Thank you to all who have served..... today, Veterans Day, we went out to eat... Olive Garden, he got a free meal, soup and lasagna, and I got a spouse appreciation dinner from him..... Shrimp Carbonara for me, brought my soup home for him....
He is able to eat more and more, just no bites....
Journey to receiving a LVAD HeartMate iii pump.... while traveling, Larry had 3 heart attacks, this is my story of how he survived and was able to get home and receive his Left Ventricle Assist Device... I am his wife, and there were many moments I thought he would not live. I began writing this as a way to update our family and friends... Larry has begun making his own posts.... another step to our new normal lifestyle....

Is it good or is it not so good?
Not really sure.
Larry went to the dentist yesterday for second denture appointment. Seems like his bones on his jaw are still very sharp.... went to the Oral surgeon today, and good is he does not want to go back in for surgery, but would rather do each point one at a time with a tiny cut and a few micro stitches... ONE AT A TIME, But in clinic, about a week apart...
So now he will possibly be without chewers for a little while longer.....

We did it....
We did our first rv trip since THE TRIP...... laugh, that is what it was....
But we did it, a week in the RV, again.... not like our past two month at a time trips, but this felt like a major accomplishment.... and It was...
Larry drove, i followed him in the jeep..... we were just going 15 miles or so to North Little Rock Riverfront RV Park, but it was our trial run....
we met up with 10 other RVers... total of 23 of us, and had a fun filled week..... lots of fun, lots of food, and lots of hugs.... none of these friends have seen him since he received his LVAD.... but we have talked to them and texted with them... and they have been there for us when we needed them.
They came here from Seattle, Arizona, Tennessee, Texas, Indiana, Illinois, and Arkansas... I so love our friends....
One of our friends has a 20year old capuchin monkey... Sena. She is so much fun to watch, and Barb was kind enough to share her with all of us.... but to me the highlight of Sena’s visit was the time with Anna and Hayes. I have never seen Sena reach out and go to someone like she did with Anna..... I know Anna will remember this...
One more final dinner was tonight... we met them at Cracker Barrel, we are home, they are leaving tomorrow... safe journey my friends, Thank you for giving us these hours of love and laughs...
