enjoying the summer 6-4-08
wow a month has flown by and I didn't get much done..... *sigh* life has been alright. I have been somewhat under the weather. I've not been.. "happy" I've had my happy moments and my totally life is worth living hours but.... I just.... thats it really I'm JUST..... I'm not really "un-happy" I feel like I've been happier. I have alot I want to get done and I have alot of stuff on my mind. but I have no motivation to get everything started. (I'm so frustrated with myself)..
The riding accident is when I really noticed my mood begin to be less enthusiastic. I went to a great Dr. the day after the accident. when I realized that I could not move... ( like literally) i knew I needed help. I called Debbie for help, and then later had my mom help me get out of bed. * I still shutter to remember that pain*.... I decide to try Debbie's chiropractor, to make sure i didn't have any broken bones. ( I didn't think I broke anything) so i go to the Dr. I get x-rays and then got worked on for over three hours. I didn't break anything... but I did sprain and strain my L4, L5, sacrum, pelvis,hip joint, and shoulder. *all on my right* I got ultrasound, muscle stem, adjustments, hot packs and cold packs and trigger point therapy. *it is amazing that my recovery time for the real painful stuff was so short!! *I owe the Dr. a great big thanx cause, I don't know what I would have done without his God giving ability to help people like me.* .....I needed help with everything.. I now see how much we take for granted everyday! just rolling over in bed is a blessing, i now think about.. I went the the Dr. twice a day for four straight days. by day 3 I was completely walking on my own without the assistance of wall and people. lol I was back to work on my next work day. I have to say it was a terrible day working... lol the pain was not mild... I took my back brace off last week and I'm still adjusting to having my full weight on my right side without the assistance of the brace. I get sharp pain that crawls up my right hip and back but, I can't say it really bothers me when I compare it to what it was like when this whole thing happened.
Even with this crazy accident I was back to working with Dusty 4 days later. The horse is still crazy and untrained!! gurr that horse is really riding my nerves.... * I wish i knew a local trainer that would be willing to help me* * working alone just isn't cutting it!*
Echoa is doing good, she is very round.... I find out tomorrow how many puppies she is going to have. she is due in 8 days! weee... April has been sick once so far.
The family went to the cabin memorial weekend. mom brought Sheri who was visiting from cali, straight form the airport to the cabin.. lol haha no flushing bathroom and no lights.. Scott, Kristy, Karloyn, Sarah, and I drove up in their car. Debbie and Brian drove up in debs truck, we wanted the four wheeler so deb and I had to make our own ramps cause I was dumb and couldn't find the real ones... anyway.. three cars up at the cabin isn't a bad thing.. the bugs were not a problem at all!! it was so great!! Kristy, Debbie, Brian, and I all went four wheeling. * we wanted to go mud bogging BUT u have to have mud.... it was raining the day before and the day of when we went to the cabin. so we thought there would be mud... nope hardly anything!!! * the trails were rutty and deep but not muddy.* grins after driving the trails my back and side were hurting pretty bad, and my arms and shoulders were sore!!! lol so sore!! ( I had to keep the four-wheeler o the train and outa the deep gobble us whole rutts.) We had a very nice time at the cabin! Dad didn't get to come cause he was in St. Paul, AK finishing a job.
Sheri got to visit us for a week that was great, although she was really quiet...
Dad and I have finished half the dance floor!! it looks fantastic!! dad has to finish the wall and windows before we can finish the floor. Dad got his surgical consultation and we now know he has to get a full hip replacement. He is in pain all the time but continues to work and help everybody out. I have been doing therapy on him but not enough to make anything last... poor dad I hate seeing him in pain and him trying to hide it from everybody... *sigh* he is so prideful!and stuburn. mom isn't much support, she wines and complains that he needs to get off his hip and get surgery now, but she doesn't exactly help him.... she has her own projects but I think she could help him a whole lot more than she does.... I mean for peats sake he is still working and paying all the bills..... the least she could do is work on him every night and help him with the floor.... he is her husband its her responsibility to be there in health and sickness! * she is not the model wife, but who am i to judge....* (as u can tell I'm annoyed and un-impressed with her lack of support when is come to house stuff)
In other news Debbie moved into her place, she had a painting and yard trimming party. We painted her entire inside of her house white! lol we did get alot done. and the back yard got alot of trees cut down. Her place still needs alot of work, but its coming together nicely.
We planted 6 new trees in the back yard at my parents place. We took 6 dead trees out and planted the new ones in the old spots. they look really nice.
Mom has been working on the rock garden it looks really nice. The yard is turning green, and the flowers in the porch look really pretty. * summer is finally showing its self to us!* ok I have caught myself up on most of the news... ahh Aunt Tami and kids came to visit in early May, I got alot of cute pictures of everybody. Amanda was also here for 10 days that was great, I really miss her!... *sigh* "sometimes I really wish I could be in multiple places at once" its late and Echoa has an early appointment.. love to All~ Dream Sweet~ TCaGB ~Julie~
