Trip down memory lane

mood: 
silly
I was just sitting here playing on FB, and I could hear KalBot giggling next to me. I finally looked over and he was reading my blog from the days in ICU. I started glancing over when he would laugh, and I started cracking up also. It seems like forever ago that I was playing the trumpet on the vent, listening to constipated cows, watching Kal brain himself on my bedrail, scare the nurses with my laughing fits, and dressing up like an escaped mental patient for PT! ROFL Those were some good times I tell ya! No question that it was some rough going on some days, but oh boy did we have some good laughs in between. I don't think that anyone can deny laughter really is a great medicine. I had a funny thing happen the other day at Build-a-Bear. This little boy of about 3 was trying to get around me, and he said excuse me and just stared at me. I was thinking that he was probably thinking I was a slow moving lady. It wasn't until about an hour later when we were driving home that I realized he was probably staring at my mask! I had totally forgotten that I had one on. :) I think that is a defining moment. It isn't that I am finally used to wearing the silly thing, but it is the fact that I feel so "normal" that it didn't occur to me that I was any different. Now THAT is odd. LOL It has been years now that I have moved around with things stuck to my face, so I am slowly getting used to blending back in with everyone. I guess that I need to do something else to myself to stick out like a sore thumb. I vote for pink hair. I can't get the tattoo or the piercing, but the lungs I got came from a person who had gotten a tattoo in the past year. I guess that will have to count. Sadly I no longer make the horrifying coughing noises to scare the snot out of KalBot, but I do make a new noise. When I do my spirometry, I tend to make an extremely loud, indescribable noise. Tonight as a matter of fact, the noise was so bad, that I could just FEEL KalBot looking at me. I started laughing mid "huff", and I had to look at him with my evil eye. He was laughing and said that he was hoping that I would not notice. LOL Too late! At least MomoCat is no longer scared of the huffing MommyMonster. He used to hiss at the portable spiro machine, and he would run when I started blowing. I guess for fun now I need to get out the PediPaws and chase him around. >:) On another note, I finally got to jog in the neighborhood with KalBot yesterday. We have been walking a couple of days a week, but I was too chicken to run yet. I was sure that I would look like Super Dork trying to job, but it wasn't too bad. We only jogged about half a block, but considering I haven't done that in many years, I consider that a success. I guess that we will hit the track one day this week.
We close on our new house at 10:30 Friday morning. :0) We will probably just get our junk out of GrammyRose's garage for now, and we will wait a week to have the stored items delivered. Spring Break is just a couple of weeks away, so that will give us plenty of time to move stuff. Any budding painters out there? :P BunnyRose wants to live under the sea with Nemo, and BearKal wants dark green forest world. We had to talk him out of metallic gold and silver. I don't really think the nightclub look works for a 13 year old. I am torn between chocolate brown and slate grey for the dining area. I have all these great plans for KalBot and others to do since I can't paint. LOL I can tape, but the fumes are a no-no for me. Dr. B said that it would even matter if I got "green" paint that is formaldehyde free. Fumes are fumes. I guess that I will just be on the other side of the house lining shelves and putting away dishes. :)
