Well, it was nice to hear from our friends today that this blog is never boring! That's what friends are for! I sometimes get the feeling that they are being kind because it is hard for me to imagine that some of these entries hold any interest for you.

Today was another one of those days when nothing of any real interest happened. Our friends were here for dinner and we had a good day catching up on things. But the weather was basically horrible for a lot of the day as it was a pouring rain.

One of my daughters and grandson stopped by as she is trying to familiarize herself with the 6-speed standard shift car that she just bought. She's a little rusty. I did drive it twice over the weekend and, as much as I like a standard shift car, I now find that all that shifting bothers my left knee. Boy, for some things, it's not fun getting old!

No problems with my health and we're now only 10 days from my next doctor's visit. I'm looking forward to continuing to decrease my dosage of immuno-suppressants.

The comment was also made today that I've lost weight. Well, I have if you consider what my original weight was when this whole process started. But, after the first month in the hospital, my weight has basically stayed the same and I am eating whatever I want whenever I want. Appetite is the key thing here, they do want me to keep on eating and drinking lots of water which I am still doing. But those nightly trips to the bathroom are really getting to be a pain in the neck. A good, solid night's sleep is something that I have not had since last November.

Well, I that I have captured the bulk of what went on today along with my perpetual gripe about my sleeping habits.

That'll be it for today...
