Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone!! I told Larry I was taking a picture for the website so I needed a smile!! He just happened to have a hat and a horn on his table next to him. Says a nice nurse brought them in. That's his story and he's sticking to it!!
Sorry for the delay in an update but I got sick for Christmas. I was in bed all day and unable to see Larry. I was on vacation this week and after recovering I did a lot of work at Larry's room, working on getting it ready for his return.
He is anxious to get this surgery over with. He will leave for Boston probably on Wed and have surgery on Thursday. He has been working hard and actually can lift his body up from the wheelchair which is quite a big deal!! He has gained another pound so that is good. That beard is coming in, finally isn't that nasty scratchy stuff anymore!! It makes his face appear fuller than it really is. He talks a lot about what things will be like when he gets home. He already is talking about visiting everyone that sent him cards, he is so amazed by it all!! He is still reading ones he got in Boston that he doesn't remember getting.
His nurse "Deb" today came in while we were there and asked if Larry would like to be woken at midnight!! His reply was "Why not! I haven't got any other plans!" She said she would do that. after all, if she had to be up, she felt the whole floor should be up as well!! Besides, Larry still has cookies in his room and she really likes those cookies!!
Happy New Year All
