Hi Beth. Thanks for thinking of Helen. I think she's a bit better today! She has showered, sat at the computer for a few minutes, watched movies, read a book, etc. She doesn't want to eat today, but is drinking her water very religiously! What a good patient she is, plus she has her grandparents here today and I'm working. Grandparents are always more fun!!

I mentioned this to Sandra in an email last night, but I thought it was too cute to keep from telling all of you. Our only working VCR is in Helen's room right now, which has come in very handy for us during this recuperation. She has a little 13" combo tv/vcr. She and my dad started watching "The Pistol" last night, a movie about basketball great Pistol Pete Marovitch (sp?). Well, while dinner was heating up, Mom and I went in and sat on the bed and were watching too. We all four ended up piled in chairs and on the bed, eating our dinner on trays and watching that wonderful movie together! A picture would have been wonderful!!
