Mid-Week Virtues

There are definite virtues to sleeping to 6 am: Kona is more willing to walk then, for example. Lately Dennis has been awakening very early, when the sun is up, but today he woke at 6. He goes to sleep about 9 pm and I usually wait to add to the blogspot at the end of the day.
Today was catchup day. I baked apple pies today while Dennis read the mountain of medical records and information, doctor's reports and studies. I think he has made some headway in understanding his condition and his options. I was able to get a few hours of work in in the afternoon. Thanks to three generations of troop Cole from Ketchikan, Dennis's 22 foot Hewescraft fishing boat is now in the driveway. Thanks also to the large numbers of people inquiring, calling and sending letters, and bearing gifts-we are overwhelmed by everything from the time you spend with us to banana bread sales to Alaska Airlines passes. Thank yous just don't seem to be able to reflect how we feel.
Kona must be feeling better. She greeted me with her traditional stuffed plush game bird in her mouth when I returned home tonight.
The staples in Dennis's incision are due to come out Friday. Another milestone in a week already filled with them. Talk with you tomorrow, F&D
