A new eatery, The Ridge, serving sandwiches and pizzas, has recently opened just a block from the hardware store where Marty has worked for umpteen years. The Ridge's owners have named various of their selections after local institutions: The Firefighter, The Community Center, Ken's Market and (drum roll, please) Marty's Meatball Sando! Thank you people at The Ridge! Of course, Marty is the unofficial Mayor of Greenwood as well as the neighborhood Mr. Fix-it. And now has his own sandwich!
Long overdue expression of appreciation to Marty's co-workers at the hardware store who have been unfailingly kind, concerned and considerate during his hospitalization, recovery and return to work. Special thanks to Mike and Willow for willingness to schedule Marty according to his recovery, and to Ryan for assisting me with deliveries while Marty was in the hospital. Millions of thanks!
Marty is slowly but steadily improving with some steps backward and incremental steps forward. He is gradually increasing his range of food choices, so far with no terrible outcome. His appetite remains non-existent, but hopefully with increased intake of a variety of foods, this may change. His color has improved. He sleeps more soundly and has a bit more energy every day.
Next medical procedure is kidney stone removal on February 8. This will be a day surgery with no hospital stay required. We hope for his increased health and stamina prior to this procedure, as well as steadily continued improvement overall.
I love it!!!!
