Our patient is coming along quite nicely, and so my care-taking holiday from school ends tomorrow.
Heidi must be off for at least another two weeks and possibly up to six weeks to recover, but she is feeling well enough to be bored, and so the main risk seems to be that she will overdo it in some way because she is impatient to return to normal activity. Knowing how restless she can be, I was counting on her being tired from the surgery, but it looks like being profoundly anemic for most of a year might have altered her sense of fatigue.
Starting next week though? I'm going to schedule some home repair people to come and do a few little jobs that haven't seemed worth taking time off for. That ought to keep her occupied!
