the foot...


My new boot! Lovely...no exercise on it for 4 more weeks. But I can walk on this one.

Update on foot and the boys are flying















Hi everyone-
I thought I should replace the pictures of my open foot with something a little better. Big cast off tomorrow, I can't wait.

The pictures of the boys are from them earning their Aviation merit badge with the boy scouts.

They got to fly with a pilot and one other scout from Gillespe field in El Cajon to Ramona. Land switch pilots then fly back. They had a great time.

Laura's Foot Surgery



Laura had surgery on Tuesday for her torn extenser tendon from an accident at work. Tuesday evening she was doing well but Wednesday was another matter. She had a not so pleasant reaction to the pain meds which resulted in a day spent nauseous and vomiting in waves. She opted to stop taking the pain meds which of course meant after awhile the foot pain was combined with the vomiting, not a great day! In the afternoon she called the dr, a prescription was issued for anti-vomiting and by the evening, she was eating, drinking and actually coherent!!
