How am I doing?

Well I am still sitting here with my foot elevated. This is taking a long time. Tomorrow it will be three weeks. When I walk I use one crutch to keep pressure off as much as possible.
I called my doctor who told me that it is not unusual for it to take this long.

Hey I never had my Christmas tree up this long. yes I still turn the lights on. I wonder what my neighbours across the street are thinking, hahaha!

Ted and I are going to try taking it down this weekend, it might just be a one day affair.

Sometimes I get a bit frustrated but on the whole my attitude is: "Make the best of the situation!" I was able to finish translating my diary. I am now making corrections. I will need a professional to go over it, but that might not happen. Who would even attempt a job like that? I realize that my English grammar leaves something to be desired!

Depending on the Font I use, it is about 500 pages long.

Even though I read many things in there that I had forgotten and it amazes me how much. There are also many things I remember from my childhood and later years that are not recorded and I would like to either add those at the end, or insert them here and there. I type those in Italics

I was talking to Yvonne about what I have learned from it. I have learned that basically I am the same person. You would say that we mature over the years, not really, we are able to cover up our childish ways. That is why old (er) people when they become less functional, are sometimes hard to deal with. They are unable to "be mature". They also love to talk more about their childhood and their parents.

I received a dozen or so letters from my deceased brothers' wife written by my parents after my brother Dirk and his family immigrated to Canada in the 52's. The sorrow they felt is heart wrenching. All my old(er) sibblings would like copies. Why, they love to go back somehow and rekindle whatever they have lost. I talked to my 80 year old brother in Holland and he spoke very emotionally about our Mother. That is not something a 40 year old would do, or am I wrong?

This is an observation I have made in my life in dealing with old(er) people. I do hope my kids will take kindly to me, hahaha!

Tomorrow I am going to the Hospital for a CT Scan, it is that time again. Last week I had the blood-work done. Next week the 31st (on my Birthday) We get the results from our Oncologist Dr. Harris.

Well this is all my news for the day.
