Spring 2025

 Spring 2025

Due to medical issues, I never got around to writing on entry in this blog until today (6/16)!

In February we celebrated Gretchen’s birthday with Jenny, who prepared a wonderful meal!

We hosted our annual Valentine's Day meal with friends!

And then I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer!  Derek and Katie played a major role in arranging for me to be treated at the Duke Cancer Center AND providing a place for us to stay during my treatments.  Thank you so much! Thank you Kelley for coming to see me in the hospital. Thank you Gretchen for caring for me through this entire ordeal! Love to all of you for your outstanding support!

Sally came to visit and check on my healing when we returned to Lynchburg.  The timing was right to celebrate her birthday! We went to the Peaks of Otter during her stay and walked around the lake on a beautiful spring day!

 

The last day of May, CVGS celebrated the 40th anniversary of its founding.  The event was attended by a large number of students, parents and faculty.  I loved seeing the people from my time at the Governor's School!

I'll end this entry by saying I am healing well from my surgery.  Each week I note something that reflects an improvement in the healing process.  Today, I'm back to a normal routine, walking everyday and feeling fine.  It will be the end of this year until  I'm totally healed!  And then I'll be able to ride my bike again!
