Here are the pictures I promised of Beth

This is me and Beth comparing wounds. She's complaining about three little stiches. I am split from hip to hip with who knows how many stitches.If you look close, you can see that I'm holding my last drain in my hand.

This is after the doctor put three stitches in her pinky. And it wasn't pretty. She opted to get a tetnus shot too! She was amazing thru the whole thing.This is right before they came in to prep her for her minor surgery!

She took this pic herself in the back seat of the car on the way to Kaiser. I wanted to drive her, but since I had taken my pain meds, Sandford jumped in and insisted that he drive. We all got there in one piece, BUT JUST BARELY! He almost rolled my car! Bad Sandford!

Another Day of Overdoing it!

Hal took me shopping at the Chino Hills Shoppes today. I was so glad I took my walker. I wouldn't have been able to make it through the day without it. Hal kept making fun of me and calling me GRANDMA! Then he threatened to take my walker away and make me walk home if I didn't behave myself!Here he is checking out at SunPac. He got fantastic deals on new clothes. I'm very proud of him that he is a very good shopper that knows how to spot a deal.

Then we headed over to Home Depot to buy some lumber. He is helping Sandford put our new garage door up and it hasn't been easy. (Nothing ever goes easy for us but that's life)

The majority of the 2 x 6 's were wet and I made him keep digging through the stacks of wood looking for a piece that was dry and straight. Not an easy task. He was very tolorable and a good sport with my pickiness. (I think we'll keep him)

Latest Pics of My TT

This is a picture of me and Maria. She is such a sweetheart. She took care of me during my last surgery too. She works for my dr. and was by my side during both surgery's as she is an operating room nurse. She also calls me several times a day to check on how I am doing.

I now have a hole in my side. I have to keep it clean so I don't get an infection!The nurse at my Drs. office, Maria, cutting the stitches that were holding the drainage tube in. Yes, it did hurt a bit.

This is a close up of what my scar looks like 6 days post op.

This is my nurse, Dan, who was assigned to me at the surgery center. He wouldn't let me leave until he personally watched me pee! But it's okay, he was an Offpring and Korn fan!
