We got our first food delivery today, from Arlene Sanderson (a friend from Yoga class). It is amazing! Chicken, meat loaf and lasagna with salad and roast veges and home made desert. This will clearly last us for several days, and we'll freeze what we don't eat tonight. I just figured out how to edit the task dates on the helpinghands website, so I've deleted many of the dates to more accurately reflect our needs. When MJ comes home, I'll add some more dates, as well as announce them on this blog. Thanks to all involved.
I'm sure the irony is not lost on any of us. Sam and I are trying to figure out how we can manage to eat all this food, whicle MJ is starving in the hospital...
Talk to you tomorrow.

Oy Vey JR,
ReplyDeleteSigh . . . It's heartbreaking that our dear Cuz'n is starring in this movie. There's no doubt though that her indomitable spirit will see her through, enshallah. After all, we of the Asper lineage are all cheerleaders at heart.
Be on the lookout for something coming in the mail. iHugs, Jamie & Ralph
Thinking of you all and hoping that the motility deity, whomever she is, comes through soon. The chest x-ray results were good news. I'm ready to help plant flowers. I'm planning menus for when there are some empty dates on the website. I didn't see any empty ones (or perhaps I am computer challenged). That's evidence for what I call an enthusiastic and generous cadre of friends. That certainly was evident Friday evening. MJ, it says alot about your leadership that you have so many friends. With best regards... Lazar, Jacob and me
ReplyDeleteMJ and Jonathan you are a fantastic team!
ReplyDeleteMj the strong brave and wise, and Jonathan
the loving man who does everything to make
MJ comfortable.
Wednesday will be a great day with good news,
and for that we send you all our love.
Michelle & Gerald
Dear MJ, the only upside for not being there with you is that I don't have to cook . We all know that's beyond my capabilities. Mike says he'll bring you coffee, tho. I am looking forward to the day when we can take you and yours out to dinner. We love you.
ReplyDeleteMJ, I remember from my hysterectomy that 'motility' was the worst and most painful part of my recovery. I can promise that it will pass (pun intended!). In admiration of your spirit and prayers for your quick and full recovery,

Dear MJ and Jon;
ReplyDeleteThe other day you posted a photo of Hydrangeas, which I thought were almost as lovely and beautiful as MJ. I wish you both today a day as lovely as those hydrangeas.
Love,
Cousin Gerry
Hi there! Just wondering if you've thought about maybe getting reflexology person to come in there and do some pressure point stimulation to get the energy flowing, or maybe an acupuncturist, if they'd allow such a thing.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have anyone to suggest, since I just moved here, but I'm sure others do.
Still sayin' my prayers and hoping that sleep is coming more easily.

MJ,every miserable hospital minute that passes gets you a minute farther down the path to wellness. You've always been over-endowed in the determination/will of steel departments, flaunt it...

A good friend had the Whipple Prodecure at Stanford (same Doctor as Steve Jobs). He had her taking MiraLAX to get things moving. She swears by it.
ReplyDeleteMiraLAX--Polyethylene Glycol 3350
(a powder mixed with water)
Perhaps it could be administered through a feeding tube?
