A WONDERFUL DAY

So yesterday we met my son and his family at Port Canaveral and spent the day with them at Space Center. As with everything there were good and bad things.
First thing is I spent Monday night sleeping sitting up on the couch in our hotel room. I figured out that my hip gets sore from lying on it in bed. So the first thing in the morning is pain and difficulty getting around. I decided that I had to be in good shape for yesterday so I decided NOT to lie down. It worked and I was perfect yesterday. We met them about 12. It wasn’t the best weather wise but it was ok. Until yesterday we has sun and heat. Yesterday it rained and was cold and windy.
So we went to Kennedy Space Center. I think a lot of it went over their heads.
I found my grandchildren were not that excited to see us. I knew this day would come. My granddaughter barely talked to us and didn’t even react when she saw us. I was lucky to get a hug. The boys were happier but I can certainly see the day when they will have much better things to do than spend time with us. I guess it’s the nature of the being. My son and his girlfriend were happy to see us.
We spent the day touring and trying to keep up with the children who kept running ahead. If only we could bottle their energy!
The upsetting part was that we saw a man having a seizure at one of the exhibits. We were all upset especially my hubby who had just been through it. Not something we wanted the children to experience or remember about the center.
We had supper with them and then took them back to the ship.
My hip is much better this morning. I have been taking ADVIL. I have been quite cranky and upset. I keep thinking about the future. I know I shouldn’t but I can’t help it. I get upset when I think that I will not be able to drive for six months. I just don’t know how I’ll cope with having to ask my hubby to take me everywhere.
Have a good healthy day.
May the sun shine on you and warm you.
Anyhow better go have breakfast and read my book INFIDEL.

glad you had such a good day. since you and your hubby came down in two vehicles and you can’t drive for 6 months, how are you planning to get both vehicles home? maybe tow one? or get someone else to drive it back for you. hopefully, those 6 months will go by fast. take care,

Hope these six months go by quickly for ya. My feelings get so hurt when I get excited to see the grandbabies and they just don’t even seem to see me…especially my almost 7 year old grandson. I know he doesn’t mean to hurt my feelings but I want him to want to see me like I want to see him. I’m sure you understand what I’m trying to say:)

surely you have some pain medication…the main thing is to take that regularly rather than sporadically. Stiffness and pain after laaying still all night is a problem but you do need to get good sleep too. take care. hugs P

Sorry about your pain. I hope you feel better soon.
