Happy to be home.
Happy to be in her own bed.
Happy to have family and friends close by.
Today, Erica is feeling less sick but still fatigued. She tires easily and does not have much of an appetite. Having said that - she is enthusiastic about all these postings about homemade meals:) That makes her happy, too. Let's say, this weekend, a few more days of quiet, rest and restoration, and next week, provided she has more energy and appetite, visitors to amuse her and homemade goodness to nourish her (please coordinate with Christian or Judy first lest she be inundated or indisposed).
Today, I've opted for a song that may be more familiar than the previous ditty...
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.

If I were closer, I'd make a big batch of jambalaya and bring it on over. Sorry I'm not there, but I'll send love and well wishes instead. You are on my mind and I will call when things calm down for you.
love,
sam, joe, ella and jake

Happy 1st weekend back at home Erica! Love u,

You are so very missed at Fairfax Orthopaedics. It is just not the same when you are not there. All of your patients, and I mean all, send their love, words of encouragement, wishes for a quick recovery to health and prayers. I think I got, "I want Erica back" at least four times yesterday :). And no offense is taken.
We love you and pray for much rest and peace all around this weekend and in the coming weeks.
With much love,
inger
