4 weeks ago today that Larry received his LVAD.  his is a HeartMate III, the newest model......  thank yous over and over to Dr Steve Hutchins and Dr John Ranson, and their awesome team....

In some ways it seems like forever ago, things are settling in, although still tired, Larry feels great.  No more fighting for a breath, in fact very little shortness of breath at all....  no pain, even his muscular aches and pains seem better.  He hasnt yet started cardiac rehab, but that will be soon, it is a 3x a week exercise program.....  

His appetite has returned and we are really enjoying the HomeChef meals.  The tastes are superb....  and it helps me out because it is all there ready to cook.....   so I will continue with them for a bit, until I can get my iron infusions and get to feeling stronger....

I did go buy Larry some smaller pants... he couldnt keep his old ones up anymore....  poor thing, his legs and arms are as thin as I have ever seen him...   trying to get him to drink more MuscleMilk....

Last night got a Facetime call....   Aiden's sweet little 3 year old face came on, and he couldnt even say hi to me, he said he wanted to talk to Dziadzia......  lol  they have some magic connection....  about midway through, Madi and Jackson got home, so we got to talk to them all....  and since my easter cards to them had just arrived, we watched them open them....  Aiden proceeded to put the stickers on the ipad on Larrys face....   yep, that was a nice way to end the day....

Green is the vista, all of the trees have burst in shades if green, and everything else is covered in yellow pollen.....

And now it is breakfast time.....  half a cup of coffee with mocha..... both doggies on my lap, and i am very contented....  but need to get up and move, there are things to do and people to see....  even if they are dental people...... SMILE.
