DOES IT EVER END???

Poor guy has pneumonia again! He can't seem to get better and stay better. Finally this summer he was able to walk again but had to stopat the beginning of September because he got sick. I was gone to Colorado and he did ok. Complained about having sinus issues. When I got home I had to turn around the next day to go to Orem to help Adam and Julie move. Of course Larry got sick! We came home a couple of days later and I took him to the Dr. He got a couple of shots which seemed to help. Meantime I got sick but like most women I only pent 2 days laying low. I am sure now I had the same thing just not as severe as Larry. He went to the Dr. and had a chest exray done and they confirmed the pneumonia! So for the last 4 weeks he has been down! I hope that we can get him better so he can enjoy some of life. Seems like he sometimes just doesnt want to be better and likes being sick!!!

STAYING POSITIVE

So somedays are wonderful, spectacular and downright awesome...and somedays are well...just great. We sure have had the illness around here! We did make it to California later in Febuary and part of March but Larry spent most of the time feeling sick...he still was dealing with the shingles and then he came down with a bad cold and it turned into a cough and then and so on. After going to a specialist he found out that he will need some sinus surgery to get them open and functioning correctly. That will happen in May. Then the other day I had an explosion in my head and throat and ears, went to his specialist and now I have to have sinus surgery to scrape my sinus. This I am not happy about...it will take a couple of weeks before I can really do anything afterwards! I am not sure if I can deal with that. And then he will have his surgery...fun times ahead!! So staying positive is going to be a challenge i think!

SHINGLES AND NOT THE ROOFING KIND

Today I need this...Larry has shingles and I have not had the chicken pox...so this should be interesting...since I have already been exposed then I guess I don't need to leave. We are suppose to be taking our yearly birthday trek to SoutherN California for my birthday...well it doesn't look like we will be going this year...my poor sweetheart can't seem to get a break. Needless to say he is very down in the mouth about this one. And selfish me is very disappointed about not going to the beach!

SWIMMING

Love going to the pool early in the morning. Right now the air outside is crisp and clean and so refreshing. Inside the pool area is warm and inviting. The water feels like warm silk against your skin. Yes I could live in the water. When I was a kid that is where I always was...if you couldn't find me I was in the pool at my friends house. I loved it there. Something about water that makes me feel alive. When I was pregnant with my daughters (who were due in the summer) those last few months I would head to the pool to get relief. I can't explain why but I know that is where I love to be the most. So a few years ago when I made a new friend we headed off to the pool to get some exercise. Best decision for me and I have an awesome friend because of it. Now my husband has finally seen the light and he is joining me in the water. I love being able to spend that time with him! Usually I am not into the astrological signs but mine is Aquarius which is water. So heres to being the best noodle floater at the pool!

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED

Somedays I feel like I take the road less traveled A LOT! I know I don't always fit in and that is ok but it can lead to a little stress. Although the road less traveled has gotten me to where I want to be. I am grateful for that. We all make mistakes but the trick is to learn from them and keep going. We make the best decisions with the information that we have at the time. The next day we may get a new piece of information and it can make our previous decision look foolish. Keep going down the road that you feel is right for you!
