Well we are off!!!

Well after much debate, we are going on a vacation. We decided that with all the upcoming events that will be happening, we definately need one. More later on that! So come Friday, we will be packing the new car and slowly driving to Holden beach and spending the week there with our friends Bonnie and Larry Spoon, like last year.

Rest assured there will be sewing machines humming (Bonnie will be bringing Corrie's and hers and we will take mine). Bonnie and I are already stacking up the puzzles. That is one thing we all enjoy doing. So if we have bad weather we will have plenty to do. This year we will be oceanfront so that will be extra nice.

Roger is making sure we don't drive far in one day with my back. So we will make the usually easy trip for most people in two days rather than one. Reservations have been made for Greensboro for the stop. It is only a 3 hr. drive there from our house. About half way.

I am looking forward to the sand and hopefully the sunshine! Roger is looking forward to just relaxing! Poof fella has been working in Richmond and south of Richmond for 3 weeks now. That is a commute of 2 hours or more each way each day. Plus he has been working on installing new heat pumps and wiring them in our church on the weekends. Talk about one pooped fella! He sure needs the relaxation of a week off.

When we get back, I will be facing surgery. My family Dr, therapist, and the pelvic floor disorder specialist all agreed that I should not wait any longer. That it is time to have the surgery before any more organs become involved by the nerve damage. They told me that if I wait, I am facing serious possibilities for further damage. After being told the other possibilities, I nervously and reluctantly agreed to let them call the surgeon and schedule the surgery. We are now in the "waiting" stage for the surgery to be set up.

Meanwhile I am off coffee, soda and anything carbonated. Man that leaves very little to drink other than water and fruit juices. So guess what I drink in the mornings now. I have a cup of microwaved hot water and pretend I am drinking coffee. This morning Roger was so cute he said would you like it with cream? I said I don't believe so....

The last visit with the surgeon he told me the risks and told me to think about it and to let him know when I was ready for surgery. He told me then that his surgery schedule was scheduled about a month in advance so I imagine it is no sooner now. I received a call on Friday but was not home to get it from him, he said he would review my file over the weekend so I expect a call sometime soon. I will keep you posted as to when my surgery is... But for now, I am going on vacation and going to try and take my mind off it.... ta ta for now. Luv and hugs
