Still off visiting family but it's beginning to get like a fish. After three days, it begins to smell a little. I think I just long to be home and to be able to live out of the house than out of the suitcase and to do my own things. Still thinking about the surgery and getting plent of advice from people who have been through it and those who have not. Some of it might be good. I will probably do my own thing in the end anyway. I have a full week of tests when I get back between a stress test and going to the VA hospital for a cardiac check-up. After we get back, I will only have three months left with the church as they won't be keeping me on after March 31. May the Lord bless us as we end this year and get ready for the next.
