written for my weekly blog would be nothing short of insignificant. (Besides, I had an episode with my laptop which resulted in probably ruining it. My call to the GeekSquad yesterday confirmed those suspicions.) So, now it's another Monday, and wah-lah, out of the blue, I fired up my laptop and it's mostly ok...I will try to catch up on the Simmons happenings.
Good to know that my face is almost back to normal with the exception of what looks like dark circles under my eyes. And, my rib isn't quite so painful- at least I'm off the narcotics and using very little of the muscle relaxants.
Last week was really a test to see just how much one with a broken rib can handle, as we packed all of the stuff at our old office in preparation to be moved on Friday (last). Two moving vans full! The technicians will work today and tomorrow to install the equipment, then we will spend Wednesday and Thursday unpacking and putting all of the supplies away. I'm excited to see how everything looks when we are all settled. The plan is to begin seeing patients again on Monday, the 30th.
And, speaking of moving, the Frost home is pretty close to being completed. I picked Gabi up from school last Friday, and we were able to get in to view the progress. Gabi told the mason workers that she was "allowed in because it was her house". It is going to be beautiful! Gramma was with us and had to check out the cupboards in the kitchen!
Spencer started a new job at the hospital and seems to be getting quite a workout delivering supplies all over the hospital. I think he's enjoying being at work again! Just for fun, they took this picture of him on his first day of work as the kids had one taken on their first day of school!
Amie and Curt are busy with their family and jobs. We were all thrilled last week when Matt and Heather announced that they are having a girl. Very exciting. Rory got his braces on last week- hope he's doing ok- that can be pretty painful. Today was his first day of school to show his new smile.
Sophie and Gabi have been busy with birthday parties and recently attended a slumber party held by their friend, Emi.
That's Sophie in the light pink top, dark pink skirt and Gabi in burgundy. Bet they got tons of rest. (as did the hosting parents).
Last weekend, Brad had to be the "electrician on site" for the annual Cattle Baron's Ball, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. It's a really big bash where the party goers spend months finding just the right outfit for the $800 a couple dinner. Brad was told to bring me and come back when the band (Travis Tritt) began playing, which was about 10:00 pm. We went and until we had a couple of drinks, I felt like an under dressed party crasher! The band was good and the venue was fabulous...well worth seeing! (Especially without the huge entry fee).
We also went to Cheyenne and played bridge yesterday. Kind of a long day, but just impressed that we can still go and play. Got home about 12 hours after leaving to find that Gramma had left the refrigerator door open all day (apparently she didn't hear the beeping noise that it makes if the door isn't shut) so we had some water to clean up. Oh boy.....
Thursday we go back to Denver to see Dr. Ney where Brad will have another MRI. I'm anxious for this appointment as he has had some pretty significant memory losses in the past month. I fantasize that Dr. Ney will share some reason for why this is happening (tumor returning?), but doubt that their will be anything definitive. I felt bad today as I was feeling really down and it was HE who tried to cheer ME up. Oh brother, how does that make me feel? He looks forward to watching the Bronco game tonight, although he claims not to be a fan after their last season!
Corbin spent his birthday money at Target this weekend and was transformed into a Ninja Turtle....
He is still enjoying his new Kindle....watching movies and playing games.
