Oct. 2006
Ok, this is Monica again..... I really messed up Marty's post a few days ago. I thought I was just deleting a photo, but I guess you can't do that because I deleted the whole darn post. What he said in a nut shell is that He is feeling like he is not recovering as fast as he wants to. He is doing very well, it is just that he is feeling so much better now, he wants to do EVERYTHING. He recalled a nurse and a physical therapist at Scottsdale Healthcare, saying to him that for everyday you are in the hospital in bed, it will take three day's recovery. So he was in the hospital for 189 days, so that is 567 days to recover. Then add on to that the double lung transplant.....So he is doing very well. There are pictures of Marty at SHC from 2006 in a previous post; So as you can see, he is much healthier. He also talked about all of the wonderful care he received at Scottsdale Healthcare. Everyone there was great. He thanked Dr. Shah (and all of the other Dr.'s) for keeping him alive and healthy enough for the transplant.
He also had some pictures uploaded from Oct. 2006. I work with adults who have developmental disabilities and Halloween is a very special time for them, and we try to show our support to them with their activities. Well, Marty decided to go in costume, so the pictures are of him at their party.
He also wrote about our grandson Jonathan's birthday. He turned 3 on Nov. 2. He really loves his "papa". Jonathan was so proud to have helped his mom make and decorate his "pancakes with mushrooms" which is really cupcakes with marshmallows. It was just a small family birthday party, which seemed larger in our small home. Uncle Cory, Grammy, Daddy, Mommy,Aunt Susie, Uncle Greg(from Ohio), Papa, and Grandma were there. Aunt Marissa and Caleb had to work, and couldn't be there. But everyone had fun.(by the way, I can't find the picture of Jonathan and his cupcakes Marty had posted...go figure. It was in the original blog I deleted)
Thanks for being patient with me with this computer. I am again sorry for my computer illiteracy. Next time I try to help, I will make sure someone is with me who knows how to Blog.
