza from Whole Foods. No, she’s not pregnant but just acts like it. She loves being at home and in remission, and has put the house back into order. She had a great video chat with her Asian Womyn’s book club friends in Columbus. Seeing their faces while talking in real time was wonderful. If anyone else wants to set up a video chat, just let us know and we’ll connect through google chat – it requires a gmail account and video camera.
Today a neighbor Sandy came by to help Teri string all her cards onto ribbons so that she can hang them efficiently on her walls both at the hospital and at home. Sharon, another neighbor brought over a red candle knowing red is a Chinese color of luck and happiness. Erin, 3 doors down ran to Walgreens to pick up some facial cream for Teri. She was tempted to ask Erin in route to pick up a Pot Belly sandwich … but restrained herself, barely. What would Teri do without these kind neighbors? Friends Tony and Wang stopped by to visit and bring fresh-made Chinese noodles – and then went on to visit Dad – double duty.
Mr. Li is adapting very well at the Milwaukee Catholic Home routine and looking like himself again. His pneumonia is clearing up. His walking is improving. His mind is clear. If you would like to call him, his number is 414-220-4610 ext 3361. He would love to hear a familiar voice. Hopefully, he will only be there for two to three weeks. We are taking it one day at a time.
When B was at the club, John his massage therapist pulled him aside and said that he looked dehydrated and colorless. He checklisted his eating, exercise, sleeping, everything was OK, and the weight – the latter was only down 3 lbs. It must be the stress. Please send a make-up kit, ASAP.
