Yaaaawwwnnnn.....

Not much to report today, which can fall under the "no news is good news" category. I was at the hospital in the late a.m., until after 3:00, when Dennis Redfield came on, followed (as I understand it) by Willie in the evening.
Trish's regular doctor..... whose name I can't spell right now, but she's a wonderful woman! ... visited, and seemed pleased with T.'s progress.
Trish seemed in pretty good spirits, but the tedium of the hospital stay seems to be wearing on her a tad. At least the new room is sunny and bright, and has a more "spirit-lifting" ambiance.
She's starting to read a little (magazines and such) and was watching a little football on the t.v. today .... but she's still mostly sleeping, that being the most efficient way to pass the time; conversation still being a wearing activity. With the new couch in her room, I even joined her for a short nap.
Still, to briefly break the tedium, Trish and I have been playing our own version of the New Yorker's "caption-the-cartoon" game: I draw a cartoon which I try to draw in a totally "stream-of-consciousness" manner, having no idea for any possible caption, or even what my cartoon means. Then Trish comes up with the caption. She's pretty good. When she decides to add some pictures to this blog, maybe she'll put some up to demonstrate our handiwork.
Sooooooo.... all in all, it was a lazy Saturday. Which is good.
More tomorrow.

Andy, Dennis, and Will! Thank you all for being such a great Trish team. I've driven by St. Johns numerous times in the last week and feel the pull to visit-then remember Trish's request and hold back. Knowing you all are there and being kept up to date by Andy is wonderful.
Please send a big gentle hug to Trish with sassy wishes of wellness and healing from June, Jessica, and Chloe!
