Well,
He got it and it is a whopper, the cut goes all the
way from under his arm.  He is very very sore today,
and right now at dialysis since 6 AM  I heard the
bruin, it is very strong.  Coming home from the
Phila hospital back to Jersey was a nitemare, we
spent over 3 hrs on the wonderful Garden State
Turnpike with horrible traffic jam.
Thanks so much for all of your wonderful wishes and
thoughts for us, I hope everyone has a great day
and for those in cold areas-Stay Warm!! It is freezing
here today! :snowman;

That's wonderful news!  I haven't been on the Garden State Parkway for about ten years.  The traffic was always bumper to bumper and either stopped or moving ten to twenty five miles over the speed limit. The best view I ever had of it was in my rear view mirror when I left the area.

Good healing Les and I'm glad it's working good.  Garden State pkwy? I don't like driving on the east coast period. Upstate NY isn't too bad but I drove 18 wheels and I had my fill of the east.

No, no exercise ball yet.  With this type of fistula I think
you have to wait to begin usingthe ball.

YEA!!!!  Glad to hear that Les got his fistula!  I believe I had to wait a week or two before I could start exercising mine.  Hope his recovery goes smoothly!
