When they got back to the cabin, Camille brought me a bowl of pretzels to go with the glass of water my mother had brought me earlier. Around midnight, I cautiously ate a couple and by this morning I felt pretty normal. I successfully ate breakfast and took it easy. Brett called and reported that his son's foot surgery went well -- two and a half hours, pins and plates everywhere. He cannot move for three weeks and no weight bearing after that for 13 weeks. And I thought I had it bad!
Camille registered for her fall college classes online and then we went to Scotts Flat Lake where we met up with the rest of the family. I walked down to the shore with NO boot!! Woo-hoo! Not very fast and not very graceful, but still...

When we arrived back at the cabin, there was a large family/flock of turkeys in the back yard. Kristin was able to get quite close to them.
I started to feel a bit "off" again before dinner so I just picked at my food and I'm going to take it easy this evening. I'll assess how I'm feeling tomorrow and then decide whether to head home as planned or stay an additional day.
Winston says, "Mom, please come home tomorrow; if you're ok to drive". I miss your kisses. Dad's aren't the same.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling a little better. Love the shot of your Mom and Dad...they are adorable. I'm impressed that you walked without your boot. Glad to hear that Brett's son got through his surgery...long recovery...tomorrow Gary goes to the Doctor. It is going to be months before he can do much. His normal life has come to a screeching halt. Do you have to drive back home?
ReplyDeleteHow awful to be sick on your vacation, and on top of your sore foot too :-(
ReplyDeleteHope it passes quickly so you can get home to the lovely (and obviously lonely) Winston (or should that read Brett?)
Feel better. It stinks getting sick on vacation. Hopefully, you are all mended up by now and with a nearly fixed foot!

ReplyDeleteI'm hoping you will feel good enough to drive home and be with your gang. Being sick on vacation really stinks. Good that you were able to walk without the boot though. Everyone looks like they had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well.
