Post-op day 9: Christmas day

Merry Christmas everyone. There is not much more news to share with you, except that we are still in Houston and it is sunny with a high of 50 degrees this afternoon. I can't say that I am sorry that we have missed the snow! However, all you Oklahomans can enjoy it for us. Our Christmas morning has been filled with TV, eggs and sausage for breakfast, a little cleaning, phone calls and relaxing. All in all, not too bad.

Yesterday we went for a little drive down to Galveston. It wasn't bad at all. We weren't sure what we would do once we got there, but that was OK. It was nice to get out of the hotel. Once we arrived in Galveston we drove to the coast and saw the beautiful ocean! I LOVE the ocean, although I would like to see some other ocean view besides a Gulf of Mexico ocean view. The wind was blowing very hard yesterday and there were white caps on the water. We would have walked the beach, but we were ill equipped to handle the briskness of the wind, it was in the mid 40's but it felt much colder than that. After driving by the ocean and checking out what Moody Gardens was all about, we went to eat a restaurant, overlooking the ocean, called Fish Tales. The food was good and the conversation great. Since Jimmy is having difficulty walking long distances due to left leg pain, we didn't actually walk around Moody Gardens.

My apologies, the blog posted prematurely.

Plans for today included watching some NFL football, but unfortunately, we think it is on the NFL network and we don't have that channel here at our lovely hotel room. As a matter of fact, my TV aficionado husband is quite disappointed in the cable service at this hotel.Something we should have checked out before we checked in. :-) Jimmy wants to venture out the movies and watch Sherlock Holmes. Only after the laundry is done though... Ahhh, laundry on Christmas... what better present than clean clothes! Then later this afternoon we plan on going to Luby's for a nice, clean-up free, Christmas dinner.

We wish we were home for the holidays, but it really isn't so bad. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!
