Best day so far

Bob has been very weak since coming home from the hospital. Not only is his hemoglobin low, he has been in bed a lot and not using his muscles. Today has been pretty good, though. He got up for a while and had coffee and a little food. Took a nap. I went to do laundry, fuel the van and take stuff to the dump. He was up when I got home. We had a decent lunch. He really loved the tomato basil soup. (We buy Progresso brand). He talked and talked about how good it was. He ate a few bites of his roast beef sandwich that we bought yesterday. You guessed it, he is napping again. Eating seems to make him sleepy, but he was talking a lot today, so that makes me happy. I even took a half hour nap. Bob did not have to go anywhere today and he was glad of it. Tomorrow he will get a blood draw and will see our primary care for a hospital follow up.

I'm glad he was doing better today and am not surprised that he was tired after talking your ear off. I hope he keeps feeling better and the doctor visit goes well tomorrow. How are you feeling?

You both deserve a low-key easy day, glad that you enjoyed it. I hope that tomorrow isn't too awful, maybe a nice ride there and chat along the way and hopefully that will have him relaxed enough to stay upbeat for yet another rday.

So you even got a nap. Cool. Sleeping is when the body heals.

Being in the hospital can take a long time to bounce back from. I don't know what's wrong, and I hope he can recover, but take each good day as a win. It can take a lot of energy to do a lot of things.

It's good to hear that Bob had a better day Eating and just being up talking is good. Sleeping, helps recharge the batteries He was probably really glad he had not got to go anywhere today. Is it very hot with you just now
