Winter Wonderland

We got 10 inches of snow today in Neenah. There is about 20 inches on the ground now. It doesn't make for easy strolling outside especially when the temp is single digits. But this is Wisconsin and it's December.

I continue to slowly improve. My energy is a little better. Have not taken afternoon naps the last few days so that is a positive sign. Started to use the exercise equipment in the basement but I won't be setting any records in the near future. The bills have begun to come in from the Univ. of Michigan. I think they want to build a new wing on the hospital with what they are charging. Thank God for the great insurance we have from Laurie's school district.

Laurie's mom (Flossie) will be having her Melanoma removed from her nose on Friday. Her spirits are good and she is handling the process fairly well. It is outpatient surgery. Any extra prayers that ar lying around would be appreciated.

Hope this finds all that are still tuning in to the blog in good health and good spirits. Regards, Bob

Homefront

Tomorrow, Thursday, will be four weeks post opereration. Things are going fine. I am a little surprised at the slow pace of the recovery. I do a few things and am fairly tired after the fact.

Had my first appointment with my cardiologist on Tuesday since we've been back in town. All is well. I can not drive for another month. The incision pain is tolerable but I must be careful no to do too much to strain the breast bone. I bought an iphone and have had the time to do a lot of fun things with it. Have downloaded music and pictures from our computer which is a snap. The apps for the phone are simply amazing.

Laurie's cold is on the run and she is sounding better. Laurie took her Mom to another doctor's appointment today. Her Mom (Flossie) has her procedure to remove the melonoma next week.

We have another 5 inches of snow today. The neighbors and Laurie have been keeping up with the shoveling and snow blowing. I'm out of the snow removal business this season. A big thank you to the neighbors for helping out. That's all the news from Neenah for the moment. Thanks to all for the support. Bob
