Normal

I am ready for life to be normal again.  Actually I'm sorta wondering what normal might be. This is the new normal we keep hearing.  I don't feel any different.  Ol' Abner says he still feels the same other than it's nice to take a deep breath anytime he wants and life is nice without having to drag around an oxygen tank.  We've surrendered the apartment in the bayou city and are back home permanently.  When he goes for those monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly clinic visits, we'll stay with friends or family and it will feel as much like a social event as a medically necessary trip.  We always love spending time in Houston but this long stay has given us a new appreciation for the hill county.  I love the dry sunny climate here even if we do suffer from drought issues.  A golf game is seldom interrupted by rain and thunder, but the occasional storm is appreciated. Austin area restaurants are superb, entertainment is plentiful and easy to attend. Most important, we have good friends and family here.  Yes, it is good to be home. I will to continue post from time to time on the Caring Bridge site, but I'm really ready to discuss life in the "normal" lane.
