Hopefully, this will last longer than the last time

Hooray, Cheryl's home! (again) Fortunately, this should last longer the last time - she spent a week in the hospital working on improving her strength, and is doing much, much better. She still needs a little help getting around, and the shower could be an adventure, but all in all, this is a vast improvement over last week. Her folks are staying with us for a few days and are being a big help. And she managed to eat a decent dinner of fresh pesto fettucine, too! Her nausea is becoming less and less of a problem (it's still there, but it's manageable).

Big shout out to Apria, the folks who make her milkshake-in-a-bag. These folks have been a tremendous help to us and they have our thanks, big time.

We'll see how she does in the next few days, and hopefully is able to get a shower in the next day or so...she is kinda stinky right now...

I'm really glad to hear Cheryl has improved.
I enjoy your descriptions of what is going on, even if the subject is negative. Hope you can keep the sense of humor going.
We had a cat spend several days in the closet even with house sitters one time. The amazing thing--no mess in the closet. More recently my Scooter was shut into the den, again for several days. She did not manage to turn on the computer and email for help.
