Not Again

Some good news on Becky. At here doctors visit last week we were able to hear the baby's heart beat. This means she has a less than 1% chance of a miscarriage. I have decided that I am going in full hockey gear to her next appointment. Mel has now gone from kidney blows to shin kicks. She is so giddy to be there with us and to experience what we are experiencing that she can hardly contain herself. The good news is that any bruising does heal quite fast.

We got to see my Aunt last week as well. It's always fun to see Aunt Liz and Victor. Wish they could have stayed longer but unfortunately their stay was short. My Mom even came by for a visit last week. So if you saw a red Cadillac that was creeping 10-15 mph below the speed limit on the highway I hoped you waved. My Mom prefers that over the honking horns. Last but not least I had dinner with my Dad tonight. He came into town to give me moral support.

Did I mention that tomorrow (or today depending on when your reading this) I will be having hernia surgery. Yeah yeah I know what your thinking, it must be from the hockey or from the weightlifting. I say its from the baby making! At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. It's something that has been bothering me all year long and I have grown tired of living with it and it's time to get it fixed. My job interviews have picked up and some opportunities have started to open, so it is better that I go ahead and get it taken care of now before I get an offer and start working. So I should be down and out for one week and then back to the living. As for hockey and weightlifting . . . looks like 4-6 weeks for that one.

I leave it to my wife to embarrass me again and post pictures of me in the not so best of conditions from the pain medications. By the way if you come to visit Tuesday night, I am not responsible for the songs I may start singing to you. As I now have a history of doing this.
