Sigh....
Well, I am getting better day by day from my Limbo crash (almost 60 y/o women probably should NOT do the Limbo). The swelling has mostly drizzled down from my knee to mid-shin and looks like a tumor there. I can walk without crutches as long as I have my bionic woman (complete with "dial-a-bend) brace on. The blessing of the whole thing is discovering a grade 2 leak in my mitral valve which needs to be followed yearly. Would not have known about that without needing a pre-op clearance for the knee surgery. Back to crutches after surgery on Wednesday but only for a few days. Once I'm healed, I'm gonna keep dancing.... but I promise to skip the Limbo from now on!

New Normal
Well, here I go again with yet another adjustment to make to the "new normal" in life :-)
Hmmmm, partial list of stuff to do while I "adjust"...not in any particular order: regular quiet time IN THE MORNING when I have a brain; some kind of daily physical exercise (swimming, walking, push mowing, gardening, dancing); weed out unnecessary junk from the house; tackle the out-of-control garage; 30 hours of nurse/birth educator continuing ed before March (women's health and labor induction); do fun stuff with Doug when he is in town; work on Jesse's and Janna's ancestry album and then start one for Ruth, Jonathan and Josh; hang out with friends; CLG Shalom study and ladies' Bible study; Wednesday AM's at New Life; misc. doctors' appts for routine maintenance; look forward to Ruth's next visit; take Mom somewhere fun every week; etc., etc., etc..... Ok, no excuses for moping around missing my hubby and kids while they are gone....too busy and too much to do :-)

Update
I am a lousy picture album keeper and evidently a very irregular blogger! Almost a year later and I'm finally posting something new!
Doug and Ruth are almost to Reno, NV as I type. Ruth is moving there for her second travel nurse post (the first was in Colorado). Doug will fly back to Vegas on Monday where he works M-Th most weeks.
Maybe I'll be able to "steal" a few photos from Ruth to post of her drive from Boulder to Reno. Lonely and bleak along much of the drive but also beautiful from what they tell me.
