Note from Stacey
Last Sunday, I went to the Stanford stadium with Dave and got a full workout in…10 trips up and down. I was so pleased because that is what I used to do before the setback, so things are getting better. Today, after my “gastric emptying test” at the hospital, I visited my friends David and…

I’ve been able to get out on some nice hikes lately. On Friday, I went with Julie, Ian and Lucy Humphreys (as well as their dog, Hugo) to Arastradero Preserve. I wasn’t feeling so well, so we only went on a short walk. We walked to the lake and relaxed a little while. Yesterday, Carrie…
