I think I have to add to this blog periodically or it will drop. May has been interesting month for us. All started out well and then went down the tubes in a hurry. Tom was going to do a fishing tournament - a first in many years. He was pre-fishing with his partner when he started experiencing excruciating abdominal pains. He headed home. I took one look at his expanding belly and we headed up to the emergency room. To make a very long story short - we have spent too many days in the hospital AND Tom missed his tournament.
Tom had an obstructed bowel and had surgery. He got home on Tuesday the 19th and we've been easing back into a regular diet. Tom is still recovering - and I'm trying to stay calm and patient. I was supposed to go spend a week with our grandsons but that was out of the question. Today is our 34th anniversary - we might celebrate by adding another vegetable to the menu! We will get to see the grandsons soon and life will get back to normal, I'm sure. Wish it would hurry up though.
In between, David did insist he stay his dad while I attended my niece's graduation in Colorado. At the time, we thought Tom had an ulcer and just needed some IV time to help it heal. At the same time, Karyn was in Littleton playing in an Alumni band for her high school band instructor's retirement. My mom, sister, and I were able to attend that, too. I love watching Karyn perform. So the month wasn't all bad and I am really grateful that David "insisted" I go to Colorado.
