On the 45th day of my hospital stay, I present a picture of Johnny who’s my most faithful supporter. He has spent most nights with me. He has stayed by my bedside.
During this past month and a half, we have celebrated his birthday, Father’s Day, and our 53rd wedding anniversary.
Johnny and I fit. Everyone at the hospital has noticed how dedicated he is, and so today I salute, Johnny.
Tomorrow I will be transfered to a rehab center where
my recovery can progress.
Thank you to Pierce Tolar for his valuable assistance.
So glad you are getting better, though I know you have a long way to go,you are going to get better. Time stands still when you are stuck in a hospital doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteDear Sally, glad to know your progress :)
ReplyDeleteNice to know Johnny...

It is good to know that you are being supported by love, not only from someone close to you but by many in blogland who care about you. Take good care.
ReplyDeleteHello Sally,
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful to hear of a very long lasting marriage and the respect you have for each other.

Sally... it's wonderful to read YOUR WORDS again... Your Johnny is an ANGEL! Work hard in rehab... we want you back!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet example you and your husband are setting for all around you, including those lovely grandchildren! Continuing to keep you in my prayers. I'll be interested to hear how it goes at the rehabilitation center as a dear friend of mine will be going to one after an upcoming surgery. Monday blessings to you. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sally *tiiight hugs*
ReplyDeleteSalute to Johnny for being so dedicated to the love of his life. Marriages such as the one you both share are not known by so many. How special you are to each other and how comforting that is.
I am SO happy to hear you are feeling better and can move on to rehab. You have been through so much....and you are in my thoughts...
I hope today is a wonderful uplifting one for you...and Johnny

Sally I am so glad you are doing pretty good. I always continue to pray for your fast recovery. And with Johnny at your side I knew it made a lot of difference. Congratulations to a 53 wedding anniversary, gush I don't know if in this generation many could make it. You could make a book for it Sally ^_^ Who could have the authority to talked about married life..is the people who made it beyond 50 years, right?? Okey now I knew you are smiling because for sure you have soooooo many things to share. And for me who is married for seven years would love to hear those times where both of you also had to struggle but won at the end.
ReplyDeleteTo Johnny: Thank you for taking care of our beloved Sally. I think this is my first time to see you in the blogland and you are a handsome man inside and out. And hey is that smile made Sally's heart melt?? ^_^ ^_^
Happy weekdays ahead and God bless you and your family!!
xoxo

Oh what a blessing He is for you. What a wonderful thing to see that you two have "fit" together for 53 years. So glad you have graduated to a rahab center after such a tedious 45 days.
ReplyDeleteAnn
Sally this is the best news I have had lately. Thank goodness things are moving in the right direction. However, you are one of the lucky ladies. You have two great men watching over and taking care you. The heavenly man and your earthly man, Johnny. You have been down a long, tough road, but you have passed those spots now. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI am sure the rehab will be a lot of work for you, but it is something that YOU will feel good about doing to help with your care. It is a big step forward. It is nice to have such a faithful cheerleader!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated anniversary.
Oh, Dear Sally! God bless you and God bless Johnny for being by your side. What a witness of love! Love you and still praying for you, sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Shelia ;)
Sally, I'm so glad to learn that you continue to make progress! I'm sure it's in no small part due to the attentive care you're getting from your Johnny. Bless you both!
ReplyDeleteAw, Sally, how sweet. A belated happy birthday to Johnny and happy anniversary to you both. You got a good one! (Then, so did he. :-) ) Glad to hear you're continuing to recover and pray you will still more.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are doing better, Sally... Your hubby is wonderful... Aren't we glad we have such wonderful men in our lives?
ReplyDeleteHugs and PRAYERS,
Betsy

ReplyDeleteSo glad you've had reasons to smile, Sally! 53 years with a soul mate is awesome and needs to be celebrated. Trials such as you are going through are so much easier to bear when shared with someone you love deeply. Congratulations to both of you. Belated happy birthday to your Johnny. I'm sure the best gift you could give him is for you to be on the road to full wellness.
ReplyDeleteThat brought tears to my eyes! I hope you are feeling better, Sally! What a man you have! :)

May God bless you, Sally, as you enter rehab. Congrats to you and your husband on a long and happy marriage.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're getting better. Johnny is truly a keeper! I know you feel blessed.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to you Sally! Keep smiling!
ReplyDeleteSally, We are so glad that you are doing better. Yes, I would agree that you and Johnny are a perfect fit. My sweet Bob and I were married 53 years on June 15th. We are also a fit so I know what you mean.
ReplyDeleteYoung lady, take care of yourself and get back in the "blue" very soon. Your family is precious for keeping us informed on your condition. Hugs, kisses and prayers to all of you. Ginger :)
God bless you, Sally. Happy Anniversary to you and Johnny too! What a wonderful testimony! I pray you will enjoy good health very soon. Take care and I hope your week goes well for you.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Sweet post. So glad to know you will be leaving the hospital. Loads of luck for rehab. You have a good man there to support you, nothing but good thoughts are sent your way.
ReplyDeleteSally, I want you to know I've been praying for you. Lots going on here, too, which I can't even begin to put into words, but it's been a whirlwind to say the least. Mr. Magpie is still recuperating, and I am the nurse. I haven't had my computer (I left it in S.A.), but I stole Fred's laptop to catch up with your news. I love you and think of you often. Get well soon so we can go to lunch!!!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila
Hi Sally, sending you all my thoughts and prayers as your recovery begins in rehab. I have been out of the blogging world and was so sorry when I clicked your blog to see you are so sick. I wish you well.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Ellen

I am late linking but have had my post up since Monday! I am glad you are getting better. You sure have a faithful following and a devoted gentleman at your side. You are so blessed. I am so happy I came over here a few weeks back and joined, I have always enjoyed reading all the posts but am enjoying more by participating. Love to you! Anne
ReplyDeleteYou AND Johnny are both so blessed. You are an inspiration to so many. My prayers are with you as you continue to recover.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte
Dear Sally,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see that you are able to start rehab --that's the beginning of the real "get better" marathon!
If it's like most Rehab places, the cushy hospital life is over and you'll be in boot camp! Good luck, God bless and hold you in His loving hands thru this ordeal. What a wonderful family you have -- a true testament to YOUR love and caring.
Get well, my dear!
Keep smiling....
Cass
