Well lots has happened since my last post. I am back in the pink from my surgery, the Dr. has released me to do anything I feel like doing. I have also started my last quarter in college, hopefully. And yesterday the 10th of July 2011 I was sustained and set apart as the Branch President of the Dayton 1st Branch. The last few years have been full of miricales in my life all leading up to this calling. Now my course has been set, I just need to follow the Savior and eveything will take care of itself.

Received my grades for the spring qarter at Ohio University. I recieved three B+'s. Yup a B+ in all three classes I took during the spring. I was hoping for at least one A, but it was not to be. In the class that I thought I would get an A I missed it by 2 points. In the other two classes I missed A's by 3 points in each class. Over all ok. Now on to the summer quarter and my last three classes! Assuming that I pass all three of them I will graduate at the end of summer. Wish me luck.

Well now that I have heald, the Dr. says that I can mow my own yard and rototill the garden, and do anything else I feel like doing, except I am not to lift more than 10 lbs. yet, and never do any situps, darn it. The situp thing is because he is afraid that it will cause a hernia at the incision site. I doubt that it would but he is the Dr. Health wise everything is good, my wieght is down to 225 now, Dr. Watson wants me to weigh 210, so I am not to far away from the goal. I think with a little work I can make it. I go back to the surgen for one last time in about three more weeks, then he is done with me and counts it as a job well done. He is an excellent Dr. with a good bed side manner, Dr. Paul O'brien if any of you ever need cut on.

My walks are up to 2.5 miles now, and I haven't fallen since the first fall several weeks ago. The road rash is all heald up, and I am good to go!

Out for a walk

Just went for a walk again, all was going well till I started to head home. Then for some reason, I tripped and fell, not your normal fall where you catch yourself with your hands, I fell litterally flat on my face. I did not pass out or anything like that, just tripped an fell. Needless to say I have road rash on the right side of my face and on my chin, blood etc. Overall I'm ok, no problems with my recent surgery etc. just my face and the road rash.

Thanks for the help!

I have been recovering from my recent surgery. So far my grass has been mowed every week by one of our sons or sons in law, the bushes we wanted pulled out are gone and the bushes we wanted trimmed are trimmed. With lots of help from our kids and there spouses, more work has been done since I've been off duty than two years of me on duty! Thanks to one and all for all the help!

Angels

Some people belive in Angels and some people don't. I for one do, and I have proof, you see I am married to one. My Angel wife Laurie who has, and is taking such good care of me during my recovery and healing from my recent surgery. She is always available to help me, even though she is working day and night to support us, since I am unemployed. She carries on without sleep, never stopping to think of herself. She is truley my Angel wife. I love her with all my heart. Thank you Laurie. I LOVE YOU !

Long two weeks

I returned home from the hospital on Tuesday this week, after a two week hospital stay to fix an obstructed small intestine. This was the longest two weeks of my life. I am now doing well and trying to complete my recovery. So far so good, however, I can not drive my car, can not mow my yard, can not lift more than 10 lbs. etc. ..........
