It has been a long day, with Dennis rising with sun at 4 am. I could barely get up at that hour.
He is noticeably stronger, and there is less swelling at the surgery site. In fact the mastoid pain has subsided enough he is back to his old toast with cheese breakfast. Kona dog is improving too (perhaps those game meat and rice meals I have been making) and wagging her tail and watching us eat dinner like Snoopy on his doghouse. I must be doing something right, hmmmm.
Dennis called his mom today, and she was happy to hear from him. I am trying to e mail friends that have not heard from us in a while to let them know to join the blogsite. We are appreciating all the wonderful letters, thoughts, and prayers. Thanks, Sam, for the beautifully designed bird card and to the Samuelson kids-these young folks will grow up to be so caring. Thanks too to all those that contributed to the donation account mentioned in an earlier post on this blog, as we'll pay for the non medical costs of bringing Dennis's girls to Seattle before the surgery. I cannot walk in Ketchikan without people coming up and hugging me-thanks for the prayer chains and being included in everyone's thoughts and positive energies. As we make some hard decisions in the next two weeks we'll be strengthened by your support. Talk with you tomorrow, Faith and Dennis

Just got back, around midnight, from lake trout and grayling fishing up north. Had a great time, but be assured, you were in our thoughts constantly. So happy to hear you have made it home, that is huge.
Thanks for all the updates, it keeps us from annoying you too much!
