Rested most of yesterday but today went out for a long walk.  Counted 4 laps of 450 "steps", so 1800 steps.  Am going back to bed for a while.  :-)

Hi All!  Quick-like before I go back to bed.  Trip home was bumpy but uneventful.  I don't think I've ever ridden in the back seat of my truck so I practiced my back seat driving just to hone the infrequently used skills.   heh heh

Got everything unloaded, made Keith dinner, prepared my little one ounce cups of jello and home-made duck broth, realized my hips were hurting from all the sprints around the football field, and went to bed at 7:30PM.  I think I may be resting today instead of doing laps. 

Otherwise all is well except that I'm really tired.  Thanks for your love, prayers, and support!  Off to bed before I nod off on ya here (again).  I've had to delete my double rows of d's 3 times already…

dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd  ;-)  

Talk to you soon.  Luff & Later, Ruthie

Hi Everybody, 

Surgeon just came by and concurred that Ruthie is a candidate for early discharge tomorrow A.M about 10.   Very cool.   She's done really good.

Just figured out her total steps on her longest walk comes to 1700. That's probably 1700 feet or 575 yards or so.  Pretty good huh?  Wonder how many loops around the park it will take to add up to that.  Gonna be hard to tell since I'll keep losing count.  Everybody stops to talk to everybody there.

The next update will be from Home.

Take care!

Ruthie & Keith

Ruthie in room she is really groggy but has stoodup by the bed once without tripping over all the wires and stuff.  May walk to the door later when ansthesia wars off and she is not dizzy.  Surgeon pleased.  She made it back from lala land and asked if she was a size 10 already.  haha
