Stu is back on the road!! He just got permission to drive, and I'm sure that he will be out in the truck before I even get home today... Stu's dad has been here for a week helping Stu get to appointments, the gym, dinner, etc., and he has been a blessing. What a great father-in-law!!
Stu continues to get better every day. His double vision is completely gone. His puffy cheeks from the steroids are going away, as are the extra pounds from the steroid-induced eating. His nose has healed, and the scar on his head actually looks pretty good (he will tell you otherwise). He is sleeping well, although his snoring keeps the rest of us in the house from catching too many zzzz's. He has physical therapy just once a week now, just to keep an eye on his progress, but he can do most of it at the gym by himself. I don't think it will be long until he gets out on his road bike. Ironman Arizona is only 7 months away, so he will need help from his IM friends to get back in shape.
Keep the comments coming--Stu reads the blog every day!

Stu and Deb- your family out here in Ohio are delighted to hear about your splendid progress. You both remain in our daily prayers. Mom Richter, Donna and Drew may be headed out that way for a visit around June or July. It would be great to see you.
