Last Week and This Week

It was quite interesting to say the least. Other then seeing Dr. Collins I caught up with a really best friend of mine online from my teenage years. Jaelle Kaylor, man alive her and I had interesting lives when we were teenagers. We have been chatting since we caught up with each other. She still lives in Hannible, Missouri. It is wonderful getting in touch with a lot of the people I grew up with as a teenager that I miss dearly. Now I really have to go back home to visit so I can see Jaelle again.

Emerson and I finally are tired of my foot. We just want it to heal properly so I can get to my goals and life again. I really am hoping and praying things will be ok. I see Dr. Collins on Tuesday this week which will be good. We can see the progress on what is happening with the split. Plus this Thursday I see Dr. Peterson which will be good. In the mean time I am so nervous in seeing Peterson. I will get over it though I hope. I guess things will come one step at a time. Other then the two appointments as of right now there really isn't much going on for me. My life has been a little laid back since the foot. I try not to schedule a whole lot so my foot has a chance to heal properly I am hoping.

Goals For Life After Healing

I have many goals set for after I am released from Dr. Collins care of this foot that has been causing me problems now for almost 11 months come Aug 21st. The list is of the most importance for my husband and I for sure.

• Loose all the weight from all operations.
• Eat healthier since things have happened with Emerson's mother.
• Get a job in my degrees or try to.
• Future plans we will have to start like moving out of our complex maybe and other things we have discussed along those lines.
• Getting a life back once again that I had when we were first married and dating.

• Maybe travel to other states possibly if we can work it out. For sure we will be going to Minnesota, back to Nauvoo, Illinois, Georgia, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
  

These are just some of them. Some of them are big but, that is a goal and plan right now. I would also like to get a passport so that I can travel up to Canada with my husband and visit family up there. The states are friends, family, and his mission from when he went on a mission. I really want to do some more site seeing. I miss my site seeing days when I was younger.

Update

Well, it has been very hard starting August. I found out a very best friend of mine from college was killed the most brutal way from the email I got. That has been hard as well to get over. I have been talking to a few friends and my husband to help me out get over this. It is working slow but sure. Lisa and I did a lot together and I will miss her at the reunions. It will not be the same with out her.

Over the weekend on Sunday morning and not the evening, we had another brown out. I have had enough with brown outs. This time we were out of power for another 4 hours or so. Plus also on Saturday I had to go to a Dr. Flegal because Dr. Collins was up in the mountains camping with his four sons. My incision did in deed split again. I don't know why it split along with Collins. I saw him today and compared to over the weekend it has sealed up some what. I see him again next week to see the progress of the split. I am so hoping this will be quick in sealing up. It is painful right now because of the split but, it is only where the split is. The other part of the incision is fine.

JoLynn is doing better. She seems to be hanging in there along with Ray Lanier. Emerson is hanging in there. He is just waiting and waiting for everything to be fine with me. He is enjoying the time I have with him but it can get old very easily being together all the time. We need our times separate but not right now.

I have been keeping up with the Olympics since opening ceremony and it has been great. Yes granted I have lost a lot of sleep with everything going on but, I am getting better. I sleep and get up to see the primetime Olympics. It also gives me the chance to spend sometime with Emerson when he wakes up. Other then everything, things have been going ok for the most part. I am hoping I have no more complications. I would like to be able to get back on my feet longer then I am right now.
