I finally got a few stitches done today. I finished up the gold string of beads block. I'm heading to school shortly to pick up Aidan as he returns from Jacksonville and the Skills USA competition. He placed second in his competition, and he is quite pleased. That course over spring break paid off.
We visited Tom this morning as he had surgery late yesterday. The anesthesia is having quite the effect on him. He is still in pain, and the PT folks did get him to sit up but he would not stand or move to a chair. He said he was too weak. After they left, he was very talkative.... and having hallucinations with some lucid statements from this week thrown in. It was an interesting experience. They say it is normal and should wear off in a few days. We will see. I've heard that anesthesia can speed up the onset of dementia, so we will see what happens. He had a few signs of it before, but usually when he had an infection which we also noticed with my Mom as well. Greg said he was like that after a surgery back in 2018 when he was in the ICU for a few weeks. We got a call after we got home indicating they moved him off the surgery pre/post op floor to a patient wing. We will head over tomorrow after I finish working and see how he is doing.
The Tasty recipe for rice noodles with veggie stir fry was really good. We will add that one to the rotation and it was quick to make as well, since we got home pretty late after visiting Tom and then picking up Emily from school after 5PM.
Last night I had leftover roaster chicken that needed using, so I made chicken enchiladas with a green salsa verde. It was yummy. I just do a can of cream of chicken soup, about a cup of sour cream and then cut up chicken. I added some black beans, then the mixture into a flour burrito and rolled it up. A bunch of them in the pan with the salsa verde on top then some cheddar cheese and baked for 30 minutes. It is all gone as it was dinner and lunch for everyone today.
Tonight is a black bean and corn charred burrito bowl. We will see how that is.
Off to get the boy.

gold String is so pretty--nice to add that to your groups...
Watched F1 Warm-up--interesting the talk swirling about Hamilton lately. And Lando, too... Should be an interesting race this weekend...have my Ojos hand quilting ready to go for watching...
hugs, Julierose
My mom was off the wall wacky for awhile after her hip surgery. I was so worried I asked the doctor about it and she said it's not unusual after anesthesia and can last for awhile. It's scary and strange for the family, that's for sure. Hope your boy had a blast at his skills competition! Your meals sound delicious.
the enchilada's sound great I make one some thing like that too. Glad FIL made it through surgery alright - poor guy it is one thing after another with him.
Oh my, what a beautiful block, Deb! I always love reading your menu plans. Yes, us old folks are always having something or other it seems...comes with the age. Always a worry too.
