Good morning @glinda, do you have a window close by? One of my favorite pastimes is watching out windows to see what ever is provided in frame of the moment. I've always been an early riser and rarely sleep later than 5am. I was reminiscing yesterday about the photo I missed out of my window when I was about to drive into the office for what else – morning coffee with the office techs which is my networking time. Just when I got up and looked out the window along comes mama possum no more than 4 feet from the window. I fumbled trying to get the camera turned on and focused on her and got nada. As slow as she was walking I was even slower trying to take a picture. Well low and behold looking out the Window yesterday afternoon I see her under the bird feeder and I got the camera on and was again fiddling with the focus and she started to meander away. I was able to catch a shot of her plodding through the snow which made me smile. Unlike the nasty woodchuck, I like having a possum around because they are good neighbors:

Hoping you have a great day...

Hi Glinda, Those critters are fun to watch! I like the squirrel's idea of sunbathing on the roof, too. I had a squirrel in my yard this morning, and the snow was deep enough that only his head was sticking out above it. It took me a while to figure out what he was. Sorry, no picture of him 🙂
I want you to know that I am really enjoying the times that I can drop in for a visit with you and all of your friends! I hope your day is going well:-) And that your progress continues to move forward.

Thank you Rosemary I am progressing good but slow tomorrow p.t. and o.t. are going to try to put me in a reclining wheelchair to see how I do as I go to Rochester on friday to see the orthopedic surgeons and my transplant team I'm kinda scared though of it all I like when I can talk to you all it helps me a lot so thank you from all my heart for listening to me glinda
Hello @glinda
I'm sure it must be frightening - that is understandable. Let me know how the reclining wheelchair works for you.
I will be praying for your appointments on Friday.
Teresa
I will definitely let you know how the reclining wheelchair goes and on my appointments on Friday it will be my pleasure to keep you informed thanks
Glinda
@glinda definitely making progress if they are ready to try you in a reclining wheel chair. I hope that works out for you.
I wish you the best on Friday. I am sure there is nothing to be frightened about, try to keep your spirits up.

@glinda, - Glinda, Remember that this is new for you, but not for the people who are taking care of you. I think that if you talk to the caregivers, therapists, and transporters about your fears, that they respond with whatever they can to make it more manageable.
Will this be a visit as an outpatient? or will you have several days of appointments?
By the way - we are enjoying these conversations and pictures and positive vibes as much as you are:-)
Rosemary
@rosemarya @glinda such good advice, so true. I also agree that we are enjoying the pictures, etc. I wish I had some creative talent.
