Why does doing laundry make me feel so "normal"?

This morning I am working on laundry and realizing how sick I am.  Yes, I like doing laundry.  Mostly, I like the feeling of clean clothes and clean sheets.  Joel thinks it is funny.  But today, it is just what I need and I can't really describe why.  

I spoke with Joel's nurse, Kerri, this morning.   He is doing well and still sleeping.  They are working on getting him in a spot to go home today but that is still up in the air.  I haven't called him because I wanted him to get as much rest as possible.

As a side, I am so amazed at how many people have been involved in his care.  I was trying to remember every one's names: Billie, Lise, Sonya, Dr. Oro, Chris, Devin, Kelli, Betsy, Jackie, Jodi, Kerri, the ICU dr (I can't remember his name) and I didn't meet the behind the scenes people who have been cleaning his room, changing his sheets, moving his bed, taking out his trash, bringing his food.  WOW!!! (Honestly, keep Kelli and Betsy in your prayers.  These women work in the recovery room and I am sure get an earful, some pleasant and some not so pleasant on a daily basis.)

Here at home we have had even more support and help. Thank you!! Again, WOW!!! I will let you know if there is anything we need as it comes up.  So far, we seem to have everything under control.
