Yes, the big news this week is that after a month of being a shut-in I'm driving again! I doubt I'll be taking any long road trips for a while, but at least I'm able to pick Brooke up from school in the afternoon rather than depending on family and friends for that. Driving has also been good for my neck. My incision starts behind my right ear and runs down my neck a bit, and my neck muscles are still pretty tender and tight from being cut. So driving has forced me to turn my head in all directions to loosen up those muscles.
I'm also happy to report that I'm completely over the flu and, miracle of miracles, Jeff and Brooke have not gotten it yet.
This week I'm finally starting to feel like my "old self" a little bit. I can help out with some household chores, which I think Jeff appreciates. And just getting out of the house has been a big breakthrough. We even went out for dinner on Saturday night, which was a pretty big deal for me. I'm slowly trying to cut back on the Tylenol I'm taking because I'm still on the maximum daily amount, but that should improve in time as well. And so far my hearing is still good on my right side so I'm hopeful it's going to stick around for the long term. I'm also hoping the weather stays warm so I can get outside and start walking. Jeff and Brooke took me for a short walk last night (about four blocks or so), which doesn't compare to the three-mile route I usually take but it's a start.
It's funny, when we went to dinner on Saturday I told Jeff, "I can't believe everyone is raving about how nice out it is because I think it's terribly cold." He reminded me that we were experiencing about a 40 degree increase from previous temps, but I wouldn't be able to compare it to the frigid temps because I've been asleep for the last four weeks!
I hope you are all well and enjoying the "heat wave." Thanks again for your prayers and support - we greatly appreciate it! I miss everyone and hope to see many of you soon.

Good day everyone, two months ago I was diagnosed with (urethral cancer), which had caused me a great deal of pain and pressure on my bladder. My doctor insisted that there was no other choice but to go under the knife. So everyday I was online searching for herbal medication. I never want to undergo any surgery. so. I have so many testimonies on how they were healed by dr. Imoloa herbal medication. without wasting time i contacted him (dr. Imoloa). on how to get the herbal remedies. I received the herbal package in less than a month, and I followed the steps and procedure on how I should be taking it. and one months later I was scheduled for an ultrasound check: it was shocking. The cancer had completely gone, I had consulted my doctor and canceled the surgery and with your dedicated counseling guidance I managed to completely treat the urethral cancer, along with the pain and anxiety that this condition had inflicted on me. a big thanks to God almighty, thank you Dr. Imoloa for the powerful herbal medication you have to cure people. you reach him on Email- drimolaherbalmademedicine@gmail.com WhatsApp number- +2347081986098.
