Wow!! Over a year!! Hard to believe!!!

May 24, 2009

I can't believe it's been over year since I have posted on here.  Life has gotten so busy!  Whoever would have thought!

Just a quick re-cap...we now have another new grandson....for a total of 3 granddaughters and e grandsons now!  

We went to Thailand twice last year and maybe going again at the end of August...just playing with the numbers right now...  I am going on another missions trip with our senior high youth group gust 1 -from church to Cuenca, Ecuador: August 1 - 10.  Please pray that my back will get better by then...I know God can do it!!!

Update on all of that stuff...(the continued saga of surgeries post motorcycle accident)
January 2008: Knee Surgery: Scope - Nothing else they can do (or will do) until I am old enough for knee replacement.
May 2008: Lowe Back Surgery: Corrected and splinted L4, L5 and S1.
November 2008: Planned corrective foot surgery...not a big deal...however...3 days later...I woke up from a nap and could not move my shoulder or neck....long story shortened to spare all the dramatics,,,
November 2008: Major surgery this time on my cervical spine (C2-4 fusion).

May 2009: Started epidural pain management for lower back....something didn't work right - had to go in for another type of epidural procerure to repair what didn't work right on the first one...The problem is after this "fix" you have to be in bed flat on your back "not propped or sitting up or reclining" for a week...UGH!...and to think I still have two more of these to go and my back still hurts just as much as it did before!

On a brighter note...kind of a chuckle!!!  My oldest son just got married up in Niagara Falls on May 9th.  Most of friends don't know who I am, etc...at the reception one of his friends came up to me and said hey do you remember blah blah blah when we were at blah blah blah?  I said no.  My son came up about that time and his friend said yea remember we took that bottle of rum from your mom and dad's house?  I said, oh really?  Steven said, DUDE!  THIS IS MY MOM!!!  His friend said OMG, I thought you were Erin (my daughter)!!  He made my evening because my daughter is 23 years old.  I'll take goof ups like those any day!!!
