Let the house stay messy for a while. Unless of course all of this help hanging around knows where everything goes so you can find it again when you go looking for it. :)

Take care, and get up and around when you feel like it.

First, be sure to check the other thread where some of us had already left Welcome Home wishes!!! Don't want you to miss a single one!!

AND SECOND..........

Belay all that crap about lounging in bed. Now is not the time to lounge about in bed.....and you know that! Get out and walk as per schedule and return to some very light home duties. When you sit, keep your feet elevated. You'll get plenty of rest but if it's not rest time, get up and do something like spend 15 minutes with every animal in the house (this can of course include Roger or not). Extend your walking time a bit every day. After a few days, get out on some short trips for shopping or whatever. Schedule a meal at your favorite restaurant with Rog and Rue for two weeks from today and be sure you go. During the first few days, think about the things you want to do daily in normal life and then start by adding some of that in every day over the next month.

That's how you get well and feel better.......not by lounging in bed!

And ya' know I luvya' or I wouldn't say it!!!

Kat, you are blessed with those good friends.

Still sending good thoughts and prayers.

For the momement, please know there is never going to be anyway to express enough gratitude for all of you and your help. I had no idea the amount courage one would need to go through this. The best word to sum it all up is GRATEFULL.

More later, after some more rest, and YES, Spawdarlin'...Peach O'My Heart...walking, too!:-) (What a psychological concept...FEELING like going for a walk, instead of completetly tired at the thought, alone!)

luvya'll and thanks to everyone, esp. Rue, Rog, Spaw, Alba, and my sister, bet!

You may not remember me, Kat, but after several months of not even looking into Mudcat, I took a few minutes and look in to see what's going on only to discover that you have been off in the hospital!

The good news, of course, is that you're back And there was more. It was good to see lots of familiar names, people whose posts I have enjoyed, a couple I have met and more with whom I have written back and forth, wishing you well

Morticia, Liz the Squeak, Catspaw, Sinsull, WYSIWYG

Dave Swan and Deckman

BillD...what can I say? I lost your phone number, but you probably wouldn't have been able to understand me through the sobs anyway. What a beautiful and precious *heart* you've given me. It feels just perfect and I am so gratefull (there's that word, again!) I cannot think of anything which sums things up any better.:-)

SOURDOUGH!! Let me say a few of those things that kat would were she a bit less tired.

We have certainly missed you here. You drop in briefly every year or so, but many of us miss the times when you were pretty regular (hold the ex-lax jokes) and wove some of the finest tales we have ever had told on the 'Cat. As you noticed, quite a few of us are still around at least some of the time and we hope you have the time to join us occasionally.

Nice and easy Darlin, all shall be well..walk, rest, eat, sleep and you will be completely well before you know it.
(i was only kiddin bout the Boston marathon though so don't go thinking it might be a good idea.. ok!!! although Boston is closer to The Backwoods of Northern Maine than Colorado is so it depends how you view my version of the "boston marathan" Ill pick you up at Logan and bring you right up here...so you may want to think about my version as something that could happen in the future??:>)
