Exhale even further...

Saw the urologist last Friday - I no longer need to take Flomax, which he prescribed two years ago and I don't need to see him until February; I don't even need to take a blood test the week before my next appointment with him.  Went to the eye doctor for my yearly exam - I don't need a new glasses prescription, either.  I'm counting my blessings - positive medical news for once.  

I even went so far as to book the plane tickets for our next vacation - Hilton Head Island, in August of next year.  I'd booked the hotel and the rental car, but wanted to wait until I'd had the surgery.  And I made a "vanity purchase" - I bought myself something I'd wanted since I was 19 years old - a Gaggia espresso/cappuccino maker.

It's been a very good week.  I'll take every win possible.

And soon enough, it'll be Thanksgiving - and I always look forward to that.  Even the grocery shopping.
