it's a beautiful day

what a great day!

-just got off the phone with acacia

we had a nice, long conversation

she talked about what she's been through

and where she's going

and all the things she's looking forward to doing

can't wait to get a car and get a job and get back to school

and get to her senior year and travel and fly and come back to california

she's getting her trach-tube out of her throat monday

and hopefully be released to the 'hotel' next week

she's so excited about using her iPhone and being away

from all those other machines...

she talked about how she's not used to not being

hooked-up to her flolan pump

-she's been dragging that thing around for years

and now she's free!

she's thinking about writing a book about her experiences

we talked about a new title -"UnHooked"

because now, she'll be free from that pump

what a great conversation we had

-so full of hopes and dreams and future conquests

kinda makes you think about what's important

and how some problems and set-backs in life are just

-plain silly


she's a champion and she's (again)

made my life worthwhile and complete
