Doing Good...

Still at home recovering. We've had a good bit of company and we want to thank everyone for coming by and checking in with us. We've really enjoyed all the visits. I'm doing good. The pain is dropping off a little each day and getting more active each day. I've begun walking the dog some and I'm enjoying that. My blood thickness number is getting closer to the target. The target is 3.0 to 3.5 and it was at 4.0 yesterday, so we're getting closer. We go back to Dr. Kerr today for a follow-up and then Wednesday, we'll be going down to Mobile to see Dr. Mayer. All in all, I would have to say that I'm feeling really good. The incision is healing well and everything's looking good. I've still got two more weeks before the staples can come out. I think after I get those out, I'll fell a lot better. If nothing else, at least I won't look like I've got a zipper running up my chest.

We've got a few pictures from the hospital that I want to put up. I'll try and do that this week. I'm also going to try and start recounting what I can remember about the hospital stay. For now though, the home health nurse is here to drain some more blood out of me. Be back later,
