Quickly! Dave’s 2 week checkup was yesterday. He’s doing MUCH better now and both his neurosurgeon and primary care doctor (the military doctor who he sees more often) are both impressed with how well he’s doing! We’re thrilled with the upward turn in his recovery compared to last weekend. And Dave’s attitude is so great … Read more
I’m making a cake later this week for the Hurlburt Spouses’ Club Charity Auction. I hope it turns out really pretty and yummy…the money earned from the auction will help provide scholarships for members of the Team Hurlburt family! Tonight I decided to start on the roses, since I hadn’t made roses in several years. … Read more
This is from last May. The boys did a 1 mile fun run, even though those running numbers say “5K”. Jacob saw a classmate at this race who was registered to run the 5K itself and he asked, “Mom, why can’t I do that?” Well, no one ever said you couldn’t! Meet my new running … Read more
There are so many skills to be learned when cooking: math, nutrition, chemistry, physics! Dave Update: We had a rough couple of days. Incidentally, we had read another Axia-LIF patient’s online blog/diary/series of forum posts that read rather similarly. At about the one-week point, the patient was feeling better, he thought he could move around … Read more
You know that picture from yesterday where I showed the kids getting interviewed for the Pensacola News Journal? They led off on a small online story today! Here’s the picture below, and here’s the story! Enjoy! And yes, the title really does say “Pensacola parade attracts hundreds.” Hundreds. Small town living we have here. 🙂 … Read more
Happy Veteran’s Day friends! I am just getting this in under the wire for my daily post, trying to keep with my NaBloPoMo challenge! Dave Update: First of all, it got pretty tough for us last night with Dave’s back. He started getting some intense muscle spasms that weren’t resolving with the medications he had … Read more
It’s worth discussing. And since I have to come up with 30 days worth of material for this month’s NaBloPoMo, this presented itself at an opportune time. The web world is all aflutter with the Penn State Athletics Sex Scandal. Or whatever you want to call it. This makes me ashamed for all the times … Read more
Dave Update: Yesterday and this morning Dave was quite sore. He called it “new pain”, a lot of which was bone pain in his back, where the surgeon had to drill through his vertebrae. He had to increase his muscle relaxers and pain medication a little from what he was down to over the weekend, … Read more
Dave Update: Yesterday Dave got the 5 little staples out of his back. That helped him to lie on his back more easily. On the way home from the doctor’s appointment, he made a brief visit to the squadron to say hello. I promise, he didn’t do any work! He only logged on to his … Read more
Good Monday morning to you! Today is Dave’s one-week check up for his back procedure…most of what we’re going for is to get those staples above removed. That entire cut is about an inch long and is healing very nicely. But those staples are driving Dave mad and he can’t wait to get them out. … Read more
