The Day After

We, or I, was up early. I made it to the gym for a good workout which I’m paying for this morning. Mom made french toast for the boys and I was showered and ready for the day by 8:30. After my 9m conference call I was out the door at 9:30 for downtown. Then it was a trip up north for a meeting. On the way I was on the phone with the misses doctors in Vail and then with a specialist down here at the orthopedic clinic in Golden. I somehow managed to get the misses in at 3:50.

The misses spent the day on the couch so I did some laundry, cleaned the kitchen, made the bed and so on. Grandma agreed to watch the boys from 3:15 on which turned out to be until 5:30 when we arrived home from the doctor. The boys first went out to the pasture and played by the empty pond in the snow before they came in for some hot coco with marsh mellows. Grandma said they were very well behaved.

Meanwhile the misses and I sat in the waiting room for 30 minutes past our appointment time before getting in. Then after she put on some attractive shorts they supplied her, she was off for x-rays. We’re happy to report that nothing is broken and her hips look pretty good with not much arthritis. They then took x-rays of her spine which meant another wait and found a lower disc sort of jutting out that might be pinching a nerve. The doctor, who was very nice and apologetic for our wait, and who seemed very qualified, said this has probably been going on for some time and to rest for a week with anti-inflamotories to calm it down. So all in all, a pretty good visit.

We picked up the boys and went home to try to find some leftovers for dinner. We settled on french toast and lasagna. (The oldest had the french toast) Then we watched Men in Black 3 until bed time around 8:30 and that was it.

Hope your day was just as fun! It’s still cold but we don’t mind. I have some work to do in an hour or so and everyone is still sleeping. I have to find something fun for the boys to do today plus I need to clean out the basement and run up to Boulder.

Time to get ready for 2013 as that’s the next big event. Take care and have a great day and God Bless.
