Surgery Survived

By Pam Jorgensen -
Here's how our experience went...

The night before, Scott had a blessing, then Toby showed his concern by sleeping on Scott
We actually woke up and made it to the hospital BEFORE the Surgery Waiting area was even open!! We were very impressed with ourselves
 Scott got all checked in
 Then they preped him for the surgery. The doctor came in and put his initials right on the shoulder to be operated on. It reminded us of when I had my knee surgery, except then the docs put a huge NO! on the wrong knee
 Ready to go! Nice hat!


 This is how I kept up with his progress. Although I did go home to check on the kids, when I got back I could see what his progress was. He was patient # 5115...you can see he was in the operating room at this point
 Recovery...he was sooooooooooooooooo *gasp for air* oooooooooooooooooooooooo sleepy
 Here he is barely awake...just enough for us to get him into a wheelchair and then into the car and then into his bed
 This picture is after several hours of sleep but before several more hours of sleep. About 8:00pm tonight he finally roused enough to get up and eat and walk around and help me get the kids into bed for SCHOOL TOMORROW!!! (They have been out for their 2.5 week fall break - I love the 2 week break, it's the .5 they tack on at the end that drives me over the edge)

Since I feel like a lame sister for not calling to check on Scott, I'm so glad you updated us! SO glad he's doing well...and wondering how Toby liked his trip to Costa Rica! :)

I can't believe Scott let you take all those pictures (LOL). I hope he is doing well! Tell him our prayers are with him :-)

Ouch! My dad and uncle both had this done. They say it takes about a year for the pain to go away and to heal completely. Did they warn Scott of that? Better in the long run though.

Has my absence made your heart grow fonder?

By Pam Jorgensen -
Just wondering... I'm back I'm behind I'm intimidated There is no way that I can "catch up" with this blog.  It's a daunting task.  It's one reason I'm so far behind!  I want to post but then I see the enormous amount of time and posts that have past since my last and I walk away. So...I will sum up.   Sorry...wordy and no pictures. After our fun trip to Moberly, MO, we joined Jen, her kids and Gma J in a caravan to SLC for the Plewe Family Reunion.  We were so excited to be traveling with family making travel life more fun with cousins!  We did have fun but the hellish travel trends continued to plague us!  At one stop Gma locked her keys in the car...we waited for a LONG time till AAA could come and break us in.  This put us into our first stop pretty late but nothing unmanageable.  However, when we got to our hotel in Cheyenne, WY the hotel we had a reservation at (and called to confirm just a couple hours before) had given our ...
