I want to thank those of you who prayed for me and John and sent your positive energy on our behalf.  Here's the latest good news.  I no longer use a shower chair, for feel of falling.  There are enough things to grab to prevent falls.  I know how to be careful and what can cause me to be at risk.  I no longer need to be pushed in the traveler wheelchair anywhere.  I have enough stamina to walk anywhere on my own, even the perimeter of Costco.  John is doing well, with the help of all his new meds.  Sound seems to distract him too much, so   silence isi the norm around here most of the time.    Any  more than a half hour of a favorite show is now annoying.   But he started a new habit of simply sitting and watching the sunset over  the mountains.  Donna and I are doing our best to get out for a half hour walk twice a week.  John will walk with me in between when I ask.   But the quirkiest thing was I got a commplment from a checkout woman on my "haircut".  I explained it's actually the opposite, how my hair's growing in after chemo.  I guess it's time to pay attention to how it looks when I go out.  The  fourth photo is from when John and I walked the roads in South Whidbey State Park.  The last photo is of Donna on the Trustland Trails, our weekly walking site.
