...................

So much!!!!!

Mishi is having ANOTHER surgery on June 17th. She still can not bend her knee. Gosh darn it! So, on Thursday they will be doing several things. First the button on her knee cap that was used to hold the donor ligament..... it needs to come out. It has moved and when she does her knee slides, her knee is popping. The button is rubbing on the bone. Second, they need to remove all the scar tissue. They think she makes scar tissue very fast and it has scar tissued shut. Plainly........ it is STUCK! Third, they are going to manipulate her knee. Meaning they are just going to bend it! She will be in the hospital overnight again as these procedures are very painful. We just want to get it over and done with!! Then starting on Monday she will again be going to physical therapy 5 days a week. We originally had vacation planned for the beginning of July. BUT, since we have had such a problem with this knee, we are not going. We need to be VERY serious of getting this knee working properly! But so sad that we can't go see LaDonna and family!!!! :-( On the good note, we are possibly getting our hot tub back! Mishi is doing some therapy in a whirlpool and the physical therapist has suggested finding one that Mishi can get in on a daily basis. SOOOOO.... we have decided to pursue getting a hot tub again, and it is looking like we just might be able to get ahold of our old one. YEAH! Not only will it help Mishi, but I'm hoping it will help my pain as well. Then Roger has truck driver back. Are we falling apart or what???

Since we can not go on vacation, we have still decided to take our days off. Jessica, Marley (Jessica's puppy) and Taylor will be coming and visiting us. And we have some plans made. Painting, quilting, garden, yard and just plain being lazy..................

Last night Roger and I went to Hays and got patio stones to start making a place for the hot tub. We then met Mom, Dad and Mishi for supper. (Mishi was spending the night and going to church this morning with them.) What a nice time we had... just visiting. Then this coming weekend they are going to Wichita to help Jenny and family pack/move. Even sounds like they are getting Courtney and Cody for the weekend too. It will be so good for them to see them. It sure has been awhile!

Jessica and Gabe went to Oklahoma this weekend. They went to spend time with Kevin and Amanda. (Gabe's brother and sister in law) Sounded like the had lots crammed in the weekend. Bet they had a GREAT time.
