Last night Dean was making himself some ramen noodles, and after putting the noodles on a plate, he slipped and bumped the glass bowl he’d cooked them in into a drinking glass, shattering the lip of the drinking glass. It wasn’t a large part of the glass that was broken, but the pieces were [...]
My house is clean (kind of — as much as it ever is,) the dishes are done and counters wiped, my laundry is mostly done and folded and put away, my pantry is well-stocked, the kids are bathed and in bed (as of 10:00 PM — the best I could pull off tonight.) I [...]
My brain’s sort of drifting in and out of clear thinking since I’m tired from taking the kids swimming for 2 hours this morning, but I just wanted to say that: Dean’s not hiccuping anymore (other than a random “hic” here or there,) and we both got a good night’s sleep last night. [...]
When Dean’s hiccups had subsided a couple of hours ago, his pain medication had also started wearing off and his foot had started hurting. He took more medication, and about 15 minutes later the hiccups started back up with a vengeance. We do NOT know what he will do — he’s clearly in [...]
After trying a few different things — including the stretchy wrap used for packing — we’ve found that masking tape wrapped liberally works best for holding a bag of ice on a bulky, slippery cast.
After Dean came out of surgery yesterday I noticed he had hiccups that would come and go. Well, last night [...]
The surgery was to take 1 to 1.5 hours — it took just over 2.5 hours. The doctor said it was the worst he’s done in his 20 years of practice — from what he said, I think the thing that made it worst was that Dean’s soft tissues were so tough that the doctor [...]
Dean is having foot surgery tomorrow to correct a bunion. Then he’ll be in a cast and not supposed to put weight on his foot for 6 weeks, then a “boot” for 2-4 more weeks. I have spent the last few days (ever since the consultation with the doctor on Friday, I guess) [...]
Isaac is back from camp. We missed him more than he missed us. I guess it wasn’t very nice to tell him that I missed him most when I needed a new roll of paper towels brought up from the basement — but we also told him how many times, when we were gathering [...]
and I’ve just barely caught up on reading friends’ blogs that I have listed in Google Reader. And I haven’t caught up on any websites or group blogs that I like to frequent. (Not that I’m going to try.) Mostly, this tells me I spend too much time on the Web.
(But thanks, [...]
My mom asked about the connecting flight we missed (which I mentioned in my last post) and although that story’s from the end of our trip, and I haven’t said much yet about the first parts of the trip, I guess I can go ahead and answer her question.
The connecting flight we missed was on [...]
