This week

I have been trying to add a few pictures but without success. So I'll take a stab at filling you in on the first week home. As you know Turk came home with us and is doing well but still has some discomfort. We hope Joanna will be here by dinner time and they'll head back to Jax tomorrrow.
Our first outing was on Wednesday as the result of a call and invitation to attend a breakfast at a local restraunt to welcome Mitt Romney. We took a picture with Mitt and he thought it was "wonderful" that Turk had given me the kidney. I already knew that he is a very impressive guy but I was encouraged that Turk and Susan as well as much of the croud who had'nt yet heard him, were impressed.
Outside travel is interesting due to our customary attire of sweat pants and slippers. In my case at least it is the only thing that will fit. I have lost a little over 10 lbs of the 30 I gained in water during the procedure. All of this is expected but a little tiring hauling it around.
Turk and I took a drive yesterday and checked out the New River Auto Mall where Turk checked out some new wheels for Joanna who is looking for something for her new job which will require plenty of driving.
Went out today for some supplies and were happy to see the Cannons who dropped over with some lovely flowers.
We will driving back to Atlanta on Sunday for an early Monday appointment with the doctor. These weekly visits will last till December, then decrease in frequency. Turk evidently is all done and no follow ups are necessary.
We all love to read your comments and you have all made this experience that much more rewarding. We sincerely thank you.
Scott
