life is moving on

let's go back to last Wednesday night.  It was the closing of the SAIA convention.  Cocktail party was great, dinner and awards ceremony was wonderful...my husband gives good speech but you can't convince him of that.  After party was a blast.  Band was great.  The best part was a "typewriter poet".  I sat down with him and he asked me what my passion was - of course I said family - he wanted to know how many children and if I had grandchildren - I gave him the answers and then he started typing away only pausing to think for a few seconds, the back to typing.....when he finished he read the poem to me and brought tears to my eyes.  He totally nailed it.  I'll try to get the picture of the poem in this entry.  Anyway party was good. 
Next day (Thursday) I actually got to spend some time with my husband.  We spent the majority of the day at the WWII museum.  It was awesome.  We stayed until closing which was amazing.  They play taps over the sound system everyday and it echoes thru the streets.  It will give you chills.  I highly recommend it to anyone going to the NOLA area. 
Friday we are packed and flying back home.  Weekend was quiet and Jim left on his way back to Columbia Monday morning. 

Monday was spent taking taking Jake to the Orthopedist in Ocala to have fluid drained off his knee.  He was a trooper.  He was told not to overuse the knee or go back to work for a week and use knee pads from now on and he should be fine. 

Tues was my turn to get results from heart monitor.  Everything came back normal ...yea!!!!  Now we get ready to unblock my left leg Friday.  Hopefully this will be with no complications this time (passing out).  Actually looking forward to be able to walk again without pain.
