Road Trip

We got the news on Thursday that Eric's surgeon is ready to do the "big" surgery. He went to the cardiologist's office on Monday and we asked him to call Cleveland to find out what is going on with the surgery (I guess he got results). So it is off to Cleveland on Monday. I had asked for more time to plan this, but to no avail, I only have a couple of days.

I'm still on my diet and these are the time when it is hard...when I am under a lot of stress. I mailed out an application yesterday and rolled up coins that were on the dresser. So I guess I am working on some of those goals! I'm not sure if I have lost any weight, but more than likely I have. I need to get to the store to get my vitamins. Planning...I get paralyzed a bit when thinking about what I need to do before Monday. So many things, such little time. And I am not looking forward to being away from home for 10 - 12 days. It's not like a vacation even though I will be living in a hotel room.

Once he is on the road to recovery, it should make things somewhat better. He should be able to go to cardiac rehab now and get his strength back. That will make a big difference. And he will also be able to have a kidney transplant should one become available. Time will tell what is in store for us.
