As I'm sure you all know, mom doesn't sit still very often. She's up every morning at what I like to call "the butt crack of dawn" to exercise. So after a week of being in the hospital and in bed, she was craving some exercise. This morning she walked a mile on the treadmill while we carefully monitored her heart rate. Dad figured she would walk a quarter of a mile or so, but mom quickly reminded him that when she is on the treadmill she only stops at full mile intervals. While she wasn't going the pace she would have liked to have been going she still did it. I mean... it was a mile further than I went today - I just watched ;)
Today was actually a gorgeous day in Natty B. Mom had several visitors (as she has every day) and we were able to sit outside and enjoy the great weather while visiting.
Also, mom came home to find two swans on the lake. One of which is ginormous! We are hoping they'll still around for Karla's wedding in May.

ReplyDeleteditto to Lynn's comment. As I read that, I thought "awe, it's Karla and Jason" :) Ya'll are meant to be. Or maybe it's Danny and Kathy...two of God's creatures to comfort the two love birds! Just in time for Valentine's Day. So glad to hear that Kathy is feeling better and that she was able to do some exercise. Hoorah! She is an inspiration. I need her here to be my physical trainer/nazi! :) Kisses, hugs and prayers to you all
ReplyDeleteGlad that Kathy is at home now. You all are in our thoughts & prayers. I will put your family on our prayer list at church. Please let me know if there is anything we can do.
