There always seems to be something going on around here. This last couple of weeks have been up and down....I'll have a good day and then a sub-par day. I now have an in home nurse assigned to me. Talk about a small world.....we found out that she went to school with our twins. Thank goodness she came to make her first visit with me Wednesday morning. My legs were so swollen it was hard to even move. She took one look at them and tested them for edema and made a call to one of her friends (another nurse) and discussed my situation. They both agreed that I should probably go to the emergency room to be evaluated. She then called my primary care doctor who agreed and called the emergency room so that they expected me. After spending the afternoon there, they discovered I had a blood clot in my right leg. So besides added medication, I now get two shots a day in my lower abdomen. My wife has now become a nurse because she has to give me the shots. I also have a compression sock that I have to wear on my left leg. It is a real chore to get that all the way up my leg. On top of all that I still seem to be having trouble helping my bladder get on a schedule. That has presented a whole new set of problems. Because of all these issues, visiting with friends and returning phone calls or emails are sometimes difficult. I really appreciate all your understanding. GO BEAVS!!!

GDDear Ron,
Thank you for the post. Sounds like you chose wisely when you hired the in-home nurse.
I know there is a lot going on in your life right now, but thanks for taking the time to share. I do check this site quite often, and appreciate you taking the time to update what, at times, is difficult to describe to such a wide audience.
I'll try to visit soon just to get a hug from you (& Kath, too). And, yes, "Go (6&0?) Beavs!!! I'll be watching tomorrow night and thinking about the last 40 or so years of rooting at Parker, never actually believing we could get to #8 in the country. To say I'm enjoying this would be a vast understatement.
Stay strong, my friend. You are my Hero.
