Another December update

Connie is doing much better and says she can hardly wait to meet with the heart doctor (she had a big word for it but it means the same thing) so maybe he can tell her when she can go back to work. She keeps saying she needs to be stronger but from the looks of things, I think she is getting there. I have been helping her so much. I sit on the counter while she is making herself some lunch (Russ isn't within looking distance when this happens as he doesn't like me on the counters/table). I still supervise every bite but got into some hot cottage cheese the other day and didn't care for it. She gave me some bread to make up for it. I have loved sleeping on her lap in the glider in the living room. She isn't in it very long most days, so I have to take advantage of it when I can. I was locked up in the bathroom the other day so she and a friend could make some cookies. They made four different kinds. My fav is the peanut butter ones. Last night Todd came out with some cookies/candy from Heather and her mom's annual cookie/candy making day. I didn't get to sample any of them, but my time is coming. I also supervise her taking a shower and really scared her one day. She reached for the shower door to open it and when she touched it, her hand started to shake uncontrollably. She was really scared and wondered what was happening to her. Come to find out, I was on the outside trying to get in and pushing on the door - hard - it moved and rattled and I kind of liked the sound. Needless to say, she was not happy with me, but glad it wasn't a problem with her. I am looking forward to Christmas and company on Christmas Eve. I don't know what we are going to have to eat but I heard Connie taking about some new recipes so hopefully I will get to sample them.

December update

It is nice to have Connie back home with us. We really missed her while she was in the cities. I have been keeping close to her and have tripped her a couple of times, but she walks slow when I am around so she must be watching out for me. I have been personally supervising her diet and she is doing very good on it. She is eating whole grain breads, vegetables, chicken and of course turkey. I have sampled just about everything she eats. My favorite is the bread and her Special K with strawberries. She has started walking around with the bowl in her hand rather than leave it on the table for me to get into. They are really good and before she puts the milk on them, the strawberries make a nice toy to push around on the floor. Chance and I have been very busy watching the birds in the feeder. They are so busy with the storms that have been coming. I don't get to sleep in the main part of the house any more. I have to stay in Connie's bathroom all night because I want to sleep close to her and she won't let me walk across her chest. That is ok - it won't be long and she will be well enough for me to sleep with her. I cuddle with her when she is in the glider in the living room and I like that. I have gotten even with her for not letting me sleep with her. I knocked on the bathroom door the other morning about 5 and she thought someone was at her outside bedroom door. She really wasn't happy with me. But she loves me anyway.
