Jack reports that he feels stronger, experiences fewer arhythmias and less fatigue.
Our 50th class reunion was so delightful. I was so looking forward to it, but Jack was really up for it and praying for strength and good health. His prayers were answered. He was up way past his bedtime three days in a row, with minimal daytime napping. We are still sharing anecdotes and memories and laughs. We couldn't get enough of each other. I thought about starting a class reunion blog, as it was so major an event for me. It's so awesome to live this long and see how beautiful people turn out. A full catastrophe life (a term borrowed from Jon Kabot-Zinn) makes people really shine in their golden years. A day of golf, an initial informal social, a Mass celebrated by a classmate priest, a dinner with program, a brunch cruise on the Mississippi weren't enough ... we gathered Monday for a farewell breakfast.
I will try to get the photos and the other data on the blog, soon. My excuse= I'm staining the deck and some other tasks which woulda-shouda-coulda been done in Spring.

Hello, I have found this blog on Technorati while I was searching for stem cells blogs. I read the clinical trial protocol and I am really glad Jack is feeling stronger! Thanks for sharing your experience with the blogosphere.
