Side view of my plates – latest X-ray\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

One good thing about having this bum leg is staying inside all day during this heat wave, except for my short forays to physical therapy. Work was particularly busy this week, too (who knew teleworking could be so engaging?).<\/p>\n

I had more good friends stop by! Berenice was here last Sunday morning for coffee, en route to Islamabad; Karen from Asunci\u00f3n came over Monday after work on her way to Guyana; my friend and manager Angela came Friday after work; and yesterday morning Scott and Kelly brought homemade muffins and joined us for coffee – they\u2019re in town to deliver their baby in a few weeks. It\u2019s great to see everyone.<\/p>\n

My cousin David had a successful surgery down in Houston this week – I\u2019m so happy it went well and he\u2019s recovering. He\u2019ll be in the hospital another week or so.<\/p>\n

John and I watched the documentary about Apollo 11 last night in honor of the 50th anniversary of man walking on the moon. This morning we watched \u201cApollo 13,\u201d another incredible story. I wish we could go see the Apollo tribute at the Washington monument. We also watched an interesting documentary about Scottish wild cats (who knew?), and a movie about the failed presidential run of Gary Hart back in the day. I finished a booked called \u201cThe Secretary\u201d that John picked up for me at the library.<\/p>\n

My sweet friend Wendy sent me these delicious covered Oreos that we\u2019ve been enjoying this week! They actually went to the hospital in Seattle first, and were forwarded here – and they\u2019re still good!<\/p>\n
