After 5 weeks of resting up (for the most part - I heard about the lawn mowing, dad!!) my dad has gone for his testing this week to see what the doctor will plan do from here: surgery or medication. We will hear the results eaither tonight or tomorrow, so we will continue to pray that God touches his heart and strengthen the muscles and will guide the doctors to do what is best.
In order to help pass the time, dad has taken up doing model cars, planes and boats. What started out as a distraction attmept, I think has grown into a passion for him. Now adorning my parents fireplace mantel and entertainment center are about a dozen cars, two ships and a couple of planes (and I am sure that I have underestimted these numbers!). These are treasures from this time in our lives when we have all been reminded of just how much he means to every single person in our family.
Is it possible to break your little (or as I call it - pinky) toe? If so, I think I have. I stubbed (or is it stumped?) it on the couch early this morning before anyone else was even awake. Usually it hurts really bad at first, and then the pain goes away after a few minutes. It didn't. My toes are normally pretty stumpy and Flinstone-like anyway, but my little toe swelled to about twice it's size and resembled a little fat sausage. We had places to go this morning, so I got ready (putting on shoes was painful) and just had to limp a little to ease the pain. But when I got home and took my shoes off, I found that half of my foot had turned several shades of blue and purple. I can walk OK, it will just take a day or two to get better - I hope...
May husband of almost a decade now (wow!) had his happy birthday yesterday. Matthew turned 31, and we had a great day together.
