I'm soooo sorry that I haven't updated this in so long! But, when things are going well there's nothing to update! That's the good news.

We have had an interesting summer. I decided to take the summer off for the first time in 15 years and have not regretted it. I've been more relaxed since I don't know when. We've also been very busy.

After the drs. ok in April, we took a nearly month long vacation. We drove to Illinois and hopped a train to Chicago and on to Boston. From there we rented a car and drove through New Hampshire and Maine. I totally fell in love with both places, but I think I like Maine more. I told Bill I need to go back in the winter to see if I still like it when it's cold.

We've also been doing some remodeling and that has been a nightmare. Haven't even been able to start the inside yet, because of fighting with contractors about finishing the outside! Hopefully that will happen next week.

Bill saw Dr. Lan and Dr. Burnett in June and both were very pleased with him. He weathered all of the travelling well and Dr. Lan has released him, unless he has another episode of v-tach. Dr. Burnett tweaked one of his meds and doesn't want to see him until October. It will also be time for another heart cath then.

He did have cataract surgery in April and it did not heal well and he had to have some laser surgery in June to remove some scar tissue. That has now healed and is doing well.

He has an appointment with the transplant clinic on July 27th. They do periodic clinics to check conditions and make sure he is still healthy enough for the transplant. That seems kind of silly...you're sick enough to need a new heart, but you have to be healthy enough to get one!

We made a quick trip to Oklahoma over the 4th holiday. Our grandson was burned at work and we wanted to see how he was. He's out of the hospital but still has a long way to go.

That's it in a nutshell. I'll try to do better about updating this, even if there's nothing to say!
