Our little Bathing Beauty Ruby Rose last week
Today Adele leaves me for Solebury and a visit with her sister. She will be back Wed afternoon - but this is the first time since transplant that we have been apart, shy of her being in the hospital. I am so glad she is going, and that she feels good enough to do this herself.
Oh, I guess it would help to say, I was so worried about her car, we bought her a new Malibu last week. Then I know she will be OK going by herself. It even has OnStar - so I really know she is safe. Of course with under 80 miles on it I am making sure she knows not to drive it too long at one speed. Need to break in that engine properly. Regular gas instead of Premium and much better mileage - what else could I ask for! When we travel to Baltimore on July 30th, and Augusta in August (HOT!) we will see more what traveling mileage is like. With me driving I would be happy with just the 33 highway it advertises.
July 30th is our "6 Month John Hopkins Full Checkup" and I am sure it will show everything to be great. Adele is not of the same feeling, but has times where she wants to believe me. After that we can get to GA for one more visit this summer, and then Julie, Eric and Ruby come up to PA for his brother's wedding in late September. We convinced them to come for a week and see everyone while they are here - instead of just 4 days including travel.
That's everything for now. Status is "Hopeful and Happy". Pictures still on picasaweb.google.com/rstauffer43 .. Both Adele and I have joined Facebook (email lookup is rick@ephrata.com or adele10@ptd.net).
Thanks for everything - especially your prayers.
Rick
