tonight, I'm grateful for the uncomfortable hospital recliner that I attempted to sleep in - cause I didn't have to try to sleep on the floor! I'm grateful that I'm fit enough that I had room where I could toss and turn on that recliner and wasn't forced to try to sleep on my back. I'm grateful that I was able keep my temper in check so I didn't cause a scene with the CNA; grateful Mak and Reese were able to stay with gma and gpa so I could stay with D. and most grateful that D is a-ok. thank you Lord!
