The leaves have finally changed color in our yard.\u00a0 It happened almost over night.\u00a0 Many went dry before they turned, but more have become red, gold, yellow.\u00a0 The colors of fall are as much a part of our landscape as the snowdrops and daffodils are of spring.\u00a0\u00a0 Fall’s color gives us one last Times Square moment from the vegetal world before the emphasis moves to the monochromatic grace and elegance of winter.<\/p>\n
Sounds like Dr. Mary Ellis may visit over Thanksgiving.\u00a0 The Singapore government nixed an earlier visit due to the H1N1 virus.\u00a0 Mary’s had a lot going on over the last four years.\u00a0\u00a0 Working and finishing a dissertation has never been easy; it consumed extra time and holidays.\u00a0 This would be the first Thanksgiving I can recall in a long time that she would be here.\u00a0 It’s always good to have family around during holiseason.<\/p>\n
Kate comes home today.\u00a0 Her primary exercise for the next bit of time will be walking.\u00a0 Yes, she’s up and about.\u00a0 No 100 yard dashes in the near term, but moving is good, real good.\u00a0 She cannot twist, so no Chubby Checker’s music on the CD player.\u00a0 She also has to bend at the waist, no flexing of the back.\u00a0 She will need percocet for a few weeks.<\/p>\n
Fortunately hand work is how Kate spends time while listening to lectures at continuing medical education so she has projects to keep her busy.<\/p>\n
As soon as she’s able (maybe right now), she can also start using the treadmill.\u00a0 5 minutes at first, then more as she heals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
