Glad to hear that the nurse thinks that you are doing well enough for some alone time. There is nothing worse to me than to have someone hover and keep me from doing my own little routine. Do you think that you will get the trach out soon or do you still have a lot of swelling in your neck?

I am surprised that they all sleep together and in a hanging basket. I would have thought that they were more independent and that they would sleep on the floor of the cage. Interesting. It would be fun to make them one of those models that they make prior to building an office complex and let them play in that. The one at the county office I was at yesterday has little trees, cars and all kinds of miniature things that they could play with. Be sure to let me know when the little one stops licking your hand and no longer thinks that you are sick.

Rest up and enjoy the weekend. I hope that your weather is nicer than mine.
