Good news!

My mom told me that my uncle came through his heart cath fine. In fact, she said it showed NO blockages! That's fantastic! So, he still needs surgery, he has a leaky valve that needs to be repaired.
While that stinks...I'm so happy he only has to have that done.

Phil and I had another talk about Hawaii. He's going through the typical male "holy shit this is real" fear. He said it's easy to talk about what you want "in the future" but....now that the future is getting closer, he's panicking. I, personally, think that's normal male behavior and he'll get over it.

We've been talking about ways to help him get over his fear of flying. I suggested we take a trip. Not a long flight...maybe to DC or to Florida, just to "break him in". Hawaii is a long ass flight...but if he gets on a plane and sees it's really not a big deal, I think he'll come around.

Anyway. Off to enjoy another RAINY day.
