I'M BACK!!!!!

Bet you all thought I had vanished from the earth? Since the last post I survived VBS the following week, Jay having surgery the next week and some big job weeks after that. I am not and probably never will be caught up. VBS was an experience to say the least. Me, Les, Amy and Brooke along with some other help had the pre school age group. We went from 6PM to9 PM 5 nights. That meant I left at 5PM and got back home anywhere from 9:30 to 10Pm every day. One little boy would start out fairly good each night but about midway he would get a little ornary. One night he knocked a little girl down , was warned to behave and proceeded to do it again. I gave him time-out to calm down. He put his head in his lap, cried and very pathetically said"This is the worse day of my life". The following Wednesday Jay had double hernia surgery at a hospital in Ashland, KY. We go to church with some great surgeons but our local hospital leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to patient care. Kings Daughters Hospital in Ashland is listed as one of the top 100 hospitals in the US and it was an awesome experience. I can't say enough good about it. Jay's surgery was to take about 45 minutes but it took 1-1/2 hours. Had "something" to do with the patient waiting so long to get the left hernia repaired!! Hint Hint Jay! He did great tho and when I got up at 6:30 the next morning he had already been up and fixed his own breakfast. He only took 1 pain pill which he really didn't want to take. He was restricted for 2 weeks as to not lift anything but he is now back at it but watches what and how he does lift. I have been landscaping (again).I overdid it tho and am now wearing a brace on my right arm. I spread out 45 bags of mulch 1 day and the next day when I went to start the weedeater I ripped a muscle/tendon below my elbow. I heard it pop and I was instantly sick. BUT!!! I went ahead and used the weed eater for an hour and then mowed for 3-1/2 hours. Then I came in and iced it and took 2 Alieve. The next morning it didn't feel too bad so when Jay's brother came over to do some dozer work, I had him bring 2 of his boys along and they helped me gather and place rock all day and we also unloaded 1 ton of stone in my walkway in my new landscaping. Well my arm seemed to get worse each day and yesterday was my Saturday to clean our church. Our family DR is 1 who helps me. He called yesterday morn to see what time to meet there and I told him I was in pain. Didn't take him long after examining my arm to tell me and Jay that I was officially on medical leave as far as my arm goes for 2 weeks. I have 2 different braces I rotate using 24/7 except for showering and take 2 Alieve twice daily. I am Ok tho and am pleased with my landscaping altho it needs some final touchups. Other then that we are all doing good. I know I have missed my goal as far as wishing happy b-days and anniversaries but maybe my next post I will catch up. All you deer hunters please note that I have my cameras out and already have bucks in velvet on them. I will post them also later.Enough for now.
