Good Test Results

On Monday, I had good news from my appt. at the transplant center. The creatine levels are stable and blood chem levels are normal. The drain tubes in my kidney and abdomen are doing their job and have to stay in for another 30 days at least. I wish they could be removed but as long as I am getting better, I can put up with them. My eye is doing well.....on Tues., the doc said that I am healing well and probably will not need surgery. We will check again in a month. Thank you all for the well wishes and emails.

I must be feeling better.......Saturday Sandy and I are going to the Merryman Performing Arts
Center for a Buddy Holly retrospective called "Rave On." Remember "Peggy Sue" and "Oh Boy?"

TWO STEPS FORWARD AND ONE STEP DOWN...



..to paraphrase Ed G. Well It was great weather...80 degrees so I decided to go get my toy out of winter storage (I hadn't seen it in 7 months), and I felt like acting like I was 16 again out drag racing Ron Weingart and Jim Sorensen.


Well, everything went well. I had a great drive and took the Vette home and parked it. Here is where I went wrong. I decided to go back the the rented garage and make sure it was all cleaned out. To make a long story short, there was a sunken piece of concrete in between the sidewalk and curb caused by the spring thaw, and you guessed it.....I tripped and fell. The end result was severe bruises, cuts, and worst of all, I shattered the bottom of my eye socket. The opthamalic surgeon says that he believes that the socket will heal without reconstructive surgery. I hope he is right.

Everyone have a nice Easter, and remember I'll be keeping an eye out for you all.
