Philip really enjoys the changing of the colors in the fall so Shelly and I had thought we would take him on a short ride to the mountains. Frankly he didn’t look great when he woke up, but we thought we would try it just to give him some pleasure. When the final moments to leave arrived he just looked and us and said ya know I am really not up to it. I really thought the decision was a good one, but I felt badly. Forty years old and not feeling well enough to take a 1 ½ hour trip in the car to see something that you love. We all decided to look forward to next year and hope that the transplant is complete and he is recovering and able to make the trip.

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!!!

I thought it was going to be some boring old post, but it genuinely compensated for my time. I will post a link to this page on my blog site. I am sure my site visitors will find that very useful.
You made various fine points there. I did a search on the theme and found the majority of people will agree with your blog.
