Thursday is minus 4!

No, I am not talking about the first frost in Minnesota. September is a bit early for four below. I am talking about Mary's report this morning that she is four pounds down from her high weight. That's about 1/3rd of the total she gained. Good news! Between the low salt diet and the diuretics, she is slowly but surely losing the fluid weight!

Nothing to report really.

Our friends, Dave and Marge, headed for a wonderful Paris vacation this week. And, about ten hours ago Marge reported that after 20 hours on the ground, Dave was urgently called away to Taipei. So, she is stuck in Paris all alone with reservations for all sorts of neat places and restaurants. On her facebook page, she asked for "any volunteers" who'd like to join her?

Mary is doing quite well although low energy. She is eating well but small portions and often. The 5PM meal is a protein enhanced smoothie of various berries. We generally have a regular meal about 7 to 8PM and Mary eats everything that I fix but very small amounts. It makes for great leftovers. Last night was chicken breast, yams and broccoli and the chicken breast fed us for lunch today too.

Tim and Charli are on the way and should land in about an hour. Having them visit until Sunday will be a great time.
