Got to love baseball....

I took the boys to the ball park yesterday to get some group shots of them together in their uniforms. Here are a few of my favorites.

What a Week...

What a week last week was. My poor Bug had the flu so I worked from home all week to take care of him. I realized that I couldn't be a teacher or home school my kids.



The trainer looked at Roo again last Monday and sent him for x-rays and then a MRI. Thankfully, he only has a crack in his growth plate and will not need surgery.

The doctors here love us....

Along with my medical issues, my Roo has a UCL injury. The trainer was able to look at him yesterday. Right now they are treating him as just a pull until after the weekend then they will re-evaluate him on Monday and if he hasn't improved, he will be schedule for a x-ray/MRI to rule out a more serious injury to the UCL. He cannot pitch for 1-2 weeks and can only do short plays and DH. He was not happy about this. He is already stressing about if he will get to play in their double header this Monday. He is also nervous about possibly have the MRI done. It's easy to tell him not to stress and worry about things you cannot control or may not happen, its another to actually do it.

So once again....the waiting game begins.

5 Week Check Up - More bad news

I went for my 5 week check up today hoping for good news. However, I heard the same story as always...just sooner than normal.

The doctor didn't like a certain spot around my incision area so I am being scheduled for another biopsy. Given my history of the cancer recurring, he was telling me about a new drug that has just been released. Just my luck, it's $50,000 for the 60 day treatment and insurance doesn't even cover half. So we can go ahead and write that option off. So it's back to the surgical option again. If I have to repeat the surgery, I am looking at having a skin graph done because of how they closed the last time.

I really don't know how I feel. I know that I am mad because I don't understand how they can miss some when they are checking it under a microscope throughout the process. I also realize how unlucky I am. The surgery is suppose to be 99%. I have had it twice in the same area and have been in the 1% both times. What are the chances? Really? The 3rd surgery should be free by now. One would think after 5 years, in the same area and as much as they have cut on me...they would have gotten it all by now.

So I am back to the waiting game to have the biopsy done and results back to see where I stand. I wonder if this is God's way of teaching my the patience that I pray so much for? It's in his hands, always have been. All I can do is pray.

Here is a pic of me at 5 weeks.

Baseball...Baseball...Baseball

Baseball is finally here!!!

Doug was gone last night drafting for Bug's 7 & 8 yr old league. It will be different this year as most of his friends got to move up because of their birthdays.

Hoping Roo and Bug both have a great season and have fun.

Roo played in his 1st high school game this past Monday night. They played a double header. He played 1st base, left and right field. He even got to pitch. Doug and I were up against the fence. We still get nervous watching him pitch.

3 Weeks after Surgery....

Well, I am 3 weeks since my surgery. It is still red but it looks better than I thought it would. Also, I am suppose to be wearing this silicone sheeting over it for 8 hrs a day for the next 3 months. I haven't gotten them yet but planning on it this weekend. It is suppose to help reduce scaring. I am not sure it will work but I will try it. I am just glad that the majority of the scaring is in my hairline.

I still have the tingling sensation on that side. It feels like I have something heavy on that side of my face. I am hoping that this feeling will go away with time because I do not think that I can get use to it.

My next check up is the 1st of March and I am hoping that he will lift my restrictions then. I have got to be able to clean my house soon. My guys are trying their best but I'm such a control freak that if I don't do it....blah blah blah.
