Sometimes I miss not writing, but not sure what to say at times....   Larry has been doing really good, improving and getting strength back.  Able to walk now without getting short of breath.  If it weren't for his cords and bags, you woukd not know what he has been through....  i find myself looking at him and just smiling at him.....  he understands.

Nightly snack has become popcorn instead of ice cream....  always has to share some....

Went to clinic today to get INR tests to check for his coumadin dosage...  until his machine gets in, we have to do this weekly....  

when we got to the 4th floor to clinic, it was like reunion week.  The only other 2 LVAD patients that were in the hospital with Larry were both there as well....  both are men, and I had talked to both if their wives many times....  one guy was a week ahead of Larry, the other was a week behind....   they were there for doctor visits, one lives in Searcy, the other in Benton...

We were all out there chatting and comparing notes when Dr Ransom walked by....  of course he smiled and joked about it....

Btw, I offered to let Larry iff at the door, he chose to walk...  we were at the far end of the parking lot.  He did great....   when Tori asked how rehab was going, he mentioned his walk, and she agreed he us doing well on own rehab...

Sure wish I had gotten a group photo....  will try to do that at the reunion dinner in June.

Then I requested a trip to Home Depot... i bought new led undercounter lights... and I got 3 of the 5 mounted too, one has to be returned tomorrow for a longer size before I can do those 2... oh also beed a new drill bit, I broke the one I was using......  LOL, one of Larrys...  i dont own a drill, i do have my own dremmel, and power screwdriver.....  that I keep hidden from him.....
