January 8, 2010 11:15 PM 44 days to go

Not much to report!

We're now 1 week gone in 2010 and things have gone as well as they possibly could have gone! It's most certainly great news but it ceases to be interesting news after a while. In fact, when I told my wife that I would be coming down to my computer to blog for today, she asked me how long was I going to continue to do this. At this point, I intend to retain my daily postings until the big "coming out party" on February 21st.

What happens after that - I don't know. Obviously, a significant input will be my health prognosis at that time along with what my doctor clears me to do.

Right now on a health basis, there is nothing to say except that everything is going great. And you all kind of know my daily activities of working on projects around the house,going to see my grandson wrestle(which we did today), or my granddaughter play soccer(which is tomorrow). That pretty much describes everyday for me. Restrictive, yet - rewarding.

I'm eagerly looking forward to turning the next corner - but I see nothing significant happening until my next doctor's visit which is now scheduled for January 27th.

However, your prayerful support is still very much needed and appreciated as I am certianly not out of the woods even if I am given clearance to resume many of my normal daily activities. The two year point is really the key hurdle to get over.

Still planning on having the pulpit on the 21st of February, I continue to make minor changes to my speech to keep it up to date...
