Aren't these beautiful flowers from my sweetie? We just celebrated 13 years of togetherness. He's ready for me to be better too! This waiting is an endurance test but somehow I feel more ready this time around. It is impossible to avoid thinking about one's mortality but for the most part I am very optimistic.
Last week while we were waiting (3 hours) for our appointment with Dr. Sugarbaker, we talked with a man who had had his surgery 3 weeks previously. He was an inspiration. He was getting along very well. He was only taking pain meds at night and had started driving again. Another man was there for his 7 year check up and was also very encouraging. He told us he was out clearing brush 6 weeks after his surgery. Not a goal of mine, but it allowed my imagination to run. Just think, I could be sailing by July! I have told Rich that I might be more of a deck ornament than a first mate but time will tell.
Much Love, Kate

Take it from me, being a deck ornament is the way to go! The hardest part is getting out of the way of that bossy captian. Oh, and not turning green.
