Carol is resting at home today. It's difficult to get any rest in a hospital. I shot this picture of her as we were getting ready to bring her home. Sharing the picture is her new buddy that I got to keep her company in the hospital. Now we can look forward to our 56th wedding anniversary on the 13th.

So, at least that is over! Now Carol has to have some tests to check her Mitral valve to see if it has become less efficient. She spent over a year in bed with Rheumatic Fever when a girl and it was touch and go as to her recovery. The illness left her heart valves damaged. She had the Aortic valve replaced with an artificial one in 2003. Through it all, she maintains a positive, happy outlook though she endures much. What a girl!
