Dr. Appt Today

The GuitarMan went back to the doctor today. They removed the temporary cast he had and checked the pins. He said that was the weirdest sensation to have those pins sticking out! His finger looks great and now that it is straight it is even more obvious how bad it was.

I wish in a way that I had pictures from all along. But, honestly, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I still get a funny feeling when I see the dent in the side of his vehicle.

Anyway they have him in a fiberglass cast now. The doctor came in and showed the techs exactly how he wanted the cast. It was really a challenge they said. But the way it was done he can move some of the joints above the breaks. That is why the doc was so precise about it, he is trying to preserve mobility. At this point, stiffness is the main threat. He got a black cast to match his tux for male chorale. They start tour this week. :)

We'll go back Monday and if all is going well he will remove the pins right there in the office. Then therapy will begin. If he is still having problems in 3 months he will have another surgery. So we are all going to bathe this thing in prayer so we don't have to face that ordeal!

    Glad to hear he is doing well. We will certainly pray for no more surgery! But the Lord's will as always.

    Does the chorale have a tour schedule out? I would LOVE to hear them! It has been probably 8 or 9 years since I have heard them!

    Patty,
    Yes, his hand looks so much better now even with pins sticking out! We are just praying all of this will be a problem of the past soon. Thanks again so much for remembering us in prayer.
    God bless you!

    Shana,
    Yes, no matter how anything "appears" we want to be in God's will!
    I have been begging that boy of mine to give me a schedule LOL and he has yet to give me one. When I get one I will be sure to post it. I am hoping that perhaps they will be performing somewhere close enough for us to go sometime.

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!

Power Bills

We lucked out last month on our power bill. We received a credit on our bill which helped tremendously. A lot of folks were shocked at how high their bills were, however. I can't blame them! Some of the figures I heard were outrageous! $500-600, one even $1200! One thing that got me was that many of these people work outside the home and their children are in school or daycare so the house stands empty all day. Not only that, but their families are much smaller so things like the washer, dryer, or stove would not be used as frequently. Shouldn't their bill be lower than ours? I think it has everyone trying to come up with ways to save on power. There are some things that are a given. Good insulation and windows go a long way towards helping lower a bill. When we first moved into our home the windows were very old. Some were cracked or even broken. The church eventually replaced them which was a huge blessing! But what were we to do in the meantime? Well, one way is to buy th...
