March 8, 2009 10:45 PM 81 days to go

It was a beautiful Spring day once again - so we went for a walk again. As with Spring in New Hampshire, tomorrow it's going to snow and turn colder for the next several days - so no more walking for a while.

Enough with the weather report. I found that my thighs were sore from walking yesterday but certainly not enough to slow down today's walk. So I can see that I have a ways to go before I get back into "shape"(round is a shape!).

I guess that you can surmise from the above, I am still in good health.

Once again, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law came for a visit and we had a good time talking and playing cards. Even though I won, my brother-in-law says that my victory was tainted as I backed into it. A win is a win I say!

As with last Sunday, my sister-in-law brought the food for the meal which was very good. It's somewhat of a bummer that all my food has to be thoroughly cooked. I do miss a nice rare steak and a rare hamburger. Even though the others had wine, it does not bother me at all to not be able to join them. The only other thing that I miss is being able to order food from the outside - a nice sub sandwich... a pizza... all of that is forbidden. Someday...

So another quiet day as we wait for the next medical update on Wednesday.

Sunday also brings to mind that I still miss church, singing in choir, etc. But, you know, when I do get back, I will really appreciate that all the more having been deprived of it for so long.

This whole experience is going to make me value so many of the things that we all tend to take for granted in our lives.

Those of you in good health should thank God for that blessing...
