Getting Better And Not Sleeping! I am tired of not sleeping!!!! It seems that I go to bed and fidget and can't get comfortable. What a big pain that gets to be. I think I slept Sat. about 6 hours and about the same on Sunday and now it is about 2 in the morning and I can't go to sleep. I sometimes take calcium and once in awhile I take melatonin but lately nothing seems to work . I am SICK of it. I haven't blogged because it is hard or was hard for me to use the keys. I finally figured out that it was what was causing the pain in the surgery site. So I stopped doing very much at a time. Now I am doing a lot better, and I go to the nurse practitioner next week to find out just what I can do. I have been really limited as to what I can do with the left hand or it causes pain. Also they want the wires in the heart on the left and on the right to make a scar tissue grove so they will stay in place. Grandpa has really been great with helping me. I have a hard time putting away dishes and sweeping vacuuming mopping and a lot of things. He has done the vacuuming for awhile. I wouldn't get a lot done without him, I'm really grateful. At least I can sleep on my left side now. We saw a great movie, you should all check it out, called August Rush, wonderful music and a really good story. I loved it and so did grandpa. I have enjoyed looking at the blogs so much especially the pictures. I hope to get started on a bed cover made with some blocks that granny Grace gave me a couple of years ago. They will make a great bed cover, however I have to cut a lot and I don't think I can do that yet. Or sew probably:( Maybe after I see Donna on the 5th I will be able to do some. I really want to get started on it soon. Speaking of movies, we caught Penelope the other day and it was great I loved it also. It should be out on video soon I think. I will be soooooo glad to welcome summer, I am so tired of the Winter this year. I has been a real cold wet and snowy one this year, and in April it snowed and we had to cancel church as Cottage Grove where we go had 4 inches. Definitely want it to stop raining also. I want to plant some flowers and some lettuce and herbs and maybe a tomato or two, I'm looking forward to that. Well I think that's all of the news I have. Love you all Grandma

I'm excited for you to be able to do something also. How annoying to not be able to do the simple things you enjoy. I have been knitting like crazy. I really like it. I'm glad you can sleep on your side now. Maybe as your body gets used to the whole thing you will be able to sleep better. I watched a great movie that dad would love, I think I will either bring it and loan it to you or send it. It's about a dog and a little boy. I'm sick of the weather too. we have had a little more sun than they predicted so that has been nice. I miss you! I need to get over to the valley, it just seems like I can't muster up the desire. I love you! tell dad I love him too!
Oh man. That has got to be frustrating to be so limited! You seem to have a good attitude though. I'm glad Grandpa is helping. That is so neat you are going to make a blanket out of some squares Grandma Grace gave you. I'm sure that will be a fun one. I saw both of those movies you mentioned- both are good, I LOVED penelope. Well, I love you and hope you are continuing to get well again!
Snow in April in Oregon! Wow. We had a short blizzard this morning. May 1, and a blizzard. Your projects sound fun and I hope you get to start them soon. I'm glad your blogging again. I love you.
I still can't believe you had your chest open and came home 3 hours later! STRONG WOMAN!!! Absolutely amazing! I LOVE YOU!!!! You will make it thru and soon enough this will all be a past time.
Time to blog again! Love you.
It's so frustrating when you really are tired, but you can't fall asleep. I'll have to go see Penelope. Sounds good. I am excited for your garden. Garden fresh tomatoes with salt sound soooo good. I actually have a very clear memory of sitting with you when I was little at a softball game and you had garden tomatoes and a salt shaker with you. It was your snack. = )
