I continue to feel better each week, and better again since my last post. Not much progress on the feet, dang it, but the big event last week was that on Friday I had my medi-port removed! Was I glad to see the last of that clot-causing nasty thing. My surgeon removed it with just a local anasthetic, so we were chatting while she was working away, and when she pulled it out she says, hey, I think there is a clot in it! Duh, was my response! I was a bit sore after the surgery, but so glad to be done with that thing.
Then, we enjoyed a beautiful weekend and actually got out on a short outing. Bert, Rachel and I went and had lunch in Georgetown and saw a stone house built in 1750. Then we toured a beautiful garden on the hill in Georgetown owned by Harvard. It was a little too early, garden just coming into spring with some crocus and other bulbs, but still beautiful, and amazing to find a big chunk of garden in such a dense part of the city.
I was pooped when we got home, but it was sure nice to be out in the sunshine, it was in the 70's.
Monday I flew to Memphis TN for a conference. My co-w0rkers were there too, but it was mostly a tug and barge conference, so we were pretty much bored. We did go out and have Memphis barbeque and hear some blues, and we did a drive-by of Graceland, so that was fun. United airlines arranged not to have my luggage arrive with me (2 days later) boo!
We are still going back and forth on our house offer. Technically it has been accepted, but we are going back and forth over a sewage inspection which we are insisting on (Duh again). Meanwhile, Bert is planning his garage, and visiting the county office to talk about building permits. We should have a firm acceptance by Monday. I have never seen a real estate deal take so long! Amazing. Our seller lives in Pennsylvania, and doesn't use fax machines or FedEx.
Today, we are off to see Impressionist art at the National Gallery. Sunny like last weekend, but only 35 today instead of 75! two weeks until Cherry Blossom Festival, so hope it warms up by then.
