It has been an extremely long day but the news is good all around!

We started in the lab at 6 am and our last appointment was at 3. We actually got in early for the last 2 appointments so did get to leave a little early. The dermatology appointment also didn't take very long so we got to stop in to the support group meeting for a few minutes to see some people.

All of the lab numbers are good. There was nothing to be seen on xray and the dermatologist found no trouble spots for skin cancers. The bone scan did show that his bones are still thin but that goes with the meds and age. So, he continues the Fosamax and calcium. Dr. Yip and Stephanie were both thrilled with how he looked.

Tomorrow is the heart cath/biopsy. It will be another long day but we won't be running from building to building. We stay in the same one, on the same floor, it's just a long boring day while he lays still.

We had a good day yesterday. We met our friend Paul and he took us sightseeing. In the 15 months we lived here we didn't get out of our comfort zone much. We did more long distance sightseeing, going to St. Augustine and Daytona Beach. So, Paul took us downtown and we rode the "people mover", a short rail transit for the downtown area. It's totally free and you could ride all day if you wanted to. We also rode the water taxi across the river to The Landing, which is a boutique shopping, restaurant area. Since we're not big shoppers we didn't do a lot of shopping so we rode the water taxi over it's entire route, which isn't really big, but it was enjoyable. It was really hot so moving created a nice breeze. We also went to see the nurses. They always like to see their patients return in good health. They especially like to see Bill after all he's been through.

We met with Kristin, our landlady, and got the lamps I bought from her. They are the lamps that were in the bedroom of the condo. She's been selling a lot of things and I just asked her if she would sell them. They will go beautifully in our bedroom when we get it painted.

So, you're caught up for now. We're going to get something to eat before long and stop in at Walmart then call it a night. We may not get to the beach again this trip, but that's ok. I told Bill that since we want to wait until after rush hour to leave Thursday we could go to the beach for breakfast, but haven't made a final decision.

So, that's it for this update. I'll let you know how things go tomorrow!
