Feeling thankful.

It is one of those times when I am feeling a shift in thinking. We are transitioning to spending more time in our villa in Bowling Green. Ron seems to have a preference for being here. We have no steps inside, and we are so much closer to the grocery store and other places to shop. We get out every day, so he can walk awhile. Even so, I know that it is really not enough exercise for him, and he has chosen to no longer go to out patient PT. He does occasionally use the stationary bike. It would be dangerous for him to walk with only the cane for any distance.
Next week Ron has treatments on 3 days in Ann Arbor. Hopefully that will boost him, so we can travel at Thanksgiving. He will also have another batch of serum eyedrops made from his blood.
All of the above: DONE!
Things went smoothly during appointments 3 of the last 4 days. Ron should be "tuned up" until December! His appointments are treatments to control his graft versus host disease which is an autoimmune disease and the other infusion boosts his immunity. His central line, a neostar, balked at one of his treatments, but a power flush got it working right. He has had this line since April 2014, and it is needed for his ECP treatments and makes life a lot easier for blood draws and other infusions.
Things at the lake are pretty much wrapped up for the winter. I sold the pontoon which felt like more of a relief than sadness. Bittersweet. It caused me grief on more than one occasion this summer. There is raking that needs to be done yet, but Ron always said to wait until all of the leaves are down!
I am starting to get a little excited about the first snowfall, even though it was in the 60s and 70s this week. At the same time, I am hoping that this winter won't seem so long. Planning to spend more time at the villa and planning on NOT getting snowed in at the lake this year.
Hope that you have exciting plans for a Happy Thanksgiving! We plan to spend the holiday with Matt's and Niccole's families in Virginia.
Love, Ron and Jan
