Well, folks have probably forgotten me after my long silence these past few months! My India residence had the absolutely worst WiFi connection so I was seldom able to post.
Besides that, my right shoulder has been insufferably painful and massage did little to relieve the agony. I didn't get to San Francisco before departure so I was without my usual pain medications -the new Federal law states that you must have prescription in hand from your physician - no more phoning in to your pharmacy. I can honestly say that Naprosyn does NOT alleviate that joint pain. My total shoulder replacement is scheduled for November 18th so, thankfully, I should feel better as soon as the day after. My left shoulder was done two years ago. Of course, I will need about three months of physical therapy - and it is my right shoulder so I anticipate things will be a bit more difficult post operatively! I'm trying to practice doing things with my left hand.
I flew from Mumbai to Tampa for a week with Charlene Payton, my dear friend of forty years. I didn't really have jet lag, I don't think, but with her incredible sleep number bed, I made up for five months on that horrible mattress I had in Mumbai. Blissful sleep, wonderful company, and great eating readied me for a week in New Orleans and my fifty year Charity Hospital School of Nursing reunion.
I stayed at the home of my friend of fifty years, Martha Meaux Genin. What a joyful time we all had. There were so many memories, a few tears, lots of laughs, fabulous food.
Finally, I made it to West Sacramento where I got the warmest welcome ever from my sweet granddaughter, Harper, and the granddogs. She does not want me out of her sight now and I am being showered with hugs and kisses - when she isn't saying, "Nana, don't touch me!" She has grown by leaps and bounds and has an incredibly amazing English and Spanish vocabulary for a 2-1/2-year old.
Now that I have really high speed internet, I'll be catching up on India posts and the rest of my world. While this last stay in India was not my best, I do want to go back. I can't end my visits to this "country of my heart" on a bad note.
More to come.......
Glad you are back home safe and sound and now enjoying your sweet granddaughter, Carmen!
