My new ride....

So check out my new ride.... Seems like this is going to be my main mode of transportation come this time next week!!! You know it actually looks kind of fun if you didn't know why you were going to need it!!!

As my hubby said, "Razor Scooter, move on over"... met the knee scooter!!!!

I am happy to report that at my Pre-Op appointment they have decided that I will be coming home with a pain pump! In some ways that makes me feel much, much much better - but in others.... well if I am going to need a pain pump and oral pain meds - how freaking bad is the pain actually going to be?!!?!?

Ugh....

Meanwhile I have SOOOO SOOOO SOOO Much to get done before Wed... so....

Until Next Time!

How cool is this......

Well it seems like my hubby is famous!!! Who knew!!!! He was actually written up in an article about the war in Afghanistan - you can see the article HERE !!

How amazing is it that "MY" husband is making history!!! I can't tell you how incredible proud I am of him and all our military serving overseas!!!!

Please stop over and read the article - it is really kind of cool (oh and for the record on the photo next to the article on the left hand side - that is my hubby with the bright red hair shinning in the candle light!!! LOL)

I may be MIA....

Yep- I just wanted to let you all know I may be Missing in Action (MIA) for the next well, few weeks.

As most of my blog readers know - I have an inch and 1/4 long bone spur that is growing through my Achilles Tendon - I have actually been in a boot cast since Sept. (Remember this photo)


But it is getting bigger (as if an inch and 1/4 isn't big enough) and since it is growing though the Achilles Tendon they are going to have to cut open my heel and the bottom of my foot,detach the tendon, shave the spur off, but I also have a deformity called Haglunds where my heel bone is not shaped correctly - so they will go in and shave it to the correct shape. THEN they have to scrap and de burr the tendon and then they have to reattach the tendon back to my foot.

I will be in a knee walker for several (two to four weeks at least), I have to have someone stay with me for at least a week (Thank goodness for family! Especially since hubby is soo soo soo far away!!), I will not be able to drive for two to three weeks (once again, thank goodness for family and friends!!!), I will go through three stages of casts and the WHOLE healing process is going to take four to six months!!!!

How Crazy is that?!!?

Pre-op is in the morning at 8 AM - and surgery is next Wed. My mother in law is flying in on Monday so I will have to pick her up from the airport - and if that isn't bad enough... I have to get all my Christmas/Holiday stuff done before Tue. Holly cow!!!!!

Needless to say I have a ton of stuff to get done, a short time to get it done in and then a recovery that sounds like it might be a little tough! So if I am not around for the next two weeks, or I am hit and miss - well....... now you know why!!!!

I am off to finish wrapping hubby's gifts as they have to be mailed out TOMORROW to make sure they make it in time - and if that wasn't bad enough we are under a tornado warning and the weather is predicted to be so bad that all the schools were closed at 1 PM Today!

So hopefully I will see you soon!

Until Next Time!

Things I am thankful for...

Happy Holidays Everyone!!! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and family!

You know I was thinking there are so many things I am so thankful for! I am thankful for my family.... The people who are always there for me. Who are willing to go over and beyond to help me when ever and how ever I need them to. (I'll be telling you more about this in the next few days).


I am thankful for my hubby! For the man he is, for the things he represent. The strength that he brings to our relationship. For the wonderful leader he is in our family. No women could ever ask for a better husband, a better best friend or a better person to spend their life with.

I'm thankful that there are men and women out there (like my hubby) who are willing to go into harms way to protect us as United States Citizens and our way of life. Men and women who ARE making a different in lands far away.


And I am very Thankful that I FINALLY got my swap pages complete and in the mail for the calendar swap over at VDBC!!!

Make sure as you hustle and bustle around this holiday season that you take time out to remember THE reason for the season and that you take time out to reflect on what you are thankful for.

Until Next Time!
