A pot-pourri day!

Today is my mother-in-law's 92nd birthday. What a gift it is to be able to live to that age. As long as you have your mental faculties(which she does) then age is only a number. Tomorrow we celebrate at my sister-in-law's house.

Since crowds are still something that I do not wish to deal with, tonight we went to the dress rehearsal for the Machester Choral Society's Christmas concert. There was nobody there(other than the participants) and it made it easy to enjoy the music without the fear of contracting some sort of disease.

Several people that we did know there decided to keep away because they were battling colds. I guess that all kinds of things are still going around. For me, so far so good.

I'm also getting back to normal in other ways. As I said before, now that I can taste food, I eat more and I've gained back most of the weight that I had lost - but not all! I'm trying to keep from getting all the way back. I might as well get one benefit from all that's happened to me.

Also, with the end of the immuno-suppressants, I'm drinking less water so those middle of the night bathroom breaks don't occur anymore either. This is a big deal for me because the moment that I entered the hospital last November they started filling me with fluids and then I had to drink all that water. During all that time, I could never get a full night's sleep. Not so any more!

Each step feels great...
