Rolly has been gone for 10 days, coming home tomorrow. He's spent some time with our oldest son and family, and several days with his older brother in Oregon. His brother has had a couple of open heart procedures, a failed pig valve transplant and an artificial valve that seems to be doing the trick. His brother just turned 65, and suddently "old" and "health issues" seem not as far away as they did before Rolly's stroke. He tried to hook up with his twin brother as well, but as usual, his brother couldn't make the effort to drive 15 miles to see him. His loss!

I think it was good for him to go. He was a bit apprehensive about being out of his "comfort zone" and being totally responsible fore his meds, but he seems to have done just fine! In fact, we've only talked a handful of times.

Hopefully the "rest" was good for both of us.
