I'm recovering.... still

I'm at home recovering. I am able to dress myself, make my meals and keep things reasonably neat. Yesterday the physical therapist came by and motivated me to get outside, away from the tv. We walked along the sidewalk out front of the house for oabout 100 yards without stopping. I can go further and will today. If I can go a few yards further each day pretty soon I'll be jogging around the block.
Meanwhile, the cats are settling gown to the new routine. Tigger sits on the arm of my chair whilst I watch the electric TV. Budda sleeps at the foot of my bed assuring himself that I am still here. I think he suffered the most from separation anxiety. He checks on me several times each night by licking my face with his sandpaper tongue.
Deb and husband Rick came down on Sunday to help with some grocery shopping and a few chores. Deb stood outside the bathroom door while I took my first shower. I didn't need any help. I'm clean again!
Deb calls on the telephone once a day to make certain I'm still here and Homeland Security designees Laura and Jonnie stop by at the end of the day to see if I need anything. The Girl Scout cookies were delicious.
Sonex builder Russ Clifford stopped by for a chat about my incident and his building progress. Good company.
Everything considered, I'm doing really well. The Sundown Symptom is gone for good (I hope).
My greatest concern is the upcoming election for which the Repubs have been removing potentially Demo voters from the registration roles using illegal caging techniques. After 16 years of voting from the dame address, both Deb and husband Rick have been removed from the voter rolls. They didn't find out about it until they tried to vote. It was too late. As great as this country is, we couldn't stand another 4 years of the malicious destruction of our Constitution.
