A year ago, https://mwilliamsart.com/64days/2024/10/1/september-23-2024 I was remembering the ultrasound that revealed a few blood clots in my legs — one of those moments that quietly shifts how you see your own body and health. Yesterday, I found myself back in a similar room, but this time for a very different kind of ultrasound — one that’s helping narrow the focus on what we need to do to make my dream come true.

The results were good — thankfully uneventful in the best possible way. No scary surprises, just information and direction. Tomorrow, I’ll meet with one of the best physicians around to see if they can help take the next step. Fingers crossed.

And in the middle of all this? Some extra joy — we just got word that my present will be here tomorrow! I’ve been watching the shipping updates like a kid on Christmas Eve, screenshotting every stop along the way. It still doesn’t feel real, but the anticipation is half the fun.
