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
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
Before I get into the main topic of this post, first let me say that this was a much much better day for Dave’s recovery. He woke up in a good mood, and seemed to do well while I was briefly at a Hurlburt Spouses’ Club board meeting during mid-morning. He even took a couple … Read more
Today I got home from my two-week AF Reserve tour. Having to get on a plane and fly to my two-week tour is actually a first for me…unless you count the year I deployed, which I’m not. I’d have had to fly to that one no matter where Dave was stationed 🙂 A tad chilly … Read more
We took a long weekend and headed up to Atlanta. It’s about a 5.5 hour drive with no stops, plus we have a time zone change. We had nice seats at a Sunday afternoon Atlanta Braves game, and we booked a hotel room at a Comfort Inn right next to Turner Field, so we didn’t … Read more
Who here is a fan of Groupon! Go ahead, raise your hand! Don’t be shy…. I started using Groupon in the Omaha area ($5 Omaha Lancer’s tickets!), but quickly transferred my settings to Pensacola when we got here. I’ll admit that I don’t care about most of the deals that come our way (half price … Read more
Yes, these posts are hideously out of order, but I’m writing them in the order of ease of collecting my thoughts. Sorry about that 🙂 Maybe I’ll force the dates around some when I’m all done. We started out in Greenville, SC on the last day of our road trip. It was about 2 1/2 … Read more
A small British grocery store opened up right up the street, called The British Pedlar. The ladies who are running the store are very kind and they have just about everything that I remember from my childhood, when my mom would frequent the British grocery store in Virginia Beach OR she’d bring things back from … Read more
Hopefully everyone had an enjoyable Valentine’s Day? I did — Dave sent me on a scavenger hunt around the house finding one clue after another. The clues were tied into some pretty cryptic things about our marriage, such as “When we were stationed in Louisiana we learned to put this on all our food” and … Read more
First grocery shopping after moving into the new house. Hard to keep it to one cart. One of the symptoms of moving, is giving up a lot of the long-term items. In my case, things like ketchup, salad dressings, peanut butter and jelly and my stores of frozen foods. So today I replenished the stocks. … Read more
