I wish my alternate personality would post something!

I keep coming to my blog and looking at the home page as if eventually a pithy, charming new post will somehow magically appear. I guess the only way that would work is if I had an alternate personality who posts when I’m not looking. I wish! I suppose that what it really comes down to is that I’m lonely and want some fellowship but I haven’t got the brain cells to write anything to inspire online conversation.

Husband is still in the hospital. We’re moving into week 14 with many more ahead…more dialysis, more physical therapy, more respiratory therapy, more heart monitoring. He was moved out of the ICU to a long-term acute care (LTAC) hospital about a month ago. We like the nursing staff and the environment here is less sterile than a normal hospital. It has warm colors, nice lighting, wood-look vinyl flooring, and a nice sofa/bed in the room. I’ve also been able to hang in his room some of his favorite artwork from home along with family photos and get well cards. But its still not home.

I started a summer school course last week. Even though I’m at the hospital both before and after class each weekday, its so nice to be doing something social that makes me think about something other than hospital stuff. I’m taking “Techniques in Counseling.” Since much of the class will be taken up with actually practicing techniques on each other its a real joy to be in class with many gals who I know from other classes. Anyone got any suggestions of scenarios I can use on my classmates?

I’ve actually got several new posts half written. Eventually I’ll get them done and hopefully inspire some conversation. In the meantime, have a great week!
