What a terrific weekend! And a weekend of firsts since Dan's surgeries.
On Saturday, Dan and I along with Debbie and the kids went to the Arizona Science Museum in downtown Phoenix, nearby the Convention Center - we saw Star Trek: The Experience! This is heaven for Star Trek fans like us - memorabilia, props, costumes, sets, shuttlecraft simulator, and more (check out http://www.startrek.com/custom/include/community/tour/virtual). We all took turns sitting in the captain's chair on the bridge set of Next Generation (actually, I took several turns). This was the first big "field trip" for Dan, transporting and using his wheelchair and being around a big crowd of people.
Today, we went with Dan's folks to church, Dan's first time back since his transplant on Aug. 25. It was a wonderful time of worship and thanksgiving, church members were praising God for answered prayer for us. And another first, Dan managed all his morning preparation by himself, with just a little help from me. After church, another first, we went to lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. If you haven't been there, you must go. I don't know if the menu is the same at all locations, but this location's menu was about 40 pages long! So many choices, you could eat here every day and not make it through the menu.
Dan's next Mayo visit is Tuesday at 4pm for outpatient rehab. Thanks for your prayers for Dan to regain all his strength, he is doing better each day. And fyi, his mental challenges are gone, he's back to normal (for those of you who know Dan, I know you are laughing out loud).
Thankfully,
Debbie and Dan
