Looks like a ghost town around here, congrats on the trip Elin. Sorry I missed wishing Bob a Happy Birthday.
After several different attempts at improving the issues with my foot the decision has been made to do a revision, which is what the call it when they have to go back in and fix a previous surgery. He thinks scar tissue is a big part of the problem but he won't know exactly what is going on until he gets in there.
He did try a corrtizone shot that helped a great deal, but it wore off on our disney trip last month, and things went south from there.

Morning, all!
Debbie - I surely hope this surgery does the trick for you! You've been in pain for far too long!!!
Elin - How fun to have an impromptu trip! Can't wait to hear all about it!
Tammi - I hear ya on the trip thing. It's so hard to take kids out of school once they hit middle school/junior high! Sometimes I think I can't wait for the kids to be gone so Alan and I can travel without worrying about making up any homework! Of course, then I will miss the kids terribly! Sigh!
Things here are going ok. 4 of my 5 kids are sick with something. Not sure what. Strep tests were negative, but they all have red throats, and are coughing up a storm. Leslie and Mary are on antibiotics now, and Katie finished a round last week. Still the cough is getting worse. I'm taking Katie back to the doctor today, as she has to audition for Musical Theater class next week, and would really like not to cough through it. We'll see how the other kids do in a couple of days! We thought we were doing so well, not having any serious illness all through winter, but once Spring showed signs of appearing, here came the sickies! Grrr!
Other than that, we are all fine! Alan is working hard trying to finish up this semester of school. He will "graduate" in May, but will still have 4 independent study hours he has to complete during the summer. His advisors thought it would be stupid to hold up his walking in the graduation an entire year for only 4 hours, so this is the solution they came up with. His thesis project is coming along well, and he's also keeping busy in his "spare time" with a couple of freelance projects.
School seems to be going well for all the kids. Leslie has had some trouble remembering that school is for learning, and not for chattering. However, after an intervention with a concerned teacher, and a grumpy mom, she seems to have her priorities back in place!
Did I mention we got a dog?!? An 8 year old Yorkshire Terrier named Tinkerbell. She's a love, and the kids are over the moon about her! She belonged to a friend of mine who had to move into housing where animals were not welcome. So, we've taken her in, and she's become an integral part of the family in just one week!
Plans are going forward for our Disneyland trip in June! My niece is designing a shirt for the entire group to wear, and my sister and I are doing some applique shirts for the kids to wear in our annual picture for Grandpa's Christmas. They also want to to another tie dye shirt, as they loved them last time. We are not going to do the Mickey head this year, as each kid wants to try something different. Well, it's a project that should keep them busy during spring break!
Hope you are all doing well, and that the Daylight Savings didn't screw anyone up too badly!

Hi everyone. One more week to go before we see a DR at the Phila VA. Just cannot stand the suspense. Hal is taking it well. No bad reaction to the first shot.
I have been trying to start making arrangements for our trip in December but am not making anything permanent just yet. Right now I am just doing a lot of dreaming.
Glynis, when the kids are all gone, you will really enjoy being alone. I love that we have the freedom to come and go. Since two of the kids live so close, we can see them and the grandkids when ever we want.
Our youngest, Steve is coming up next week to spend time with Hal which will be nice. Then in July he will be back with the family.
I have been doing some major clean sweeping here. It was time to let some things go. Now if I could just get money to really clean the rugs from the damage left by the cats!!
Miss all of you!!

Hi all. I have a second to check in. We just wrapped up the High School Bowling season and the team took 1st place in the state. That kept us busy every weekend for 3 months. The still have Saturday Morning bowling which ends with a couple of out of town tournaments in April. In the meantime I've been working on getting the Lacrosse program up and running for this Spring. I've got 6 teams and am still short one coach, but things are starting to come together. We've had a couple of open gyms on Sundays and the full blown program starts Monday. All that with working full time and I've been a busy girl. Chris accepted the JV Lacrosse Coaching position at the boys High School so that starts soon as well and he will continue to coach the 7/8 grade team. Nick will be playing Varsity and Hunter has decided to give the golf team a whirl since he hasn't gained weight and worries that he'd get hurt in High School Lacrosse. I guess that sums it up in a nutshell. Good to hear from you all.

Having a bit of trouble sleeping tonight, a good time to check in.
My surgery was scheduled for the 25th but has now been cancelled. Went to my pre-op visit only to find out my Dr. has been in a biking accident and has a broken pelvic bone and a broken arm. It's probably going to be at least six weeks before he'll be able to do surgery's so we'll reschedule when he see's how his recovery is going.
So more pain meds for now and we just wait. other people have asked why I don't see another doctor to do it, mine is not a typical case and I think by the time I see another doctor and fill them in on the history of the problem I might as well wait for the doctor who knows what has happened and has already done consults with other surgeons including plastic surgeons on the best way to handle the revision.

I'm so sorry you have to postpone the surgery! I know you were really hoping that it would be over and done with! I think you are smart for sticking with your own doctor! There's a history there, and a relationship. All of that is important when you are having surgery!
We'll keep you in our prayers until (and after) the surgery happens!
Better be gone soon. I have had it with Old Man Winter!

Apparently we have a large snowstorm coming in tomorrow we could get a foot of snow. Not what we want with Spring sports starting. Of course all the big storms have pretty much missed us so we'll probably be okay as long as we plan for the worst lol

No school today. The roads were bad this morning early, then nothing most of the day, but the heavy snow is starting now. Who knows what we'll get

Not bad, school today and it will all probably melt this weekend. Roads were fine this morning
Saw this on facebook and thought it was appropriate to put here. I am assuming that the Punxsutawney Phil who came out on February 2nd was an imposter! :yes::
But he was right here in Texas
