I'm back

THURSDAY: I had hoped to have the laptop working with a wireless connection up here in my bed today, thanks to Gerry Tyra setting it up for me last night, but sadly something went wrong after he left. We're hoping to get that fixed soon. In the meantime I'm going to type this up and save it to post later.

And yay, as you can see, I'm back online! Gerry is great. He is one dedicated engineer who is determined to fix a problem that's presented to him, and will be a very helpful force in my recuperation.

And yes, I'm up way too late. Poor Maggie is having night terrors - probably a mix of stress and worry over me, excitement of Grandma and the Tyras visiting, and a disrupted sleep schedule. She had some last night, tonight is worse. Karl was downstairs cuddling her for a while, and has been exiled to sleep in there with the kids to try to keep them soothed. I offered to bring her in with us, but he pointed out that would put her little kicky feet right at incision level. Right.

Email note

So anyway, I'm back, New Partially De-boned Laura, absolutely not found in your grocer's freezer case.

However, I'm back on a borrowed laptop on a tray by my bed, as going downstairs is currently out of the question. Bless Gerry Tyra for the amazing network guru that he is, and incredibly kind man. So I have web access, but Outlook is downstairs on Agatha. So if you would like to reach me, use my gmail address - you can guess the username - NOT my charter.net account. Thanks.

And feel free to write, it'd be nice.

Let's try that again

Last night's wireless connection unfortunately didn't last any longer than the previous one. Bother. Gerry Tyra is jokingly saying that he doesn't know me. Poor guy, he's been such a help. But finally I am now connected thanks to the services of a very looooooong ethernet cable, and a hole drilled through the floor. Hopefully this won't have any problems.

I am continuing to convalesce. Still in a lot of pain, but I think it is better than yesterday. Having the higher bed helps, as does the higher seat in the bathroom, and certain functions are now behaving.

So now I can try to catch up on LJ and mail and such. Well, the gmail anyway.
