Home from the Hospital

The last couple of weeks have been quite busy! Friday before last, my wife was scheduled for a diagnostic laproscopy to find out and fix the cause of some fairly intense pain on her left side. We went through all the admitting, pre-testing, changing into the gown, and waiting to be taken in to the OR...then we waited. After awhile, I had to go to work for a meeting I couldn't reschedule. As it turns out, the operating room had gotten backed up, and her doctor had been held up at another hospital when the previous procedure before his had some complications. As a result, they rescheduled for the following Wednesday before Labor Day, refilled her Vicodin prescription and she went home.

Saturday was spent cleaning house in preparation for moving in Taylor's bedroom furniture, which up to this point was still at her parents house (I know, we've been married almost 1/2 a year, and she still isn't moved in) followed by moving day on Sunday. By Sunday night, we had my bedroom furniture in the guest bedroom, had her bedroom suit set up in our master bedroom, and had her desk set up in the office. Needless to say by the end of the day, we were spent.

On Wednesday, we checked into the hospital and this time, everything went off without a hitch. Another tiring day, but the pain in her left side is gone, and she is slowly but surely recovering from surgery.

This past weekend was spent mostly in the garage. Thanks to my in-laws, who came upon several shelving units left by a former tenant of their adjoining office space, I was able to completely re-organize the garage. I didn't quite get it where I want it, but it's very close. I need to put in one more Saturday, and with any luck, I may be able to get BOTH cars in the garage in an emergency, and that hasn't been possible since I moved in to the place.

Last but not least, I've added a new feature to my blog page. I've often wondered about who visits and reads my blog, and now with this added feature, I can see approximately where my page was accessed. I'm glad to see hits in Ohio from a friend who relocated for work, Oklahoma from friends/family, Georgia from a relocated friend from church, and England by friends made while helping out with their Holiday Club in their local church. I think of you guys often, including those in England. Hope all is well, and drop me a line sometime.

I guess that's enough for now. Thanks for tuning in.
