What a long week! Bill's biopsy went well and again there is no rejection. The dr. lowered 1 of his anti-rejection drugs so he will have to have some bloodwork done this week. Our local lab can draw the blood, but they will have to send it to a bigger lab to run the test. He's also able to get his flu and pneumonia shots this year. So, Tuesday is another dr. visit. They also said that some of his other numbers were not as good because he still isn't drinking enough. So, we're back to the battle of pushing fluids. Stephanie knows that this has been a battle in the past.

We had a good visit in Clearwater with Bill's sister and husband. We stayed at a little resort at the beach and walked to the beach every day. Bill got a good workout. The weather was wonderful, in the mid-80's and no rain at all.

We let the GPS bring us home today instead of going the way we usually go. We stayed the night in Macon, GA and it took us up to Chattanooga and then across Tennessee. We usually head to Birmingham from Atlanta and then up to Memphis, or Jackson, TN, depending on my mood. This way wasn't bad and was supposed to be faster, but I don't think so. With meal and gas stops it took 9 1/2 hours. We are both pretty tired and it is COLD here at home! We turned the heat on to take the chill out of the house and of course Bill stays cold, although it was pretty cool in here. I'm not looking forward to the higher gas bills, but it's only money. We're going to call the chimney sweep in the next couple of weeks to get the chimney done. It hasn't been done since 2010 (although we were gone for 15 months) so I want it cleaned before we try to have a fire.

All for this week. I'm whupped and probably won't be able to stay awake much longer!
