Birthday Wishes

OK, I know I haven't posted for a while, but we have been a bit busy around here. Our house was listed for sale last week, so we've spent a lot of time getting it ready (or mostly ready) and still going through what's going west with us and what isn't. I've done a lot of heavy lifted lately. Deb isn't allowed to lift heavy stuff during her recovery. I've noticed that even some small weights aren't comfortable for her to lift or carry, but that doesn't surprise me.

Deb has been a real trooper so far in her recovery, though. She remains very upbeat throughout the process. The routine lately has been to visit the plastic surgeon on every Tuesday afternoon to have the tissue expander incrementally inflated, and then spend most of Wednesday (and sometimes part of Thursday) recovering from that. This seems to be the biggest source of discomfort for her, but again that doesn't surprise me. The current plan is to continue the "inflation" process for the next few weeks before she reports back to work, and then to wait a couple of months before removing the expander and putting in the permanent (relatively speaking) implant sometime in October.

Today, however, is a special day (as if you couldn't tell from the title of this post). That's right - Deborah turns 29 years old today ... plus a little bit. So far all we've done is work on sorting through the basement while the carpet cleaning guys were here this morning and run to Target with a stop for lunch (at Five Guys - one of Deb's favorites). I think the afternoon plan is for her to take a nice nap on the sofa and then we'll go meet friends for dinner at RouXbarbs, which is another of her favorites.

So now you can wish her a speedy and complete recovery and a happy birthday.

PS: Wanna buy a house? We know of a good one on the market right now ...
