Hello family and friends,

It is Saturday again! I only had 2 appointments at the hospital this week. I now get my blood tested once a week on Monday. My kidney incision was getting red, so we took off the wound vac suction kit for a few days. Today the nurse came and put it back on. I have to carry it with me wherever I go !
My brother, Terry and his wife, Steph, arrived on Thursday. They are staying until Tuesday. It
was so nice to see them, it helps me be less homesick. We will make a day trip or two, but its nice just spending time with them.
If anyone would like a short vacation, come down and see us, we would love to have you.
Next week I have 2 appointments, blood work, and surgeon. They want to look at my kidney incision which still has the staples in it.
I'm starting to prepare for coming home. I am praying everything goes well so i can come home on schedule.
There is one place I want to go yet, The Alligator Farm in St. Augustine. I want to see alligators!!! I don't know if we will make it there or not.
I am counting the days. If any one has time to send me e-mails with news, even what you think may be boring, I love to get mail from home.
I miss all of you and can't wait to be back in Dover.
Love, Joy
