Post surgery

When I saw the spelling of the last post, I was apalled! I was really tired and I'll try to edit it.

My great organizing hint: Those white cubes for sb storage they sell at Michael's and Target with the shelves to make 4 sections are great for storing your Sizzix letter boxes. You know, those long ones that hold 26 or so of the sizzlets in those lovely boxes Jeanne hates? I put a cube together, with NO help from dh, I told him I was starting something that he's probably have to finish for me, but I didn't need the help after all. Went together easily and there is enough room for 16 boxes!!! I'd like another plain cube but all I've seen right now is what I have and the corner units and the one the turns around, cute but I just want the plain cube. With the extra tower I got on ebay, that makes 3, all my dies are stored, the Bigz are in the tower vertically with the shelves removed, no room for more!

Nevin is home! Cedars is a wonderful hospital, he got great care, and hopefully that cancer is GONE!!! He has his follow up visit on Tues and the nasty catheter can be removed!!! Icky thing but necessary. I got to meet Tom O'Connor's wife Linda, a lovely person who is a social worker there. I had been out of touch with Tom for a few years, when we reconnected, he had gone back to school, was teaching and got married. If you were at our wedding, he did one of the readings, the "to every season" one, otherwise known as "Turn, turn, turn". My mom and dad, Nev;s mom and dad and brothers were there most of Monday waiting for him to be out of recovery. The operation started hours late and he didn't get in his room until 8pm. I stayed the night with him that night but that couch was hard!! They keep the rooms chilly and they come in all the time to check on their patient. His nurses were very kind to him. His doctor is the best! Hopefully, none of you will ever need his services but if you do... he's good. He used the Da Vinci machine to operate, it was on Gray's Anatomy Thursday, wasn't that a sad one? The food in the cafeteria was good. The hospital even has a Starbucks! I met up with my friend Perin at Jerry's Famous Deli right across the street form the hospital, the pastrami was to die for! And I got to chat with my friend who I don't get to see nearly enough. My hotel was a cute, kind of retro chic right on Beverly so I didn't have the chance to get lost. They were very nice, it is the Beverley Laurel Hotel, I'd stay there again, well I did. I had checked out because Nevin was supposed to be released but then they decided to keep him another day so I had to check back in. This time to another room, mine had already been given away. This one had a shower big enough for 6, no lie. All done in black granite, slate and glass tiles. Really stunning. Just not as much fun with just me. Nev got released late in the day so we caught a lot of traffic coming home. Getting off the freeway was no better, every bump and dip in the road was uncomfortable for him. Great to be home, it is hot here! Picked up from the vet's this morning. He had been there for a week!! As you may know, we are not best of friends, only loves Nev, but he did very well at the vet's and they said he was so friendly and loved to be petted. I asked them if we were talking about the same cat. He came home and was very happy to be here, I think, and looks happy to be with Nevin. He let me pet/hold him when Nev was asleep.

I didn't knit hardly at all and I just couldn't concentrate on my reading for my class. Horribly behind. They didn't have an Internet cafe but they did have WiFi which didn't do me any good since I still haven't got a laptop. My financial aid finally did come through so I guess I can start shopping for one. Any suggestions?

Thanks to all of you who prayed and send good thought for Nevin. Your texts and calls, and e-mails were very much appreciated!
