These Three Love the Pool

NYC - It's As Good As They Say

I just returned from 4 days in New York City with Sandi and Dianne. We were able to visit most of the hot spots like, Central Park, Meatpacking District, walked the Highline, shopped in SoHo, ate pizzia in Greenwich Village, Dinner in Time's Square, toured ground zero, ferried the harbor/saw Lady Liberty, and travelled from our home base of grand central station by subway to most of these places. We did take a subway twice for dinners.

I loved the history, active lifestyle and multiple choices for anything you want to do/see/eat.

Now, I can daydream about how to move there....

Snow Week

Coldest temperatures I remember in Dallas. We got to single digits this week.

This is Winter in Dallas

I had to get a picture of little Coco in the snow today. Waylon loved it too. Who would guess we would have so much winter weather?

6-Weeks After Surgery

As of yesterday...

My left foot is doing AWESOME. I'm ready to dance a jig. The right foot had a set back a week ago. Remember that pin which stuck out of the side of my big toe joint? Well, Scout jumped out of my jeep and landed on it. Needless to say, it caused some trauma to the site. I snapped the picture below after the doctor pulled the pin out. The wound on my foot was so disturbing that he covered it with a gauze when he walked out of the room, and I couldn't bring myself to lift it. It hurt like a sonofabitch too.

The following two days were super painful. I had to use the crutches again, go back to the pain medication just to get through the night, and also was forced back to antibiotics to treat the new infection that had set in. Whew, my foot swelled up and was bright red.

Today, my right foot is almost recovered from that infection and trauma. However, it remains rather stiff and uncomfortable. I'm slightly concerned that after two surgeries my right big toe may continue to be problematic. I'll have to depend on the big surgeon in the sky to make it right at this point. faith, faith, faith.

It Itches

My stitches ITCH so badly that I've been so tempted to just cut the strings out myself, rub some ointment on them and call it a day. I mean, seriously, the itching is HORRIBLE.

thank you
