Made a pot of coffee, ate Cheerios with fresh blueberries, two more loads of laundry.
Can hardly handle the excitement, lol.
Not complaining, though. As AT can tell you, after a heart attack you really learn to appreciate the little things, and just being able to be home and vertical.
Between the bone-on-bone terrible hip, and the tiredness from the heart, my body seems to want to put on weight. At least I’m good at something.

I've been getting oxycodone from the VA for over 15 years for chronic pain management. They don't give me enough to even get hooked on it.
I only take it occasionally, and it gives me a pretty good buzz. I call it "pill cocaine."

Sounds like you are handling it just right.
I can’t handle narcotics. I feel weird in the head, in a bad way, and I cant keep it down. Even a day after surgery, I pretty much just can take Advil or Tylenol. Even IV Morphine, I have to keep that little plastic tray very close. I especially loathe Codeine.

Morphine and Prednisone are on my allergic list at the VA. Morphine makes me feel like I have to force myself to breath, and I've been in intensive care getting pumped full of that stuff and I HAVE quit breathing.
Prednisone makes my heart pound.

What a great day, though bittersweet. Stayed over at friend's home last night, both up early with coffee. Third friend came over around 10:30 a.m., then we walked to pedestrian trail onto Crescent Moon National Park.
Water level down, waiting for monsoons, so we waded a bit, Janet the only one to submerge. That is snowmelt from Flagstaff mountains, damn cold. Yes, I'm a wuss!
Walked back to Myriam's home, she had dr appt, so Janet and I took off to The Hideaway. I had sweet & spicy sausage and pepper grilled sammy, Janet chose a grinder. Heavenly sammies.
Then it was "goodbye" for now, though we'll see each other Saturday at Safeway, not the same...
She'd hoped to drive down with me, but we're both happy her brother and SIL are coming in from Maine on Monday.
I'll post sime pics later, got to get to wifi to upload.

The sammiches sound delicious.
Goodbyes are always sad. My big sis cried when I left Montana last summer. They're thinking of coming over to Wisco again this year though.

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

I'm going to miss people here; nature's beauty here in Northern AZ, but will be happy with normal cell and wifi.

Northern AZ will be measurably less-attractive with you gone.
