Today was a happy/sad day. Bill completed his cardiac rehab and graduated! All of the girls and I were crying as he made his "walk" down the aisle. We will both miss seeing them. Now the only left to do is his biopsy on Monday and he's released for awhile. Of course he will never be released. We will be coming back several times a year for another year and then it will be once a year for several days.

We had a great visit with our friends Cindi and John from Gulf Breeze. We went out to dinner and then loaded all of Bill's leftover VAD supplies into their truck. They also come back in February like we will so we're planning on stopping at their house for the night and then coming on together, as long as we're scheduled at the same time.

We still haven't finished packing but I've been sick the last 2 days. Went to the Dr. today and I have another sinus infection. At least it isn't the flu or strep. I've got a call in to Stephanie to see if there's anything special we need to do so that Bill doesn't get it. I wore a mask this morning at Mayo so I wouldn't infect any of the other transplant patients. That is a drawback of being away from other people you could call on for transportation.

Speaking of transportation, a sore spot with Bill has been driving. He's not ready for that yet as he still doesn't maintain complete control of his legs and hands. But, as usual, when we discuss it, he argues that he is able to drive. But, today, while Debbie and Lorrie were talking to us, he was very agreeable that he wasn't ready to drive. We are leaving it up to our dr. at home to make the call. We're going to look for a stroke rehab center that has a driving simulator to test him. We'll have to see how that goes. For now I will just keep all of the car keys!

Probably won't write anything over the week-end, but will let you know how the biopsy goes Monday and Tuesday's results. Have a good week-end.
