It was a long week for us...we worked all day, and then made trips to the hospital each evening to visit Mimi. The hospital is a 15 minute drive from our office, and then a 30 minute drive to where we live. Most evenings, we drove separately so that I was able to leave a little earlier to get home to feed Poppy and let her outside.
Either Tuesday or Wednesday (I can't remember which), they moved Mimi to the rehab facility across the street from the hospital. Because of her falls, they want to build up her strength again and help prevent future falls. We aren't sure how long she will be there -- it's kind of a day-by-day thing. They estimated a few weeks. They have also run more tests and they are trying to see if there are any other issues going on. It's all unknown right now and that's a little stressful. Mimi has had a lot of visitors and that has helped keep her spirits up.
Since she is well taken care of at the rehab facility, we decided to take the opportunity to head to Fredericksburg for the weekend. There are a few things we needed to pick up from there, and we needed some time to rejuvenate a bit. We drove down Friday after work and had dinner at our favorite Mexican place. We also hung the painting in the bathroom.
Saturday, we had a relaxing morning and then enjoyed sushi for lunch on our way out to Hye Meadow Winery. We had some wine there and relaxed on their gorgeous patio. I also took some apple and fed the donkeys :) Then we stopped at a new winery called Ab Astris. It was a few turns off the main road, and we were able to have some good conversation with the four owners. That's always nice! We had dinner at Burger Burger and then spent a nice quiet evening at home with Poppy and watched a movie.
Sunday, we enjoyed church and then Chris did a run to test out how his back is feeling after he got adjusted at the chiropractor. I did laundry and picked up some Subway for lunch.
Back to work tomorrow. We'll see what the week holds for us.
