Not much has happened the past few days. This stage of recovery is very boring!

Bill had rehab yesterday and did well with it. We also walked some in the afternoon. Carrying all the weight of the batteries and the system controller (the part that is connected to his heart) is tiring. The batteries each weigh 2 1/2 pounds and he wears 2 of them all the time. The controller also weighs about that much and getting the weight distributed is the tough part. He has a vest he can wear but the batteries put all the weight on his shoulders. The controller always sits at his waist. He has a utility belt that he's been wearing that is better. The batteries sit in holsters on each side like a gun belt.

Didn't do much today. Or I should qualify that as Bill didn't do much today. We took the car in to get a recall taken care of and then came home, paid bills and I mopped the kitchen and bathroom and did laundry. We took a walk and then dressing change, supper, cleaned up the kitchen and I'm pooped! Bill did pair up socks for me.

Tomorrow is a longer day. No rehab because of a scheduling conflict but labs and then the nurse and dr. Hopefully Tina will take out the last stitch around his drive line.

Thursday Don and Shirley are coming for a couple of days. It will be nice to see them again. We've spent more time together this past year than we have since we've been married!

All for tonight. Bill's already gone to bed and I'm off to join him. Goodnight everyone!
