Going Home

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008 by Tappy

We didn’t fall off the edge of the earth there just hasn’t been a whole lot going on. But the pace is picking up and we thought we should send along a note to let you all know we’re still alive.

This week is especially busy with a barrage of tests which will determine whether we will be able to leave for home as planned on the 30th of March. Things continue to go very well. My numbers keep improving and I’m able to endure more demanding exercise.

Our social life is becoming a busy one as well. We have been getting lots of invitations for lunches and dinners and we’re able to get out more now that I’m not tied to that cursed oxygen .

We had a visit from our son Ed recently and my Brother Mike and his wife Florence will be arriving for a week starting on the 18th.

We’ll soon have to start saying our good-byes to the many, many friends that we made here and all the people that helped us out along the way. It won’t be easy. At the same time we’re looking forward to seeing all our friends at home whom we haven’t seen in a long, long time.

We plan to spend two nights on the road going home and will stop off in Halifax for a couple of days with the boys and their families. Then it’s on to the Cape and when the front tires hit the Island I’m getting out and kissing the ground.
