SUNDAY — Many faithful readers

Well, okay, one actually: It’s only been since last Wednesday we (John) wrote, but had a request today from one of you in Blog land, that it was time for an update.

Things have continued going well with Physical Therapy and with getting out to go places.  Nancy went today to an award ceremony (for a prior student) at CWU, and John went on a field trip to Umptanum Falls and to patterned ground up on top of Manastash Ridge just a few miles south of EBRG.  John has continued every afternoon,  until today, to do “ground” work with the horses in the round pen.

We hit a few more yard sales and got me more clothes for the thinner body.  Nice to get them at these prices and not at store prices.  Goodwill is a good source too, but about 4 times as expensive.  I am still excited about the shoe-style boots we found in Yakima Goodwill for John, and the work boots I found for him at a yard sale, for $3.  The strangest coincidence happen with this purchase.  An hour after I returned home with the boots we went out again to watch a young friend play baseball, and behold, there sitting on the end of the bleacher was the previous owner – there to watch his grandson.

We do have to go to a doctor this Wednesday to talk about a possible implant of a device to control my atrial fibrillation but then the next appointment – a follow-up with the cardiologist isn’t for nine weeks.  I’m not sure I wish to go back in the hospital again any time soon, especially with my complications with Heparin, the blood thinner.
