while i am on the subject...

well, i usually use this blog for frivolousness. but, maybe i shouldn't? so, since i have started on the subject of surgery, maybe i should continue. i thought i should mention that my gramps had a knee replacement surgery and month or so back and my mom had a hip replacement recently. it would be great if you could pray for a speedy recovery. my gramps isn't doing too bad. he is getting around with a cane and they even let him drive now. my mom is pale and tired and weak and dad is driving her nuts.:) at least she has dad to take care of her. we have been visiting her this week, but when i have my surgery it might get very lonely for her. maybe she should take up knitting!

impending surgery for andy?

dear reader, in man vs. birtbike, dirtbike wins. andy was riding with his dad on saturday. andy went off a jump and when he landed a little sideways he stuck his leg out to steady himself. poor andy's ankle. dan took andy to the emergency room. they thought it was just a sprain. on monday i took him to the dr. and learned that he has a small fracture. there is a little bone chip floating in his ankle joint. he is wearing a very stylish boot and he's on crutches. he'll probably have surgery next week some time. he's not in very much pain anymore. that's a good thing. please pray for andy and his big gross swollen ankle.:)

surgery for me, tra-la, tra-la!

dear readers, the body is a frail thing. our life is but a vapour. :) i am having knee surgery tomorrow. i seem to have misplaced my ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT. i had it a few years ago...... my doctor is pretty sure my body absorbed it. so, tomorrow at 8 am i am having a new one put in. i won't even be staying overnight this time (this time? yes, this is my third surgery of this kind.). i will recupperate for an hour then i will go home! the last time i stayed in the hospital 2 nights. it will be really fun at my house for a while. my step-son and i on crutches, my husband schlepping drinks/phones/ice packs, and a whiney angel of a toddler.:) please pray for me and my family.
