Judy will be mentioned in our prayers for healing. Ed as a caregiver you need to remember to take a few moments everyday and take a deep breath for yourself and then say a prayer of Thanks for every one of those 37 years.

I hope you are holding up there ok? I'm sure you are getting some of your fishing jonesing from reading reports here. :) Hang in there! :)

I'm concentrating on taking my wife back and forth to Mayo Clinic Hospital for follow up labs and medication adjustments. It's a tricky balancing act to get the medications right. One of the anti-rejection medications actually reduces kidney function, so she has to take something to counteract those side effects which leads to another medication to counter the side effects from that medication. This morning she had early morning labs and a follow up, and then I had to bring her back at 4 p.m. for an ultrasound. In between, rather than return home, we went out to breakfast and then saw the movie Pressure which was a good movie. It takes 15-25 minutes, depending on traffic, to get from our house to Mayo Hospital which is not bad for Phoenix, but we decided to have a date day in between the appointments for some relief from all this.

I'd love to get back up there fishing, but it will be a while. I should be able to take my July fly fishing trips to Star Valley, WY, and the Green below Flaming Gorge, but nothing before then. My wife is kicking me out of the house Saturday morning for some time at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility where I'm going to re-test a couple loads for my ultra-modern 6.5 PRC and my vintage .250-3000 Savage. I'm just trying to zero in on the best loads for what I want to do. Since I refuse to shoot at live animals at 600-800 yards, my 6.5 PRC loads feature lighter bullets at higher velocities for flatter trajectories at my 400-yard ethical hunting range. If I use the .250-3000 for anything, my limit will be 300 yards. My Savage Model 99 has a 1:14 twist barrel that won't consistently stabilize 100-grain or heavier bullets. Speer makes an 87-grain bullet that will stabilize and is constructed heavier than most bullets in this class making it suitable for deer and antelope. I bought that 99 last fall and have had a lot of fun working up loads for it. It's an absolute joy to shoot with hardly any recoil. Lots of fun!
 
Well, Ed, my daughter may be an important player in your wife’s treatment. She is a pharmacist at Mayo and regularly works in infusion and med lab. She is very proud of Mayo and their unsurpassed professionalism and staff. Of course HIPAA prevents her from disclosing patients, will never know her role. But I can tell her to be particularly diligent with anybody with a whiff of gunpowder or anchovies. 😉.
We will pray for her healing and recovery.

No anchovies for me! I won't allow those smelly things in my boat! Gunpowder maybe!

Mayo is a terrific facility. We're lucky to have it so close to us.
