The Maxsons

Well, I’ve been back in the office for the last two weeks, and it seems to have gone well. I started driving again this week, which was an enjoyable milestone. You don’t realize how nice the “small” freedoms are until they’re taken away, I guess!

Anyway, I saw the cardiologist earlier this week, and he said that the heart valves sound great. He had a minor concern about some lingering inflammation in the pericardium (the lining of the heart) where he could hear it slightly rubbing against the heart muscle, like a sandpaper sound. He said inflammation is fairly common among post-surgery patients, and just wants me to take a higher dose of ibuprofen for 10 days to hopefully knock it out. I go back to see him in three weeks, and back to see the surgeon around the end of January.

In the meantime, as life gets back to normal, we’ll probably be going out this weekend to look at some houses, and Tricia has a couple bridal showers to go to for her brother’s bride-to-be (in 2 weeks). Plus, we’ll continue to formulate a baby registry and keep preparing for that new arrival. Life is busy!
