Finally, right meds

I have been having a great deal of pain and hives from meds. They gave me the meds I told them I had taken, but I must have built up an intolerance to codeine. We finally got everything straighted out yesterday and now I have Darvacet to take with my antibiotic. Today has been a good day of sleeping and neighbors have brought in food. I still do not have the results of lab/path reports yet. Thanks so much for all your concern and prayers.

I'm Home!

It is 12;30 on Saturday and I am home!
Yesterday was a very long day and so was Prep-Day on Thursday.
I actually got into the operating room only 15 minutes late and that was a wonderful surprise.
My tumor was large, but he got it all out. He feels good that it is not cancer, but we will have to wait until the lab report comes back and I do not have an estimated time on that.
I am now house bound until March 1st....but this whole mess is over. I am ever so thankful that everything was scheduled quickly.
Thank you all so much for your love, care, prayers and concern....I love you sisters!

Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Today is a great day....I am an adopted sister! Thanks, Helen...my calendar came this afternoon right in the middle of all my yucky preperation for tomorrows surgery. It really gave me a very warm feeling and it is greatly appreciated.
My surgery is tomorrow at 2:45...sure hope we do not have to drive through a lot of snow to get over to Kansas. Cindy is taking off tomorrow...so she will be with Mike.
Again...thanks for all your love, caring and prayers. It's really neat to have sisters!

Preparing for Friday....

We to the hospital today and did my pre-operative lab work. Wish I could wrap my brain around having this surgery on Friday....I should be home on Saturday. Then...I will be housebound until March 1st.

Here is Sam's entry

Sam chose a blue Dodge Dakota for his entry. It wasn't the most Ario-dynamic, but it flew down the track rather well.

Pinewood Derby...2010

Sam had a great time at his pinewood derby yesterday. He took 3rd overall and was very happy. Isn't he growing up?

Report

The main Dr.'s office called today and my pathology report was good. Whew...what a reflief. Again, thank you for all your concerns and prayers

Snow Fog and Black Ice...

It has been a rough 3 days, but we just got home from Sunday School. We have had Snow Fog and Black Ice. It sure has been spooky outside...this morning you could hardly see 10 feet in front of your car. Hope youe all have a great Sunday!

Wow....

Between Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh....why should we care that there is suffering in Haiti? Pat says they brought it on themselves and Rush tells us that we already pay some of our taxes each year to help.
If you want to help....contact 1-800-UMCOR....your money is used 100% toward the dissaster.
It is so sad that these two people preach such hatred.

Here we go again...

Here we go again.....snow and more snow. It does look like "White Manure"....Mike is out taking care of us and the neighbors.
Thought for the day.....if all I had to listen to was Rush Limbaugh, I think I would go stark raving mad. How dare him say that the Democrats that are not choosing run drank Obama's Kool-aid. I swear, that man has fried his brain with Oxy-Cotton and now has moved way over to the traitor side of America. This man is totally looney and speading his rath upon America. I would love to give him Kool-aid before he stands before a firing squad that has no bullets...then put this idiot into the general population of a New York City jail. Would you all like to know how I really feel....teehee

We are snowed in again...

Mike is now calling it "snow manure"....We are snowed in once again. A new 6 inches again by morning. The kids have yet to go back to school since Christmas.....Brrrrrr

Happy Birthday Fleta...

I think you are working entirely too hard for an old person!

Cold and Miserable...

It is so cold and miserable here....now sitting at a daytime hight of 12 degrees. Three more inches of snow and no church today......when, oh when will it be spring?

My beautiful tree...

Here is my beautiful Japanese Maple while she is snow bound.

Guest room finished

I have the guest room put back together and you are all welcome to come...snow and all. This is Mike ,a few minutes ago, cleaning off the neighbors snow with his new snow blower I bought him last year. It is starting to warm up...it is now 37.

Carpeting complete..

Carpet is all in for the 3 bedrooms and they are completely vacuumed. Top room is guest bedroom, the one in the middle is really brown and it is the playroom and the lower one is our master bedroom. The kids will be here around 6 tonight to help move the furniture back in the bedrooms. We may only accomplish our bedroom....but it will be better than sleeping in the family room. It is suppose to start snowing again tonight....ugh!

Remodel continues...

As you can see...Mike and I have been camping out in our family room. The man is here to lay carpet in all three of the bedrooms on the main floor. Our kids all came over on Sunday and moved all the furniture out of all three bedrooms. Everything that we need is where we can get to things, but it is kind of weird. Camera has been acting up, so I haven't been able to take pictures until today. The empty bedroom is our master bedroom, with vanity and bath that Paul has been working on off to the side. So far, we just have padding in the three rooms...but hopefully it will go together today. At least the next round of snow is not suppose to start until tomorrow evening.

Some fun surprises

Here's the Guys..

Here's the guys minus Sam...with their new toys. Tanner's scissors were the hit of the morning...he loves to do crafts.

I now know about....

Merry Christmas to each of my loved ones.
I now know what a blizzard really feels and looks like. Mike and I got up early and headed out in this mess to make it to Cindy's house for brunch and family Christmas. Worst weather I have ever been out traveling. We drove the truck, but do not have 4x4 drive. Paul and his family made it...but they do have 4x4. Cindy's in-laws could not make it....so we stayed for her dinner she was preparing for them. We finally returnd home around 7:30 PM. Really, really a white knuckle ride home.
Cound not imagine seeing Helen's kids outside without coats, therefore, I love Fleta's poem.
I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow.
