First, thanks for all the advise.  It was all helpful.  I am not planning on doing anything rash, and today was much better than yesterday.  There were two momentous things that happened today.  The first one was that David walked a bit.  First a short distance with a walker and the Physical Therapist’s help, and then two longer walks with a brace on his knee.  The second was we had a great FaceTime chat with Ales, Claire and Theo.  It was great to see the happy family!

We also had some visits today from Nancy Hoffman and Peter Greenwald, Jackie and Marjorie.
