Marshall's cataract surgery on Wednesday went well. Today was the followup visit and everything looks good. In another week his vision should be 100% better than it was and he will probably have no need for glasses except for close-up. Very nice.
We've had some freezing nights so the greenhouse has been a challenge. The first night we brought all the plants in the house, but that is just not an acceptable method going forward. So since we've had a succession of cold nights, we've been putting boxes over each plant. So far so good. We only lost one tomato plant.
We've got 4 tomato plants, a blueberry plant, strawberry plant, cucumber plant and pepper plant. All of these are experimental to see if we can make it work. It's very challenging. I also planted green beans and spinach. And for fun, we bought a beautiful bougainvillea plant that should flower all summer in the greenhouse...give it a bright look.
Marshall is planning a trip to Denver on Memorial Weekend -- he's going to stay with friends and also take a Safety Riding Course for the trike. The friend he is going to stay with has also had a battle with prostate cancer so it will be nice for Marshall to have someone to talk to who's "been there." I'm going to stay home and do absolutely nothing!
Next Wednesday we are attending a prostate cancer support group at the Dorcy Cancer Center in Pueblo. We are looking forward to that, too.
