Out of ICU today

We're going to break out of this joint today! Bob is bright eyed and bushy-tailed again. His room will be #8 (same as before) on floor 10K. (I wish the 10K meant the amount of weekly salary we'd get).

I have mixed emotions about leaving the ICU. I'm happy that my t is making progress, but then, I'm scared. I fear because of what happened a few weeks ago when he was on floor 10K; a second stroke and back to the ICU. However, I think he's at a better place health-wise to move out of ICU this time. In my opinion, he needed a few more days of rest before physical therapy and occupational therapy started the last time.

Michele and Dean, helped him put his arm around me while I gave him a hug this morning. He didn't want to let go! Hugging me put a big smile on his face!

Here are a few life lessons that were sent to me:
  • I have learned that love can conquer all, that everything happens for a reason and God puts us where we need to be when we are faced with the reality of daily living.
  • As for life lesson, this is a reminder that life is short, and that we dare not take our health for granted. Also, on the totally positive side for us God-fearing Christians - God is always in control, and this life is but a fleeting moment of preparation for the best to come.
  • I think one should live each day as if it is your last day on earth and not to have any regrets.
