Just a quick update while I'm feeling fit: good news from the kidney specialist...she's says they are okay and of only minor concern should it come to surgery. That is a HUGE relief. Next step is the pulmonary specialist, then the cardio to talk about having valves replaced in m' old ticker. I still hope it won't come to that, BUT I am willing if it is necessary and will improve life. Thanks, again, for all of your kindnesses, phone calls, cards, etc.

At least energy-wise, the Getaway seems it could be a real goal this year!
