Equal Parts Rise and Shine

I've been going to classes/training twice a week for the last month (actually started in the last week of the last year), and this morning was my graduation. 

Thanks to Jess, Kayliegh, and Lauren (and way too many others for this old person's brain to remember) for the patience, encouragement, and perseverance in dealing with a somewhat very frightened senior citizen forced to learn a new skill set if he wanted to remain above ground. 

Thanks and love, always, to my wife, Sigrid, for the truest expression of 'in sickness and in health' I'll ever know. And yes, I am aware that every other Wednesday is recycling day in our neighborhood, so I'll be avoiding the curb.

I'm still an apprentice in terms of proficiency, but I made it through my first night of peritoneal dialysis and can look forward (not my first choice of words) to the same routine for every night of my life for the rest of my life.

Übung macht den Meister. Drück mir die Daumen!
