December 18

Today has been the best day yet! Barry and I walked from my house to the hospital (about three and a half miles) at 8:30 am to get my picc line dressing changed (I guess I slept a little restless and messed it up). After that Kath, Tory, and my mom went to visit Jeff, Celeste, and their new son, Matthew, at the birthing center. Mom and I had lunch after that. Several hours after lunch, Lynne Beck, an ex-student (sixth grade) and former basketball star on one of my Albany teams, stopped by and took me for another walk (about a mile and a half). To top the day off, my wife (she's an awesome cook) fixed me steak and a baked potato! Needless to say, I did not have a dull moment and everything seemed to go great! Must be all the positive thoughts and e-mails that I am being sent by all my wonderful friends. A big thanks to all those in my Western Oregon family that sent comments on my blog. I miss you all and hope to see you in the near future! Good luck, Glen, onc those last four! You can do it! I hope everyone is getting ready for a great Christmas! Love you all!
