One year later

I just finished(nearly) composing the latest blog when it suddenly disappeared. I don't feel like doing it all over right now, so here are the basics. One year ago today, was the last surgery leading to the condition I am in now, which is "pretty good". I haven't taken a pain pill for many months. I have no problem eating or sleeping, and I am starting to do things to catch up for the two years of inability to do things. I can walk fairly well, but am still a little clumsy. I need some more time to improve my flexability and endurance, but that will happen. Next week we are going to Busch Gardens and SeaWorld to see their Christmas programs. We will also go to Clearwater Beach to visit Dick Diamond, my roommate at Grove City College many years ago. It has been quite a while since we have seen him. Laura also wants to visit "Winter" at Clearwater Beach Aquarium. "Winter" is a dolphin who does not have a tail. Apparently a prothesis has been fitted so he has an artificial tail which enables him to swim.

We have acquired material to finish the roof on our new shed. We have been boat riding. Big alligators are still out sunning themselves. More later.
