Another week down. No problems this week as far as I know. It's been really quiet.

Bill has done well in rehab, but still not able to use the treadmill. He doesn't see the physical medicine dr. until the end of January. He did ask Tina about it since the techs in rehab insist that he continue to use his walker. Her words were "you said you were having a problem with your leg...", yet now that "he says" the leg doesn't bother him anymore...It doesn't make a lot of sense that they are taking his word that he has a problem but not that he doesn't have one! The only time he's using the walker is when he goes for therapy. Of course he doesn't go anywhere without me beside him and we are usually holding hands or have arms linked.

Bill just asked me if I was updating this and when I said yes he said to tell you that he's doing the Irish Jig! You can tell by that, for those of you who know him, that he still has his sense of humor!

We're going to a party Tuesday night! The heart transplant/VAD support group is having a Christmas dinner. We've gone to some of their meetings and have met some really great people there. There's another VAD patient and his wife that we have gotten to know more and we have a lot in common. So, we're going to Jacksonville Beach for an Italian dinner Tuesday night.

His doctor visits had dropped from weekly to every 2 weeks now, which is progress. That's one step closer to getting home! Dr. Hosenpud did say that he thought the problem with his eye last week was a small clot that passed through the pump. He said that unlike a clot that develops in a vein, you can tell where it is going to go. But when it passes through the pump it can go anywhere in the body. Hopefully they have his Coumadin level where they want it now. He hasn't had any problems since then.

All for now. It's time for breakfast and then figure out what to do with the rest of the day.

Have a great Sunday!
