Trip Log

August 11, 2008

We had a good day yesterday with the girls.  It rained most of the day so it was a quiet 'media' day to include shopping, TV, movies, Wii and reading.  This morning we picked up Bailey and Bridget which kicked things up a notch or two.  We went to the tour at Herr's Potato chip factory.  It was v

We are about ready to begin a week of Camp Nana-Papa. The shirts are made. I even have a 'Staff' shirt. That way we don't forget who the Sancho is in this adventure. Mike's girls are due this evening and they will stay until next Saturday.

Stopped by the doctors yesterday on the way to Jeff's birthday celebration.  He said that there were no signs if infection on my blood test so it sounds like we are in the clear.  Good news but we'll keep a close eye on things for the next few weeks just to be sure.  Before cake at Jeff's, we wer

Finished IV antibiotic treatment on the 21st.  Had stopped draining the week before and haven't started up again.  The muscles seem a little sore but I don't really know what I should feel like.  I had a blood test yesterday and we are waiting to see if the infection returns.  So far so good.   W

Even with my hip problem we have been relatively active since our last posting in May although I need to spend less time in the house.  We went to Jeff's for a Memorial Day picnic and the next week to Bridget's pre-school graduation.  Alesa works out every morning and then works outside for much

My hip healing was going great but about 4 weeks ago the incision was starting to drain which didn't seem right so we went to the doctor the next week.  His initial diagnosis was that it was an infection which is a disaster in a hip replacement.   He was not sure so he took 3 separate cultures an

Tomorrow is Elyse's 8th birthday and, per Nana's tradition, she is spending the weekend.  They went birthday shopping this morning while I stayed home and did chores.  I am almost 100% with a limp when I get tired and sore but there is nothing it is keeping me from doing.  This afternoon we did m

For Mothers' Day we went to Jeff & Danielle's for a brunch and then back home as Mike & Lisa were coming over.  Mike went shopping and cooked us dinner on the barbeque.  Both events were great meals and even better company.  Yesterday we went to Mike & Lisa's and to the Abington Art C

Today we have been home for three weeks and tomorrow it will be four weeks since my surgery.  I am now walking with a limp but not crutches, walker or cane.
