This is the post from last week. Just to fill you in a little.
Thank you all for your kind words and messages of support. I just wanted to let you all know that Steve has a new stent, and was released from the hospital on Tuesday.
We spent a couple more days near the hospital, but he seems to be doing well and we started for home on Thursday. He can't drive for about 7-10 days, so it will be a slower trip home with only one driver, but we are on our way.
It has meant the world to me to know I have your support, and I have some fodder for several new columns.
Again, thank you all for your kind words!
And here’s where we are now.
Sorry I haven't checked in this week - it's been a bear!
We got home Tuesday night, grabbed some dinner and unloaded the car. Well, I unloaded the car, handing Steve items that were under his 10 pound limit. I did a little laundry, put clean sheets on the bed, unpacked the clean clothes (thanks to the washer and dryer at out son's place!), and collapsed.
Wednesday I went back to the office, as there were important meetings at the end of the week and I needed to get ready. The good news there is that we got through all six (!) of those meetings mostly unscathed, and I am making remarkable progress on my special projects. I am very much looking forward to me re-re-retirement soon!
Steve is doing well, far better than anyone would have expected, given what he went through. We will know more after we meet with his cardiologist later this week, though we know more treatment is in his future.
Thank you all again for all your support and understanding. It's been three weeks of stress, exhaustion, and distraction, but it feels like we are starting to come out the other side - but I refuse to jinx it by saying it's over!
