You would think that I'd be writing my blog more often seeing how I have been out for 9 months now with my ACL recovery but I don't feel as though I have anything to really write about. I'm doing better though I think I'm far from 100%. I was doing well until May/June when the pain returned and my scars are still extremely sensitive. I am so self conscious about going out anymore because I can't shave my legs :( I also went from being able to stand for an hour to now being so tired after about 45 mins that I'm out for another 45 before i feel like I can stand up again. If we go grocery shopping I can't do anything the next day. I'm also having some really strange pains in my right hip and thigh. Its almost like I cant seem to build up the muscle mass again. It refuses to get stronger :P But I see a second opinion on the 23 and hopefully he will have more answers for us.
We stopped trying for a child when I fell and have only recently had the ability to do so again. Reggie has been working in the meat department now for almost a year and he truly enjoys it. Its allowed us to catch up on bills and get ahead just a bit to where I feel comfortable with us trying again. We're hoping to have good news by December. That is our goal with out really being a goal. I am trying to follow everyone's advice and forget about it and just let it happen. Its proving to be easier than I thought and nicer not to feel like we HAVE to do the Baby Dance on a specific time frame. I feel good about it too. We've had a few close calls where I thought I was but then Mother Nature showed up and spoiled our party :(
Also we've begun to plan a trip out to Utah for next October. I find myself homesick more and more and more lately. I miss the mountains and the "good" air. I've also found that I miss everyone there and hope that I'll be able to reconnect with a few friends and see there little ones and HOPEFULLY show off our new addition. We'll see where things go from here. Though come H**l Or High Water I will be in Utah next year. I've already plotted the route and done up an estimate. We'll be able to Drive out there in about a day and a half and only need about 700 dollars for food and gas. Now we just need to sweet talk some relatives/friends for a couch or floor to crash on :)
The dogs are great. Draka has grown into a wonderful dog and still looks as cute as she did when she was a puppy. Bear gave us a scare about 2 months ago. We were going out for a family walk and he ended up having 6 seizures in under 30 mins then had another 4 or 5 on the way to the vet. Thankfully he calmed down when we got to go back to the vet and have him checked out. He's on meds now but they seem to be effecting his breathing which saddens me. I fear I may lose him in the coming months. Molly is still rambunctious and crazy. You'd never guess she was 7 years old. Our cat Ash got better for a few months but he's gone back to pulling out his fur and scratching until he's raw. It makes me sad but he doesn't appear to be in pain or discomfort ( I would be with all the scabs but he seems content and happy. Though I'm keeping an eye on him everyday) Cricket is now and out door cat because he refused to use the litter box but he seems like he's a better house cat now that we let him out at night.
I think that is about everything that has happened over the last how ever long its been since I wrote last. I hope to write more about our journey in life and keep some sort of record for myself.
