Leesa currently resides with us with her daughter (Maleesa) until her move to Raleigh to join the teaching staff at http://cccodance.com They were both born on Okinawa 15 years apart (grin) Grandma plans to visit Raleigh three or four days a week to keep an eye on Maleesa as Leesa settles her work schedule and routine. |

I've been blessed with a healthy body over the years. I guess perhaps now all that spam musubi with heavy mayo has finally taken its toll; Tuesday, I have to pay that toll. I'm going in for bypass surgery on 25 MAY 2010 here in Fayetteville, NC at the Cape Fear Regional Hospital... they are a good team of doctors and have been successful here in their work. So, the diet is set for a drastic change; I’ll have a month or two to establish good, sound exercise habits; and I’ll have to ease up a bit at work … perhaps consider a bit less stressful employment (or perhaps early retirement) … hmmmmm. Keep me in your prayers; send me a bit of good karma; wish me well … whichever you prefer. I’ll be in touch over the next few weeks… I didn’t plan it that way … it’s just where my genetics, my diet, and my lifestyle have delivered me. . . |
