He actually told me tonight that he was feeling BETTER!!! That just makes my day. I'm pretty sure he is feeling better because he was able to push the wheelbarrow this evening with some grass sod in it and didn't get completely winded. I asked him to not push it, to let me do it - but he just hates to see me do physical work, even though I usually do it because he just can't.

Anyway, we needed to lay down some sod over bare ground after we had our rock work done a few weeks ago. He went to the sod store today and bought it (they loaded it) and then we had to carry it to the back yard in the wheelbarrow. He helped me lift the pieces out of the truck bed and lay them on the wheelbarrow. The individual pieces of sod were not very heavy so it was OK. Then I was in the backyard scraping away some dirt to lay the sod and here he comes with the loaded wheelbarrow. Again, it was not very heavy so I could have easily done it - but he seemed OK pushing it and didn't get completely out of breath. I try to let him do what he can - don't want him to think that I think he is an invalid!

I laid down the sod and he sat and watched me. Afterwards we sat on the back porch and talked - the weather is so glorious this time of year in Texas. And he told me he was feeling better!!! YEA!!!

Thanks so much for asking! Oh and about me - well, I've been pretty busy at work, so not taking it too easy. BUT, I have been leaving earlier than usual, so that helps! I do try to take care of myself. I'm letting some projects go that I could be working on - but I just don't have the energy or want-to. So, yes, I am trying....
