John is still in Pittsburgh. Doing okay. They've been boosting him up with platelets, etc. They tapped his stomach yesterday. The hopeful news is that the doctors at Allegheny General feel he is a good candidate for a transplant! A little disconcerting that they don't understand why the VA System rejected him a few years ago, especially since he was in better overall health back then. DON'T GET ME STARTED on the quality of care (or non-care) that veterans receive from the VA System. I have seen first hand on several occasions just how lacking it often is. We should be providing veterans with the best care available. No exception.
Well, as you can imagine, I am thrilled the Steelers are returning to the Super Bowl. Joyce came over to watch Sunday's game. She is a die hard Troy Polamalu fan. In the 4th quarter she was taunting Ravens QB Flacco to throw the ball to Troy (for an interception) and lo and behold, he did!! And Troy ran it back for a touchdown. We were screaming so loud I wonder if the neighbors heard us! LOL...it was a great moment.
