Dick and I are so thankful that you can start putting pieces of life together--outside the hospital. I suggest cleaning the frig, washing a couple of windows and making popcorn. Blessings abound!
I love your last line...."we are blessed so don't waste it". If YOU can feel that, how much more should those of us who are healthy feel blessed. Many prayers for you! I know you will appreciate every single thing when you get home...
