December 15

So much for the heist being secretive. Even the nurses at RUH are referring to Judy's Great Escape as "the heist". They were even complicit in smuggling bags of something or other under Judy's garments. Judy's friend, Trish, helped me spirit Judy from RUH this afternoon. I made up Judy's hospital bed to look like she was still sleeping in the bed, but the nurses discovered the ruse before we even squealed out of the parking lot. Needless to say, Judy enjoyed her afternoon immensely. Just to breathe non hospital air is a healing balm. When we got home, I made a fire in the fireplace and we listened to Michael Buble's Christmas CD. Thank goodness Judy did not request the musical stylings of Kenny G. We'll save Kenny G for Christmas Day. Did you ever notice that Kenny G music seems to attract a lot of neighborhood cats? Judy withstood the rigors of getting out for the afternoon quite well so there should be no problem in going ahead with future escapes on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. A great day for Judy indeed.
