Update & August Ornament~~Finished

Can you believe it! I actually got my August Ornament done early…to be honest it was really suppose to be my July entry but I did not get it done until August. It has been such a crazy summer that I just let time get away from me.

Rick has his back surgery July 17th and the herniation was much, much larger than expected. I am guessing that it had started wrapping around his syatic nerve and that is why he was loosing the feeling in his leg and toes. His recovery has been longer than we were anticipating. The doctor thought he was going to make it out to our county fair but that did not happen. Rick was EXTREMELY UPSET because he missed Doug showing his sheep. The good thing is that he is showing them at IN State Fair this week/weekend. Rick is doing so much better and has been able to be here for these shows. So if any of you Indiana people you can come see us in the Sheep Barn…we are in Section 18 pens 1-9 until tomorrow early afternoon. Doug got a 4th out of 9 with his Registered Suffolk ewe lamb Snowball!

I have had an extremely rough month. The medicine I was on for my knees caused my liver enzymes to go up so they took me off of it and OH MY GOSH…HORRIBLE PAIN!!!! I made another appointment with my knee doctor in Indianapolis and he gave me an injection today for my knee. He is also treating my shoulder and did not want to do another injection so I went for an MRI. I should have those results on Monday or Tuesday. He is thinking since my shoulder is not much better from March that I might have some kind of tear. Thank goodness they MRI place was able to get me in today so I did not have to drive back up to Indy next week. If comes back that I do not have a tear the doctor is going to allow me to use a facility in Bloomington to have the injection.

Stitching news I have not done a whole lot just the monthly ornaments for my ILCS Yahoo Group.

May Ornament Monthly Challenge~~Finished

Well I finished my May ornament on Wednesday May 28. Nothing like posting it with just an hour and a half before the deadline, at least it did get posted. Hopefully the June ornament will go a lot faster for me. We have been extremely busy.

Oh…oh, oh, Oh guess what we did today. I got a new used SUV. I got a 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT 4WD. I was so ready to trade off my van; it was just too much especially with the 3rd row seat. It just made it too long and hard to maneuver in a parking lot. Doug also got a new truck today. He got a 1997 Ford F-250 XLT Regular Cab 4WD. Boy you would have thought Rick & I were it…he was so EXCITED!

I also when shopping with a really dear friend today for and outfit for my grandparents memorial on June 16 @ Bradford Woods. We had such a wonderful day. We went to go to a scrapbook shop in Carmel, IN and it had closed. Oh well I guess that save me some money but Stephanie had a gift card that she wanted to spend that she had gotten for Christmas. Girl’s days out our so much fun & so need. I found a great outfit at JCPenneys!
