I'm writing from our Gainesville hotel room. Vernon has a 2 year biopsy of his heart and a general check-up bright and early tomorrow morning. We are to be at the cath lab at 6:45 AM so we drove here after work today. We plan to return home Tuesday afternoon and should receive the results of all the tests Wednesday by phone from our coordinator. The biopsy checks for rejection of his heart and other tests will evaluate how his heart is functioning.

We really enjoyed seeing the night nurses at the hospital after eating dinner. We didn't get to do that when here for the reunion.

In other news, we are still waiting to receive the contact information of the donor family.

No more sightings of the otters, though every time I stand at the kitchen window I look for them. I also look in the neighbor's tall oak tree where ospreys like to perch and eat their catch. And there is another place to look where a kingfisher rests on a post in the water. Often, a great blue heron is standing still on the beach.

That's all for now. Really need to get to bed!
