On the Canal

Medically, this week has been fairly uneventful. I'm still visiting the hospital and watching my numbers, which are on an upward trend, I'm happy to say. Right now I'm focusing on getting my weight back up. It took a little bit of a dive while I was in the hospital. It's ok though - I can think of worse tasks I'd have to do for recovery.  :) Bring on the pasta!

On Sunday, Jane came out to visit with the girls. I can't tell you how good it was to see them. It's been a month or more since I'd last seen them, and getting a chance to hear and see them again was a real blessing. It seems like they've grown. We took a walk to Bell's Island, which is just a hop, skip, and a jump from the apartment. Since we're on the Canal walk, it's very easy to go from here to there, as well as downtown. This is a great location.

Last week, dad and I ran into my uncle John while on the Canal walk. That was cool, because John has worked in a plant by the canal for years and so he was able to give us a rundown of the history of the area. It was great to see him and just chat for a bit.

I'm playing the Wii pretty much constantly when I'm not at the hospital or out for a walk. With the next few days promising to be rainy and cold, I expect I'll get a chance to use it even more. That device is amazing - it is incredibly diverting.

Thanks again to everyone. I hope to be on my way back soon, and I look forward to seeing and speaking with you all.
