Although it won’t feel like it until Tony is home! My sister-in-law called this morning to invite me and Hannah over for breakfast before heading to the hospital.  Can you believe I forgot to take a picture?!   She did a great job: sausages, french toast, hash browns, banana bread, scrambled eggs with cheese and coffee. Here’s the aftermath though! So after breakfast Hannah and I...

Sadly, Tony probably won’t be released until Friday at the earliest.  I guess he had kind of a rough night last night.  He’s very sleep deprived and with the pain medication, somehow felt that he needed to get out of his room last night.  So he ripped out all of his IV’s, pic line – everything!  Then he fell, but managed to get to the...

Okay, so the first part of my errands Hannah could not come with me since I was buying gifts for her!  But I had a couple other things to do so I picked her up and we continued on.  It was close to 1:15, we were hungry so we stopped for lunch.  Um, remember the part when I said that I was going to eat healthy...

is preventing me from visiting Tony today.  We are supposed to have snow all day long.  But I talked to him and he is doing well.  He is unhooked from almost everything and they even had him walking around this morning!  And while I wish I could be with him, it is nice to be home and I hope to have heathier food!  It’s so...

Yippee!  The surgery was a success!  Whew.  Now I can breathe. His surgery was scheduled for this afternoon so I set my alarm for 7:00.  The alarm goes off, I turn it off and lay my head down for a minute.  Hannah then knocks on my door and I am like “I’m up!”  But she hands me the phone and says the hospital called but she...

Today marks our 8th wedding anniversary!  His knee surgery is scheduled for early this afternoon.  Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers.  I added a new page “the second person . . . ”  about how Tony and I met!  I’ll post again when I can!

Hi all!  It’s been a long couple of days!  Thanks for all your well wishes – they are much appreciated! So Tony is set for surgery on Monday afternoon as of today.  He will be having his artificial knee replaced with a temporary one that is filled with antibiotics, which will stay in there for three months. If after three months, there is no infection,...

Tony called me at work today to tell me that his doctor wanted him to go to the emergency room TODAY!  He’s had a problem with his right knee after a fall on our slippery deck a couple months ago.  We went to a knee doctor a month ago, and he said it would take a while for the swelling to go down and if...

The party last night went well!  I love the Santa Claus they hire, because he tells the kids to remember to brush their teeth, go to bed when your parents tell you, and if there are siblings, he tells them to always love each other and never fight!  Here’s Hannah with Santa: This was the kids favorite table! More Good Eats! And somehow Santa knew...

Earlier we thought Tony had a car emergency, but it turned out to be nothing.  Whew!  But it worked out anyway because he ended driving me back to work and then Hannah can drive to my office for our annual Santa Claus party, then we’ll just drive home together in one car.  Even though she is almost 17, I still make her sit with Santa! ...
