SO where have you been???

Well let's see, we will go back in time to 7/10/2008. My husband had knee surgery which went from minor to major. He had a piece of bone which died due to lack of blood supply, then broke off and was getting caught in his joints,OUCH!, which would cause his knee to lock. So the doctor found the missing piece and removed it pretty simple, until he found the HOLE where the bone piece broke from, causing him to have to do a bone graph and drill holes around the area to hopefully bring back the blood supply and heal the new bone and knee area. Today he is still home and off of work, but recovering well and is now able to bare weight on his leg 75% of the time. He is now back to driving and can take himself to his therapies, between driving James to school, his therapies and my husbands all I was doing was going in circles. But that's how we ROLL!!

We also had to put our 6 year old chocolate lab down on 7/12 due to cancer. The saddest thing ever... James is such a trooper though. He was with us when we put Rocko to sleep, he knew he was sick because of the throwing up and all the trips back and forth to te doctor. He for a while thought Rocko would be coming home, and occasionally would say go get Rocko now, I explained to him that Rocko is up in the sky now and is not sick anymore but has to stay there with the other doggies. I told him he is up above our house, he then went out side looked up in the sky waived and said Hi Rocko! I started crying.... But we are going to get a new puppy for him at Christmas time.

James started Pre-school 8/11 and so far so good. Monday I stayed with him for parent orientation so no problem, Tuesday he cried, Wednesday looked a little nervous and by Thursday he waived, said by MaMa and was wisked away byArianna, a sweet, beautiful little 3 year old who I think is turning 30. She and him are inseparable already. So cute.

BIG NEWS!!!
I to will be going back to school, for nursing(RN) I start my pre-reqs next week and should be practicing as an RN by the time I get my first social security check, said very well by another friend who is has started the very same program. I am thrilled and anxious as well as nervous to get started. But never to late and no better time than now.

Well I hope I still have readers because things are going to get interesting. I hope to be better about posting but if I am gone for a while you will no why, now. Take care. Tracy
