A Month of .....UGH!
Finding a moment to post, I thought I would update you on what has been happening.
Somewhere around March 10th I got this wild idea from an article I read, to start walking (a form of exercise) and eating better.  So, I started walking twice a day and eating better.  Didn't last long.  On March 18th my husband hurt his knee while warming up and stretching out to go walk with me.  A week later he can hardly walk on it and on the 27th was admitted to the hospital for an infection in his leg.  They called it cellulitis.  (It ended up being Methicillin Resistant Staphalocuccus Aureus) Two days later, surgery to remove the infection, four days later another surgery to remove more infection.  He left the hospital April 7th with two open wounds (left like that for the infection to drain)  He had three days of i.v. infusion through a picc line in his arm.  We changed the dressing every other day. (no time to walk and less time to eat right)  On April 18th & 19th we went to the Indiana Home Educators Convention in Indianapolis. (plenty of walking...still not eating right)  The doctor encouraged him to walk as much as possible and so he DID.  He went fishing yesterday and tomorrow we go to court to finalize his adoption of Sweet Maggnolia.  Not sure, but I THINK after that we can take a breather!
Oh, and I started my exercise/eat healthier plan again!

You all been through a lot this past month! The adoption yesterday was just too sweet. Thanks for letting us be a part of it. Now, back to walking and eating healthier! I guess, I should start back up too. :) I can't say that I am waiting for you anymore.
Enjoy this beautiful day!

O Lou! I hear our pain and understand. :) Back in March somewhere I got derailed from my eating right, I still haven't gotten back to it and the whole exercise thing . . .does running up and down the stairs to do laundry count?! :) On a possitive note, Bob's blood pressure is coming down since he started his Low Sodium diet again. 500mg. a day or less. Yes, it is possible if you make everything from scratch and use Mrs. Dash in recipes. :) Your family is still in our prayers. :)
Hope to see you again soon.
Marie :)
