Gabriel has been playing competitive baseball this year and well the team hasn't done so hot but it sure is exciting to watch him play. I just love it. He is currently in Colorado right now for the month of July. We miss him dearly and Jackson keeps asking" Wheres my Gabriel"? We just tell him he is on a trip but he does not quite understand.
John Wayne is back on nights for the summer. Its good that he does not have to endure the horrible heat of the day at the plant but I sure miss him at night. Jackson has been in bed with me more than he should but I HATE being alone at night.. One noise and my mind starts up its own horror movie.
Hmmmm.. what else.. We got our garden going this year and the tomatoes are gigantic. The bell peppers and jalapenos are getting up there as well but the cucumbers keep getting munched down by something. Not sure if its the birds or what but I dont think they will make it. Were planning to have a garage sale tomorrow morning to rid the basement of nonsense that's in the way and make some cash to go on a float trip with our neighbors here in a few weeks.
We did take the kids last month on a camping (cabin of course) trip in MO. It went well although some nasty storms came through. Gabe caught some craw fish and tadpoles. Jackson has decided he can swim just fine. He is a daredevil for sure.. He wants to jump in with no floaties and try to jump past you and not be caught so I need to look into swim lessons for that monkey.
I saw another doctor, a physiatrist recently who diagnosed me with chronic sacroilitis. He believes there is little hope for my pain to ever subside. He recommends that i have a hysterectomy to relieve the pressure from those ligaments. I know I have endometriosis on those ligaments so instead of going thru with the hysterectomy i am currently on Lupron for 6 months to help me make the decision. My pain doctor has prescribed my lidocaine patches in the meantime along with a new pain med. He is researching a new procedure as well to see if I could benefit. I would do anything at the point to have pain relief, sometimes it is just too much to handle some days.
Please keep my mother in your prayers right now. The MS is really getting the best of her right now and she is going thru with a new therapy to fight the disease that is really wiping her out. The treatment she has started has really changed others lives so pray that it does the same for her.
I will try to get this blog updated more often again..I'm just such a bore, and more so than anything really really tired.
peace to all
