Easter Part 2

This afternoon Bridget and Karma came to visit.  It was a combination Easter and birthday visit.  Bridget's birthday is in a few days.  Since we did not want to have a lot of cake left over we just got a few cookies.  Karma sure liked hers.  The one mistake we did make was giving her a cookie with black icing.  Should have picked the one with more subdued colors.  You can't see it but she actually has a black tongue.

 We gave her a number of small things for Easter including a new dress. 

All in all it was a very nice visit.  I also called my sister Sue in upstate New York.  She said they had to have their Easter egg hunt inside since it was so wet there.  I sure wish we could get some of that here.  It is so dry.  We really need rain.  We will probably make it all up in one day if a hurricane blows through.  Hurricane season is still a few months off so lets not think about that yet.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to all.

While it has been a while since I last posted things are going well here.  Elizabeth seems to have recovered from her infection.  Last week we went to see a new doctor.  This one is a specialist in internal medicine.  He seemed very nice and really took the time to listen to Elizabeth and what she was going through.  Like all doctor's he had some blood samples taken and we will see how things go from there.

I too seem to be doing better.  However my flare up takes a while to settle down.  Things seem to be going good it is just wait and see.  The bad news is my system would not calm down without a little help from my old friend, a dose of steroids.  I was hoping it would not require that since they do damage my bones every time I have to take them.  But is it better than throwing up all the time.

Today I got up and had my first breakfast.  I had a bagel with cream cheese, a banana and a bottle of Ensure.  Then I went for a bike ride.  The main route from Houston to Galveston is Interstate highway 45.  In addition to the main lanes there is an access road on either side of the highway.  I rode the access road part of the way, about 20 miles down and 20 back.  Going down I rode directly into a strong wide.  My average speed for 20 miles was 13 and a half miles per hour.  Coming back with the same wind directly to my back I averaged just over 20.  Once home I had breakfast 2.  This included a scrambled egg, one slice of turkey bacon and toast.  Then I showered and got ready for church.  Like most churches on Easter, it was crowded.  Here is a picture of us dressed for Easter.

Once we got home we had lunch.  I had a light one including a PB and J sandwich some chips and baked cinnamon apples.  Now a quick blog update before an afternoon visit from my daughter Bridget and her daughter Karma.

Elizabeth

For those of you who check here because Elizabeth's blog is no longer accessible, please rest assured she is OK.  We both had some medical problems.  I had a flare up of colitis and she had an infection.  But we are both now on the mend.  For both of us blogging is a relatively low priority and right now there are more important things to occupy our time.  In fact I no longer remember why I restarted this blog.  I had shut it down after my Mom died.  For all the well wishes, thank you.

Live long and prosper.
