So its been a month

Good evening,
I am one week from being able to pilot my own car but for now I'm enjoying the company, great to have the house filled with happy, joyful family.  Clayton prepared some very good mac and cheese with baked top tonight, Jerry edged the front yard to make it all look better and I cranked out appraisals, yes I'm working full days now and Jerry drives me through traffic he hates but he does it just the same.

I'm feeling strong, yes I have pain and when a cough or sneeze I'm reminded that I'm not healed yet.  I'm sleeping well, talk to Moon many times every day and can't wait to see her again soon.  she is still with her friend and her family in Atlanta and is getting some very good meals but is still up late talking to Crystal and her mom, they both need her so much.

I'm loving feeling better, I do get tired and often am sleepy and worn out after seeing a property, I just put my head back and nap while Jerry drives and Clayton guides with his trusty smart phone.

I am very grateful to God for this recovery, flawless so far and a very strong heart, no flutter or A-Fib in days now for which I'm grateful as well.

Sending love from our house to yours tonight,

Tim

Moon day

Its finally happening, I'm recovering at a rapid rate now, been working all day today, we've seen a local place, then drove to Castro Valley, had lunch at the China Café, was good, then back to continue working at my desk most of the rest of the day.  Clayton keeps me fed, Jerry makes sure I'm not overtired and urges rest at times.  These are great caregivers, just the right amount of encouragement but let me continue to do things, at this point in next week I'll be almost ready to drive, can drive on the 26th and can't wait.
I've learned a lot about patience, about outright pain, about being tired and about accepting help from others.  These guys are as good as it gets in giving support, could not ask for more.
Today is Moon day, one of the 4 biggest celebrations of the year in China, there are Moon cakes, they appear to be delicious and Moon has received over 25 greetings from friends around the world because her name is Moon and people tend to connect the day with her.  A few minutes ago we had a nice time together as she prepares to talk to Crystal again and then get some rest.  I do enjoy this woman and I feel like I've found a rare, loyal, caring family oriented woman who needs me and enjoys caring for me and being with me through so many things together.  I'm thankful to our Father in Heaven who allowed us to find each other in this vast world, really very happy.

Keanna's play has started and plays many nights, its Dr. Dolittle and they always do a great job, if interested contact me and we'll get tickets for you.

Sending love to all, my caregivers are enjoying the final of Master Chef in the other room tonight.

Surgeon update

Jason came last evening and drove Clayton and I to the Kaiser Hospital in SF today where I had an appointment with my surgeon, Dr. Allen. I'm happy to report everything is on track and I'm two weeks from driving and a full recovery.  He found no negatives today at all, an assistant worked on the incision an removed much of the glue and cleaned it up so that looks better.  I can now lift 20 pounds and I survived riding in the rear seat of my bug all day, the doctor released me to sit in the passenger seat of the car from now on.

I'm still facing a huge work load to accomplish and so far I can't sit at the work computer very long without becoming very tired, that is a problem I'm facing.  You ask, do you hurt, yes I do, I have pain in my chest for nearly everything I do but its minor now and I can handle it would pain killers, all good news.

So I am good, my brother is still driving me and today he did the front lawn, the motorhome is now clean once again and ready to use, Jason slept there last night, Clayton still cooks great meals and my life is very good all things considering, my dear friend Moon and I talk many times each day and enjoy our time together and her love and encouragement to me is incredible.  She is a woman who knows how to love family, really love family!

I send love to all,

Tim
