Alesa continues to get better and better. The doctor put her on a soft solid diet this morning and said she may be able to go home tomorrow. She is unhooked from everything now and is roaming the halls. She is making a point to rest and not overdo it.
Trip Log
January 20, 2017
Alesa is doing well today. We walked around the floor quite a bit and she is pretty much down to the pain of the surgery. The doctor put her on a liquid diet tonight which is a welcome improvement from only ice chips. Don't know yet when she will be released but we hope it is soon.

Alesa had a tough night last night but did better today. She was able to walk up and down the hallway. But the recovery is a little tougher than she expected. The sunsets are from in front of our house the other night.

Alesa had her surgery today for her diverticulitis. It was planned as a 'keyhole' surgery but the surgeon had to 'hand assist' at the end, so we don't know how large the incision is.

Craig & Janet and Pat & Tracy came up on Saturday and we played a few hours of pickleball after I got home from the Erie club board meeting. After recuperating we had a dinner of pot pies and shepard's pie which Alesa prepared. Then we watched football.

Tonight was the January Erie Club meeting and it was Horse Racing night. Lost our bet on 3 of the 4 races. We would have won the 4th race but I was talking and the window closed as I got there. Alesa and Cheryl Maloney were jockeys in that race and I was going to bet on them.

Craig and Janet went to the neighborhood New Years eve celebration with me. A neighbor built a ball and lights climb the pole to the ball which lights at midnight. We went down a little before and visited with some neighbors before the show began which went off without a hitch.
