Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Yes, I know, I am early today. I woke up at the time I usually get up during the week and couldn't go back to sleep. Might as well get out of bed and use the hours. The sun is just coming up to join me. What did we do this week? Amanda has enjoyed a week of rest before jumping into classes next week. Lots of sleep, hanging out with friends, and going to movies have kept her occupied. Her traditional grad classes start tomorrow. Serra and I did a thing this week. We got her moved into college! The staff was amazed at her packing job when we pulled up and unloaded. They...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I've been awake since 430 am which is my normal weekday waking time. Part of me says I should have gotten out of bed and the day started. The rest of me is glad that I took the time to relax, something I rarely do. The sun is shining bright, and hopefully will not get too hot today. What did we do this week? Amanda finished up her time in the OR as part of her grad program at Rochester. She has seen so many interesting surgeries over the past five weeks including a cochlear implant. This next week will be spent resting up and attending GTA training. What I don't think they realize yet...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's quiet here in my little corner of the Fort so far as everyone is asleep. Guessing that will change quickly as Daddy is headed home and Serra has a day planned out with her friend that I'm sure will turn into a sleepover; they always do. I have been loving the rain and cooler temperatures this week. Turning off the AC and having the windows open to sleep is my favorite. What did we do this week? More of the same for Amanda with viewing surgeries and writing up OR notes. She got to see some good ones this week with a hip replacement and a triceps tendon repair. I am so glad she...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! As usual for this time of year, the sun is bright and shiny already today promising another day of heat. No worries for me inside as Daddy came over on Friday and we have had the air conditioning on. According to the forecast, cooler temperatures will be here later in the week, and they can't arrive soon enough. Some rain would be welcome also as the area is dealing with a massive wildfire. I thought we had made it through fire season and August decided to prove me wrong. What have we been up to this week? More of the same for Amanda with OR visits and surgeries to watch. Hopefully the jar of green...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is bright and shiny into my window with the promise of more heat to come this afternoon. I was hoping the bit of thunderstorms we had last night would last for a while, maybe they will be back this afternoon. This time of year also brings a memory from home as it is Palisade Peach Season! What did we do this week? Amanda had another full week of surgeries to attend. One that was thought to be only a two-hour procedure turned into eight, making for a long Friday. She and two other students are hoping to get over to the orthopedic portion of the hospital to view more types of surgery. The...
