HOME!!!

Been a long while, but back. Medical updates. Kay's shoulder is doing great. She has not had to go to rehab for the shoulder because of the Wii. Her surgeon said he now has a new method of rehab for his surgery patients. It still catches now and again, and don't think that will go away until and if she does shoulder replacement surgery. When we saw the Nurse Practitioner she said they are starting to develop procedure for injection for the shoulder like they do for the knee and hips.
I made it home today. Surgery was successful and I am recuperating at home. I had hernia surgery lower left side. Dr. put in a screen to strengthen it. Can't lift more than equivalent to a gallon of milk for three weeks. Have to go back to see the Dr. in two weeks. After the three weeks, will be allowed to lift 10 to 15 pounds and then after that Dr. said there would be no limitations.
The hospital personnel here at Conroe are absolutely tremendous. All three times they have been the best. Friendly, helpful, courteous, concerned, etc. We couldn't have been in a better place for our medical problems. It was great fortune to find Dr. Scarborough. If I had taken my annual physical in the summer like I normally do, would not have found out about my hernia until it was much worse.
Last week another of Kay's bears at BearPaths sold. She also received an order and invitation to make more bears for show later this month, so she is being kept busy getting bears ready for that. Lost couple days work with the surgery yesterday and waiting all day at the hospital for the doctor to release me.
Weather has been up and down here. Days of being in the 70s during the day and 50s and 60s at night to days of being in the 50s during the day and 20s and 30s at night. Has been very windy quite a few days also. But not as bad as it has recently been back home and in Chico. Tornadoes in IL and 80 mph wind gusts in Chico.
Sam has been his normal crazy self. Loves chasing a small football (that we got at Lowe's family day last summer) with his head in the plastic bag which came off 12 pack of water. Really comical.
Now will be off for a while, will try to be more diligent with the blog.

Ed, Kay, and crazy Sam
