Footloose and Fancy Free

Computers are wonderful to a point - I wrote yesterday and saved a couple long paragraphs as a draft and guess what? You got it - the draft is nowhere to be found. Darn it!

I was transported to Aspen Ridge West Intermediate Care Center just after lunch yesterday. This is a beautiful facility. I have a private room, bath w/shower, DirectTV, Wireless Internet, climate control of my own room, 5 star accommodations with 24/7 nursing staff. Hopefully after three weeks of coronary rehab I will have developed new habits that will lead me to a healthier person.

The grounds are beautiful - lots of flowers, trees, shrubs: the inside is really nice with a library, dining room, physical therapy rooms, aquarium etc - I wish you could all come visit me and see just what I mean. I think Merri did post a link which would take you on a virtual tour of Aspen Ridge West.

My kids have been sooooooo wonderful - I never was alone while at the hospital - someone was with me 24/7 in ICU as well as on the Heart/Lung Floor. I so appreciate all their love and concern. Family is what it is all about!

Merri mentioned Dr. Aman - he is the nicest man ever! At the hospital, whenever someone talked about that nice doctor - you KNOW they were talking about him. He told me all about when he met his wife - how beautiful she is - their one and only date, their son, etc - what a man! He showed me a letter from President Monson which gives him a "home free" IN to heaven - ha ha! He also told me he is a "Jack Monson." What a hoot!

I guess I gave the kids a really big scare and am sorry about that because I was unconscious for about three days and didn't know what was going on until Wednesday, June 2. But yesterday the doctor told me about the three Ultrasound tests since I arrived at the hospital and with Monday's test - it shows my heart is working normally now. Yes!

My phone number in my room is 801-713-3213, and my cell is still 801-661-6543. Call - I would love to chat with you. Best to call after 11:00 AM because I am in physical therapy until then.

Thanks again for all the love and prayers and the fasting. All has been greatly appreciated. Give my love to all. Carol
