Bill's swallow test went well Friday, only took 10 minutes and they had him swallow 4 different things. I don't think he could have done it that fast if he was aspirating since he would have been coughing.

We had a class during rehab about exercise and meds and how Prednisone can affect so many different parts of the body. Usually I don't like going to the classes because most of them just take some common sense. But this one was informative.

We haven't done much of anything since Weds. other than at Mayo. We did do a little shopping Thursday and every time we tried to go for a walk it started raining. It did rain every day this week, but it's been wonderfully cool, only in the mid 80s. We've only turned the air on at night since the condo gets really stuffy and it's too noisy to have the windows open. Otherwise we've had the patio door open and the ceiling fans running.

We don't have any plans for the rest of the week-end, we'll just see where it leads us. Next week is going to start off with a bang. Bill's biopsy is Monday and we have to be at Mayo at 6:45, then rehab at 10:30 if the biopsy is finished and he feels like going. It should be through his neck again so if it's done in time for him to get some breakfast first he should be ok. We then have to be there at 8:30 Tuesday to get the results of the swallow study. We also have the LVAD luncheon Tuesday afternoon and then rehab again on Weds. and Friday. Whew! I'm pooped just thinking about it.

Can't think of anything else for now. Enjoy the rest of your week-end.
