As I have mentioned previously, I was scheduled for a second procedure of stent application. At the end of last month, however, the procedure was postponed because I finally was able to move into income-sensitive housing last week. This move comes after over four years on a waiting list.

So yesterday I had the stents installed successfully with an excellent prognosis. The recovery time frame is happily only three days. I look forward to strolling downtown on Sunday since there's a day-long Jazz Festival being held on Main Street.

The following day will be the 70th anniversary of Mrs. D's Birth. It will be an especially difficult day for everyone on both sides of our family. I'm going to rejoice in the midst of still grieving, since remembering her has become sweeter.

Thanks to everyone for your love and support!
