First...me. :-) Finally got some insight into what has been happening with my back. The attached photo with the dark, marble like thing at the bottom left of the cursor is a herniated disc in my lower back. Doc said normally straight to surgery but because it was lighter color, it possibly could be reabsorbed so now stretching, going to physical therapy and had an injection of steroids to shrink the nerve and hernia. Hoping for the best! Happened to run into my neighbor at the Dr. office who sells back braces--he hooked me up with one that night that seems to be helping stretch things out.
Wonderful conference weekend in Idaho! Loved seeing everyone and spending time with family. I got the barn cleaned out and did some tractor work plus ate cucumbers, tomatoes and squash from Mom's gardens as well as artisian bread and bowels of soup from the wonderful cooks there. Plums are ready for eating and thick enough to break branches. Also had the chimney shroud replaced as the old one was made of stucco and falling apart. With all the rain last night, comforting to know it was fixed and not leaking!
Dad and Mom are doing well. They picked me up in Logan (flew the plane up for annual) and we drove home to find the basement with water all over the floor. A sewer snake and some buckets took care of the problem.
Webbs all came to visit--we ate at least 5 full loaves of bread over the space of a conference session! Paula sent Larsen a watermelon (one he planted in the garden) at the MTC! No dumb cookies from a girlfriend.... Boston legally drives at night!
Jamie's updated photos on Facebook of her trip from Rome to Zagreb, Croatia via Venice--pretty cool!!! My roomies told me that a "nephew with a cute girl" stopped by to say hi over the weekend--Spencer, was that you?
Dan, Kent, Kai and Joe have been the great hunters....out at Grays Lake with bow and arrow on the prowl for bucks.
Shane's headed to Tuscon this week for more mission president training. Sounds like he's booked with travel until Christmas! Rest of the family's doing well.
Ben's battling a freak acid spill in one of his units that melted the mother boards but I think it's under control.
Hunters have their painted cupboard doors on with new cool handles! Paisley enjoyed her birthday! Michael was in Las Vegas at a car park convention--hoping for good things.
Don's been managing multiple shut downs at Monsanto--calling in Great Basin Industrial (Dan) to help with a project!
Frank and Melissa are celebrating their 10th Anniversary this week!!! (10/5/01) Congratulations!!!!!
