August 29

Hi,

It's hard to believe that another week has passed so quickly. I had a very busy schedule, with school starting, getting Denny to his doctor appointments, plus the continuing project at State Street. Den managed quite well on his own here at home. It seems that the reduction in just one of his medicines (one he takes for irregular heart rhythm) has made a huge difference in his sense of balance. It's probably all tied to his blood pressure.

Den enjoyed visiting with all of the friends who stopped by this week -- colleagues, former students, and old friends. We saw all of the grandkids a couple of times, Dave is home for the weekend, and tomorrow we are going out for dinner with Pat and Patti Voss. Oh my gosh, it sounds almost like a normal life!!

As we watch the memorial service for Ted Kennedy, who was diagnosed with the exact same type of tumor just weeks before we received the news about Denny, we are grateful for these weeks of uninterrupted recovery and are reminded again to appreciate each day and give thanks for all God has given us. That includes you!!

Have a great week!

Love,
Carla

Hi Den and Carla
Enjoyed reading this blog today. It sounds like you have been pretty busy. After so many years my teaching clock still goes off in fall.I admire you both for your courage, strength and positive attitude. I am reminded of something Xavier, a landscaper. said to me the other day. Somebody complained about the weather and he said "There is no reason to complain about weather there is beauty in every type!".I have a feeling that prospective comes from life experience and gratefulness for everyday. It's all relative. It was nice to see you at Good Company and
Adam's graduation this summer. Maybe we'll cross paths again at homecoming?
Love

My sister Linda Brown sent me a note about this site. I had heard you had some trouble and have been reminded of the english class you taught at SMC fall of '74, all guys! Good to see you are having "a day" as my Dr. tells me, good or bad it's still one. Thinking of you and good luck Mr. O. Tony Weber class of '78 SMC.
