This Week's Update [2/15/15] - Brrrr!!!!

[The Weekly Update is an email that was started in the fall of 2010 to keep family and friends informed of my medical condition and has continued as a review of family activities.  Written by Zelma and edited by Steve. Working on adding past issues to the blog.]

Hi All,

It was another busy week.  GJ was finally discharged yesterday and is now home.  Because of the blood clots she had, she will need to take blood-thinning medication for awhile, so it will be monitored as part of her home care.  Jean and John arrived yesterday and will be staying with Mom for the next week or so.   The other big change is being on a low sodium diet.  We, fortunately, got an overview of what that means while she was at St. Ann's (a.k.a. no prepared foods and read all labels), so we have kicked off a cook-from-scratch marathon.  So far we have made bean soup and beef, mushroom, barley soup.  We have some more new recipes to do later in the week.

Steve surprised me with a very sentimental Valentine gift (make from one of our old bike chains) and a box of organic chocolates.  :-)

We are continuing to be punished with very cold and snowy weather. We will be glad when we finally get to ride outside again.  

Miles inside for the week are 66, miles for 2015 are 524, and total miles are 12,778.

Take care,

Zelma
