I had to wake myself up out of a really bad dream this morning. I won't go into the gory details (I'm doing my best to forget them) but it was obvious that someone was trying to send me a message. The message was this: we need to get John's health back under control before we head off on our Aventure Francaise this May.
He was doing so well in the months right after his bypass surgery, but then along came the BP affair. Being tied to the call center around the clock for weeks on end (which BP was keeping stocked with doughnuts, ice cream and candy), having to eat whatever the in-house caterers happened to bring in, and not getting any exercise other than an occasional quick walk down the hallway, well, it set off a downward spiral that John has never quite managed to pull himself out of.
He's supposed to be meeting up with his new cardiologist in Austin sometime soon (handpicked, and even trained, by his Houston specialist) and I'm hoping he can hook us up with some type of rehab/exercise program for cardio patients -- of the sort John should have been enrolled in as soon as he recovered from the surgery, but which somehow fell through the cracks. Cuz, 'though I really want this dream trip to be memorable, I sure don't want it to be because John keeled over in the middle of it!

Oh dear yes---get that boy on a program soonest. Aren't scary dreams the worst? Hope you can shake the emotional residue and just get your precious jewel committed to better diet and exercise. Darn that BP project.
I had a lovely time on the Viking River Cruise link doing some armchair traveling. I read all about the Rhone cruise---is that the one y'all are taking? Such fun to plan on; it'll make the sacrifices well worth it!
Yes, we'll be cruising down the Saone and Rhone rivers.
