May 4, 2012

Today is Friday May 4, 2012. Mom has been home for ONE WEEK! YAY! I am so happy. She is doing so well! She had a Total Hip Replacement on April 3, 2012. On April 6, 2012, she went to Aspen Ridge Transitional Rehab Facility. It has been a very long and exhausting month. I am so very grateful for all those that have stepped up and helped us out during this crazy time! More pictures and experiences to come. Stay tuned...

Back from Sunny Milwaukee!

Back from Sunny sans snow Milwaukee for Christmas and Mark's Wedding. What an adventure!!!!! Stay tuned for all the fun details...

Is it Winter yet???

Was it just yesterday that I was wishing it was warm????? Well, NOW I wish it was just a tad bit cooler. My body is still a little crazy. First I'm cold. Then I'm really, really HOT! I am having a ton of difficulty concentrating on my studying! So I'm taking a break!!!

The dog is in a playful mood. Mark is here from Milwaukee for a wedding. It is nice catching up! He was just 2 yesterday you know!!! The Stadium of Fire is a week from today. I'm taking Callie. To celebrate her birthday. She turned 15 on Tuesday! Unbelievable!!!!

Well. back to studies before bedtime. I'm wide awake!!!! Should NOT have had that Coke today!!!!

Just Checking In!

Here I am! I'm alive! I had TWO, count them, TWO! Brain Surgeries at the end of February 2011. Great way to start the year don't ya think!?? I had a colloid cyst removed, my old shunt removed, and a new shunt put in a few days later. WOW! Head completely shaved....Memory somewhat erased...partly...Still can't remember lots of things. It's June 2, 2011. I have some hair now, I still have a few headaches, I'm "cystless" (That's not really a word I know, but I made it up, so it is NOW a word!)

I am blessed to be alive....I've lost 20 or so lbs.....That is pretty much a good thing, although I still look like I have a belly, but my pants like to fall off....

MORE LATER!

Could it be?

Could it be that I'm finally posting something on our blog???

Yes! It could also mean that I am procrastinating on getting ready to leave the house to fight for exclusive parking closest to the Harris Fine Arts Bldg. at BYU for Niece Leslie's concert. I'm postponing my viewing of Biggest Loser and GlEE for you dear one, so Please don't disappoint your Auntie and Grandmother. Since we now have to pay hard earned money to these fine events, does that mean I will be served Jelly Belly's?

Break a Leg sweet one!

Oh, wait....already too many injuries in this family at this time. Just play your socks off. I hope you have a pedicure. Nice inappropriate blog. Don't you think?

Pit stop

Well, We haven't completely disappeared. A nice update about family and travel will be coming in the next few days. We all know I wasn't blessed with the gift of patience, so I guess it's kind of silly to ask everyone else for theirs......

9 days and counting

Drum roll PLEASE!

It has finally been determined, that on September 20, 2010 at 10:00 an, (sure why not, sounds good doesn't it?)  Kathy and Laura Stay, will depart Provo, Utah for the much needed getaway that has been in the works for weeks, months, and yes.....years!  April 2008....In celebration of Kathy completing one very sucessful year of HELL!  Otherwise known as Interferon therapy for Hepatitis C.

The disease is still preseant.  It  will always exist,  and the side effects  and symptoms of the ugly disease will never go away...BUT.  as of this week, Blood work shows that  the Liver Functions are within normal limits.

WE are heading to Glenwood Springs Colorado!!!  The weather might be a little too warm to have the desired effect of healing and relaxation, but by darn, it's gonna help!  Nice and quiet....enjoying the fall weather...Camera with memory stick loaded and ready.....HOW MANY PICKS CAN WE POSSIBLY TAKE TO MESS UP FACEBOOK!  

When it is time to leave Glenwood Springs on the 22nd. we do not have a set itinerary, other than a run over to Aspen, but we are starting to look at a few options.  Nothing to be back in Provo for until the 26.  I'm SO LOOKING forward to this, you can't imagine.  WE are leaving the house and Ginger in good hands.   Pictures should show up on a post in about oh 2-3 weeks.
