Today was a good for Philip. He had a good nights sleep and woke up with a big smile on his face. My friend Sandra called to say she was going to Trader Joe’s and did I need anything. Philip asked if he could go with her and he did. Then two gentlemen from the community came over and Philip went to lunch with them. Philip always loves being with people and the opportunity to get out made him feel like a normal guy. My heart swells when anything positive comes into his life. I want to grab hold and keep it going. I pray for more good days for Philip and look ahead to the time when he will have completed the transplant process and he is living a life with better health.

Testimonials
Thanks so much for forwarding the post-op piece SO YOU'RE HAVING SHOULDER SURGERY; I did read your work and was highly impressed with the clarity and granularity of your overview. It seems like it is the summation of all of the valuable anecdotal advice that slips thru the cracks and is never codified or appropriately transmitted when patients are scheduled for surgery or discharged. You are performing an extremely valuable service!!!

Hey guys! Glad there’s some light in your days. You’re all such brave fighters. I look forward to seeing Philip heal and feel better.
Your new friend,
Sara
Thank you for the advice. I’ve found your first point to be most effective.
I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the opinions that this is working for you as well.
