Among the Wildflowers

G'day

I report to you from the melting city of Madison.  The bit of snow is melting vigorously.  I am a big fan of this winter.  We had the best of both worlds - pretty snow and warm days.

I started physical therapy (PT) this morning.  I am very excited to continue the exercises and stretches that my physical therapist assigned to me.  I have a drive within to progress the mending quicker than expected.  My physical therapist was great and he has my optimism soaring.  I can't ask for anything more on those fronts.

I had another dose of the magic juice last Thursday.  I was very nervous for my spinal chemo since the last couple were a bit of a struggle due to scar tissue forming.  Too many pokes of the needle.  All the worry was a waste - things went smoothly.  All of the discussions with my Northwester posse were happy reports and so the smiling carries on.

Unless if you live under a rock, you know that yesterday was Valentine's day.  I have a beautiful bouquet of lilies as a souvenir.  Ross pulled out all of the tricks.  He cooked dinner with Michael Buble crooning in the background that was lit with candles.  What a guy.

Last year we skimmed over Valentine's day because I was with Erin rocking out to Ozzy and Slash.  Great times spent with my sister.  She'll be visiting Madison this spring :)

Things have perked up a lot since the beginning of the year.  I'm going to roll with it.  Smile!
