Home At Last!

Dear Diary,

Finally, what a wonderful feeling to be back in my home!  And today is my beloved grandmothers 127th birthday!  I've used a photograph of her at my wedding back in 1969.  What a dear sweet woman she was.  She was a nurse during the influenza epidemic of 1918-1919 and she was the one who took care of me when I was little whenever a had the sniffles or "tummy troubles" as she called it.

Well, I sure have "tummy troubles" now and I would love to have her here with me bringing me tea and toast!  I will have two more weeks of medication and bed rest and then 5-6 weeks of gathering strength for surgery.  But enough of all that!  Emerson returns to me tomorrow afternoon and I will see my little ones in back so all is right with the world!
