And a further Sunday report

Marty managed to go downstairs and outside to repair the windshield wipers on our ancient Saab (pictured here from last Spring). He also took out the recycling and garbage and helped me clean the apartment. Although these may not sound like hugely demanding activities, they all required stamina and strength for someone in early stages of recovery from major surgery.

After our very kind and thoughtful friend Jean drove me to the grocery store and home again, I took myself out to the movies by bus. While I was out, our dear friend Kenny brought Marty a pile of books! Kenny is our best source for reliable book recommendations, as well as my excellent haircutter and all around great person. Thank you Kenny and Jean for your kindness today!!

Marty unfortunately experienced some cramping and digestive distress this afternoon, for no reason that we can figure. This puts us on alert that all may not be predictably smooth sailing. as we had hoped.

He will go to the urologist tomorrow and, fingers, toes and legs crossed, have the catheter removed, which would increase his level of comfort enormously. Everybody, cross your legs for Marty!
