Busy Day, Good News Day

We had a good night’s sleep and was ready to go!  Sue fixed breakfast, we cleaned up, and we were off and running.  First to the hair parlor, then the bank, and then to  the cleaners.  Lunch was at the Yucutan Grille in Seal Beach.

Good Grub!

Now time for the truth!  Off to the Cardiac Doctor for the first post-op visit.  He was amazed that we were doing 45 minute walks already.  He said no need for cardiac re-hab!  Just keep walking.  He adjusted the “meds” a bit.  Paul has a small amount of “water” on the lungs which the lasix ought control!  We are going to see him next Thursday before Catalina.

We returned home and Paul did some picking and Sue did some cooking.

The one in front was a little too big…  We love the baby squash!

Cooked but need to have the bean extracted from the cover.  Pretty easy to do IF you have small fingers.

We watched three episodes of The West Wing before crashing around 22:00.

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
