Blood Clots!
Today started out gloomy. Lew was struggling to put one foot in front of the other. If I didn’t run on batteries, I wouldn’t have moved at all. We weren’t thrilled about another CT scan of another part of Lew’s body. The parking lots [...]

Slow News Day
It was kinda nice to have an almost no news day. But it was a hard day too. The surprise/disappointment of having to have yet another CT scan weighs heavily.
But there was some good stuff too. Lew fixed his own lunch today — stood at the stove and made a grilled swiss cheese sandwich. I [...]

Lew woke this morning alert and feeling rested for the first time in weeks. He ate a big breakfast, showered and shaved, all before Joe arrived to check his wound. Joe is impressed with how well Lew is now healing. He says Lew makes him look good.

I got an “A”!
Joe gave me a “Solid A” for packing Lew’s tunnel yesterday! But, I wouldn’t want to be his full time apprentice. I don’t think he’d ever give an A+. Though it was fun watching his face as he kept pulling and pulling gauze out.
But that was the last time. Joe packed Lew with an algae [...]
