I flew home last Thursday. The people at the airport could not have been nicer. They put me in a wheelchair and pushed me right through security with no problem.

I was very nervous about flying, but there was no reason to be. The flight was smooth from take-off to touch-down. Thank you, pilots!
Since arriving home, I am doing mostly the same things I was doing in New York:
Walking
Resting
Reading
Eating
Walking
Reading
Resting
EatingAnd so forth.
Yes, I know this sounds a little boring - and honestly, it IS a little boring - but this is what my body needs to get better. As my doctor explained, it's like I have a broken bone right in the middle of my chest where they had to cut me open to work on my heart. They can't put a cast on it, like they would if I had broken my arm or my leg, so I just have to take it easy until it heals.
As you can imagine, sitting still is NOT the easiest thing for me to do, so if you have any ideas for things I could do while I am getting better, definitely let me know!
What books are you reading these days? What are you doing in school? I know you have a few field trips planned before the end of the year. I hope you are continuing to do good work in the classroom so you can go enjoy your well-earned field trips!!

I hope you all are well.
All the best,
Ms. Lucas (Sandy :-)
Hello, Sandy is right, I do miss being in touch with you all. It is hard to be in Indiana as Sandy continues to heal in Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteOur yard is GLAD we are here, the weeds had just about taken up permanent residence. I have made some headway, but Jim says I am just pulling up the same weeds each morning....he may be right.
We are both so glad for Sandy's resting and reading and eating and walking so as to allow her body to recover. I hope there is lots of sunshine in Minnesota, so that Sandy can sit and soak in it as she heals.
Good wishes to you all. Jo Lucas
