Harv's home health therapists are outstanding. Amazing how much improvement he has had in just one week.
His doctor told him to eat plenty of protein to gain strength, so we're loading up on peanut butter in every which way.
Enter your peanut butter recipes in my conteat by posting the recipe on this blog or onmy Facebook page. I need all the ways I can find to bolster Harvey's strength.

The whole story
Just the facts, ma'am!
Our holiday season took an unexpected shift. On December 20 just as I was heading out my door, my daughter Betty called from the airport to tell me that she mand her beau had landed. My answer? "Can't talk to I'm taking Harvey (my husband) to the Emergency Room!"
He had severe abdominal pains and Dr. Ko wanted a CT scan immediately. So Betty and Mark met me at Eisenhower ER waiting area. Eventually they took him for the scan which showed abdominal blockage. He was admitted to the hospital and had surgery the following day. Luckily it was only scar tissue from gall bladder surgery and nothing more4e serious. Serious enough to keep him in the hospital for 8 days followed by 12 days in rehab.
He is thankfully home now and with the help of home care getting stronger each day. So my winter holiday turned into "Thanksgiving. I am so greatful that he came through.
My absolutely wonderful daughter stayed on to help me get through all the crises. I don't know what I would have done without her. She finally had to leave but was an amazing help.
So the New Year started off scary but is turning around.
Thanks to all for the lovely notes and calls. They meant a lot.
Will still continue with my "Peanut Butter Recipe Contest" but the end date may have to be delayed. Please post your favorite peanut butter recipes on my blog: www.peanutbutterlady.blogspot.com or on my Facebook page. (Cynthia Kagan Frohlichstein)Looking forward to some delicious recipes.

Stuff Happens
The best laid plans!
Mark and Betty arrived in Palm Springs just as I was leaving to take my husband Harvey to the emergency room. He stayed in the hospital for abdominal surgery and is now in rehab. Doing okay - progress every day. So the kids visit wasn't quite what we had planned.
Mark went home today but Betty is staying to help me out. I appreciate her support.
Not sure how long Harv will be in rehab. Like everyone - we just take it one day at a time.
Not the greatest ending for 2009 or beginning for 2010 but we're grateful because it could have been much worse.
May your days be healthy, filled with laughter, friendship and peace.
