Mikes sees Dr. Ruziks

We had our weekly appointment with the Dr. and all went real well. Mike is tired, and his mood is up and down do to bouts of pain he is still experiencing. The doctor told Mike to take it easy and just let the recovery process happen. It will take some time to feel better. Mike's Creatnine is up to 2.0 which is still good but they are keeping a close eye on him to make sure it is not creeping up.  They said they will biopsy the kidney if the number moves again to make sure Mike is not experiencing a slow rejection of the kidney. We are taking good care of him and keeping our fingers crossed that he continues on this recovery path. 

Mike has lost 20 pounds over the past two and a half weeks. He cannot fit his pants and is very lean. So lean that the other night he was washing his hands and his wedding ring must have fallen into the drain and got flushed away by the water. I checked the pipe trap and it was no where to be found.  He was sad because he missed his ring and really liked it. 

I decided to go out the the jewelry store tonight and buy him a new gold band. One that would fit him at his new size.  He is a new man with a wonderful future ahead of him and so it along seems right that he should have a new wedding ring to replace the lost one. 

I came home and got down on one knee and asked him to be my husband. He said he yes with a smile. He loves his new ring. I love him and all is well.

By the way I wanted to thank so many more of our friends for the great cards that have been sent to Mike. Thanks to Theron, Carlota, Marilyn, and Robin for coming by and helping to take care of us.  We appreciate all our friends.
