We had a busy and yet relaxing weekend, with Dave watching TV in between visits from home nurses, etc. We slept in, relaxed in our jammies, and worked on getting used to being home again. On Sunday, I roasted a turkey and even made acceptable gravy!...a first! I can already tell that TV is not going to cut it for DAve and I...there just isn't anything to watch! I am reading him chapters of the new Grishom book, "Playing for Pizza"...we enjoy it in between physical therapy, etc.
Believe it or not, a person can keep extremely busy just being the personal assistant to a person who has returned home in need of physical therapy, etc. His calendar is quite full!! But he will make allowances for friends!!!
We went for a long walk today to enjoy the fall weather...I pushed the wheelchair, Dave critiqued my steering skills...I had quite a workout! The Dr. said no need to restrict diet right now, so believe it or not, we are having Pizza tonite!!!
All is well, we are forging ahead, and Dave says Hi to all.

Hurray!!
I have been reading, but haven't posted. When I heard Dave's voice on the answering machine - I just had to call back! How wonderful he sounded - and ya know - I'm not saying it 'well he sounds OK for someone who had a heart attack' - BUT DANG - it's the same old Dave!!!! Hurray!!!
From one of Dave's co-workers...
First of all, we're all thinking about you and wishing you all of our positive thoughts, Dave, and we all miss you terribly!!
Second, as a victim of a 75 mile daily round trip to work, I've learned to love books on tape/CD to help pass the time. As a fan of historical fiction, two of my favorite authors are Bernard Cornwell and Patrick O'Brien, in that order. Cornwell does some great Napoleonic war stuff following a British soldier, and O'Brien is the guy who wrote the book behind "Master and Commander."
Best (and cheapest) way to get them is from the library. Most places let you reserve them online and tells you when to pick them up.
Hope that grants some relief to the readers and helps Dave in his recovery.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Dave and Mel,
Eric's suggestion seems great! If you want a taste of something different, you can also try finding a CD by Wayne Dyer -he would be "great therapy" as you recover. I listen to him all of the time when I go walking.
Love you both!
Melanie
