Weekend warriors

So normally I have a line up of visitors each day, but as of Thursday night, I didn't have anyone penciled in on Friday or Saturday. But then I got a call from my twin on Friday afternoon (see "Twinning" post if you missed the reference). She was in the area and stopped in for a while and brought me lunch. Must have been that twin intuition people talk about, she knew I needed company ;) She brought me a goodie bag too - which included my favorite - popcorn & bunch a crunch. If you haven't tried this combo - you need to! All of these thoughtful gifts make me feel so special. Again, I have the best friends. 

Then Eva asked to come see me today which was awesome because now I had my visitor line up back :) little did I know that grandma and poppy would come by this morning before heading back home for a little while - they always cheer me up! Then my next surprise was Yoly and my BFF!! Yoly's daughter Alyssa.. She walked in and first thing I noticed were her new starfish earrings, then she gave me a little gift bag which were the matching pair. Love my BFF :) 

                                 

Last night was an emotional night for me. I miss my husband and it was Friday night- I wanted to be anywhere but here. I had a complete meltdown. I guess thats to be expected after a few weeks in captivity. Woke up still feeling gloomy, so when my specialist came in this morning to tell me the girls look "super" --  I guess he picked up on my saddened demeanor. He asked if I was ok and if I'd been off this floor yet- which I haven't. So he wrote me orders for a 30 minute wheelchair privilege. Yay! So my beautiful visitor/nurse for the day brought me down to the courtyard for a little bit. It was hot out, but so nice to get fresh air. All the nurses were so excited for me, it was pretty funny/pitiful.

Eva - you know - Paula Deen, Martha Stewart, & Mother Teresa - brought me my favorite Yankee Candle scent - Apple Pumpkin plug in!! I'm so excited to have my room smell so much like home. Since I can't light any candles, this plug in is the perfect solution! Also some fall colored nail polish and a beautiful sunflower arrangement to brighten my day...

Finally, I came out of the shower this evening and saw a package on my bed from my brother Billy and his family. Aside from all the thoughtful gifts inside, I loved the handwritten notes from my niece and nephew. They are the sweetest, kindest children. I hope that my husband and I will be 1/2 the parents that my brother and sister in law are. Their children are angels. Again, I have the best family.

Tomorrow my momma & aunt Bobbie will be here again. Should be another great day. 

Someone has hiccups tonight, and its not me :) this ought to make for an interesting monitoring session! Thank you to everyone for lifting my spirits again today. You all save me from insanity. I am SO grateful for you all. Xoxo
