Something I’ve been dreading ever since Sara was born. I was hoping we’d have a couple more years to prepare for it oh well….life happens. 😉 A couple weeks ago (June 27th to be exact) Sara went downstairs to get a toy. She came up the stairs with two and right when she got to… Continue reading Sara’s 1st trip to the ER

Sara’s 1st Haircut!
Sara was fed up with me constantly putting her hair in a ponytail on the top of her head. She’d pull it out seconds after I’d get it in there. Since it was the only way to keep her hair out of her eyes, we decided it was time for a haircut. We went to… Continue reading Sara’s 1st Haircut!
Whooohooooo!!
Stitches are O-U-T!! Doc says I am healing nicely and I was able to bend my knee 90 degrees!! Yeeeee-ha! The BEST thing was taking a shower tonite WITHOUT Saran wrap on my knee! 🙂

Loved the socks so much I wore them home! 😉 IV started, right knee was marked with a green… Continue reading Crutches and Percoset and bandages…oh my!
Surgery time…
Knee surgery is scheduled for THIS Thursday, April 8th at NOON. Yay for Percoset! 🙂
We’re almost ready…
Last night, around midnight, I put the “Lidocain” patch on Amy’s knee like the doctor told her. Basically, it’s a large patch that covers the knee and gives it a continuous dose of lidocain to slowly numb it. Also, as funny as it sounds, according to Amy’s doctor, it also makes sure that the surgeon… Continue reading We’re almost ready…
24 Hours to go
A little more than 24 hours to go until Amy’s surgery. I’ve taken tomorrow and Friday off in order to take care of both my girls during Amy’s ‘recouperation’. The weirdest part about the whole thing is that I feel like this is the first ‘surgery’ that has affected both of us to some extent.… Continue reading 24 Hours to go
The dreaded “S” word.
No, not THAT word! 🙂 “S” as in surgery. Yuck. Not fun. Not looking forward to it. It hasn’t been scheduled yet but it will probably be sometime this month. Doc isn’t even sure the exact “type”. Once he “gets in there” (ew!), he’ll know. He’ll either repair the tear in the medial meniscus or… Continue reading The dreaded “S” word.
