Wed. update

Joe's still about the same.  However I just found out they're trying to wean him off the respirator today.  It's a long process and may not work yet—that's the way it usually goes.  Not fun for him, but he'll feel much better when it's over.  He'll be able to complain.

I spent yesterday afternoon pulling fresh veggies from Becca's wonderful garden.  We made a huge pot of sauce with fresh tomatoes, eggplant parmesan with fresh eggplants, roasted fresh beets, fresh string beans, fresh herbs, mostly basil, and I learned to dig sweet potatoes.  A very satisfying and centering evening.  And cats to pet, too.  Love, Gay
