Thanksgiving 2005

We had Thanksgiving at the Transplant House today. The dinner was pot luck. We bought two turkey breasts at the grocery store. A lady brought in 25 pounds of turkey breast last night and there was a whole turkey. I carved and sliced the turkeys. It was just enough turkey to feed everyone with some left over. There were lots of people here for the dinner. We met a very nice couple who we ate lunch with and visited with for several hours afterward.

We went for a walk about four. The temperature was 18 degrees and the wind was blowing out of the west at about five miles per hour or so. We made it about five blocks and back - ha.

Thanksgiving is a time to think about what you are thankful for. When you have spent several days at Mayo clinic, it is easy to find lots of things to be thankful for usually health related. I'm just glad to be in a place where I have the confidence the doctors can help me and give me the best possible treatment. Other than that, there are probably a million other things too numerous to mention to be thankful for. You might not care to spend the next eight or ten hours reading about it either (you can be thankful for that). May God bless everyone on this special day!
