I finally feel like posting again. For a while everything I had to say was so blue and sad I did not feel like writing about it. I've been taking some vitamins and some new meds and I have perked up. Of course I have not been anywhere or done anything so I really have nothing to blog about.
SHep is still in Australia and given half a chance I think he would stay. We are all green and want to plan a trip for ourselves. He dived on the Great Barrier Reef and gave us an e-mail update on flora, fauna, history and all he met. How small the world is today
Hubby was in a time trial for bicycle racers ( there were not too many in his age bracket of 60 plus) but he did manage to win a point or two for the team. At 75 I think it was fantastic. He has held us together during all these trials I"ve added to our lives. I am again waiting for a date for surgery.
Megan is busy working on me. Trying to find ways to get more exercise and better nutrition. With her busy schedule I am impressed she has found time. She has been a cheerful encorager when I needed it the most.
Thanks to everyone for the e-mails, phone calls and cards. They reaaly do help.

Hey glad to see you around blogging and to hear things are going better - keeping you in my thoughts! =)
So glad to see you are getting your feet back under you. I know it can take quite a while sometimes. I keep hoping life will settle down enough for me to try to pop over and knit a bit with you, but alas...
Will keep you in my thoughts and hope for a good surgery date for you.
Take Care :)
Please send me an email with your phone# again, I seemed to have misplaced the other one.
Then once I get home from work later this morning, I will give you a call and we can go to Knit Wits together - how does that sound??
Lovely to hear from you, glad things are better. I'm sorry I haven't got round to e-mailing you earlier, it's been pretty busy here but be assured you've been in my thoughts.
I decided to slide down a hill on my left side, the grass was dewy and slippery and I bashed all my left side so it's been an interesting week, mostly back to normal by now, but with a few extra aches and pains. I haven't even got a few bruises to show off as I was on the Arnica straight away which helps.
Anyway, hope things keep heading in the right direction for you.
Best wishes
Chris
