Anne's return!

Joyous joyousness!

  Anne was released from the hospital yesterday. Her checkout coincided with the arrival of Helen’s flight, so we both went to pick her up at the airport.

  Arriving home, Helen jumped right in with helping Anne out. It was amazing to me how easily she took to working with her stoma. After all the problems that some of the nursing staff, I was sure that we’d be fighting with it, also. But, I think that Anne was more relaxed at home and things went more easily. (Although I did have some trouble in the wee hours; so we’re not completely out of the woods yet.)

  Then she fixed Butternut Squash soup for lunch and Anne lay down for a nap. In her own bed! She was so happy not to have the constant background noise of the hospital that she went to sleep right away.

  I brought Helen up to speed on some of the major issues we’d had and did an update on Facebook before starting a Netflix movie.

  Speaking of Netflix – we’ve been having trouble watching streaming video on our new TV. When I called and complained to Netflix tech support they, of course, blamed ATT. So I called ATT TS and they “found something on the line” which he was able to reset.

  Testing the results seemed to indicate at first that things were better, but then the “Retrieving …” started once again. By the end of the call, a tech was scheduled to come look at wiring up to the house. (I can stream without a problem on the PCs).

  Today, the tech said that he couldn’t find anything and wanted to check things in the house. I reiterated to him that his TS person had said there was something outside the network, but he still wanted to check settings on our network. Anne let him in and, as you can imagine, he didn’t find anything wrong inside, either.

  Next step, call 1-800-GeekSquad to get a tech onsite and test the TV and Blu-Ray players. I hope they send Justus. He’s the best they have and we, as usual, want the best!

  Joy and happiness to you and yours,

Don and Anne
