This Week's Update [4/26/15] - Happy Birthday Matthew!

[The Weekly Update is an email that was started in the fall of 2010 to keep family and friends informed of my medical condition and has continued as a review of family activities.  Written by Zelma and edited by Steve. Working on adding past issues to the blog.]

Hi All,

We had a very nice week.  Steve had a Doctor's appointment on Thursday so I took some much overdue comp time off from work.  He had an appointment with his surgeon to get fitted for a trach replacement.  Dr. Coniglio had told us about this last time Steve met with him.  He was able to get one directly from the manufacturer for Steve to try.  It is a replacement for the metal trach Steve had.  The advantage is it doesn't require any additional method to secure it in place - so no more need to have the trach band which is a big plus for Steve.  We included the picture from the last upgrade in 2011 to compare with this one.  :-).

After that, we headed to Victor to check on the house and had a nice visit with Bud and Nancy - Steve's Victor neighbors.  They were smart and spent most of the long winter in Florida.  For other news, our project for the month of May is to get Steve's house ready to sell.

I headed to Oswego to celebrate Matthew's birthday on Saturday.  Not sure how the last 21 years went by so fast - but it has definitely been rewarding!  

We had a very relaxed and enjoyable visit.  I headed home as he headed off to participate in the Relay for Life - thanks to everyone who donated to his walk.

Miles for the week are 78, miles for 2015 are 1,364 (105 rides but only 2 outside), and total miles are 12,618.

Take care,

Zelma
