Here's hoping and we're coping
Well, the plan is to bring Gilly home tomorrow. He received his walking papers from the doctor today, so the chocolates, fuit, nuts and flowers are on their way to tomorrow's destination as we speak. Thanks Joe, my resident lifter, blogger, and anything else I ask you to be!
There was a steady improvement throughout the day. He walks totally independently now (still looks a bit drunk, but he always was a party animal; he has the t-shirt to prove it). His sentences are becoming more complete. In time, we hope to hear him speculate, theorize with authority and provide answers to all of our questions (even when he doesn't really necessarily know the answer), as he has always done.
Gilly wore his sweatpants all day, but refused to put on a regular shirt. He said if he takes the hospital gown off, they won't believe he's sick. He has finally agreed to don his new fancy shmancy sweatshirt from the Kates and hightail it out of here in the A.M. Here's hoping nothing stands in our way.
My suggestion is to call our home freely as of tomorrow afternoon (houseline, of course), because Gilly loves phone calls, but not after 8:00 P.M. He tires easily now, and I'm kind of crabby in the evenings, if you want to know the truth. Still need some down time when I'm awake.
In terms of visiting, please do, but call first, in case we're out (oh, how I look forward to taking Gilly somehwere different one day soon) or Gilly's not up to it. We won't leave him home on his own at this point, and for now, we're well covered. Tamara will move in on Sunday with Karma the kitten for the week. We're all looking forward to that (more the Tamara part than anything else, but we accept all aspects). It will be amazing to live as the 4 of us again for a spell.
Yaron was lucky today. He goes in for a promising job interview tomorrow. It took no longer than 10 minutes for an offer to come through. We hope it works out well for all concerned. It's a start anyway.
Will continue to add updates as they occur, even when Gilly's on the homefront.
Thanks again for the love and support, and have a good night. Can't wait for tomorrow night when I can take the bundles off of Gilly's side of the bed that I have piled up to make it seem occupied. I won't even mind when he steals the blanket. These Israeli's have thin blood next to us hearty Canadians.
Please be advised that I cannot find the spell check for this blog, so I often have unfnished words, etc. For a teacher, it's really shameful, but you'll all forgive me I'm sure.
