A long recovery
Sorry for the lack of posts but life, you know. We’ve been traveling plenty, but primarily to PT appointments. Three times a week, to be exact. It became much more manageable when Amanda started driving a few weeks ago. She hit the 90-bend mark with her knee, but it took a while. Going down to…

Home and recovering
We are home, and Amanda is doing good. She isn’t as far along as we’d anticipated but still doing relatively well for having her bone sawed off and metal parts hammered on! I do have to say that was one of the worst hospital stays we’ve ever had, and we’ve had a lot. I’ll start…

Hospital Days and Nights
The overnight stay wasn’t the Marriott, but it wasn’t too bad either. To my surprise, my feet actually didn’t hang off the chair that pulled out into a bed. They did have to stick Amanda twice for labs early in the morning, a mess up on their part again. The medication issue carried over to…

Knee Replacement
We had to be at the hospital the day before surgery by early afternoon to get a lab the hospital missed. It didn’t take long to register and get the labs done. Then off to the hotel to get checked in. We don’t have a regular hotel here in San Antonio, but I’m brand loyal…

Un-fun Travels
First off, sorry for leaving you hanging with that last post. After a couple of long days of driving, I was tired! That coupled with being home, after working out of town away from home for nearly six months, I was enjoying my time at my own casa. I flew back to Iowa on Black…

A Deep Afternoon
We were up early for us, not phased by the extra hour, our usual vacation time guess. Once ready, we headed out to breakfast. A place recommended by the host as a must-try. They served breakfast and lunch only. A few couples were outside waiting to be seated; the off-season made no difference in it…

A Sketchy Drive
We were up leisurely but still had alarms set. It would be a full day in the car but not a 12-hour Yellowstone day drive. So we needed to be out in the morning, just not too early. As Amanda made coffee, I started the car to warm up. I met our host as I…

A Mountainous Day
We woke to a snow-covered field and Mountain view this morning. I finally moseyed out of bed and down to the living room next to the wood stove. I’d planned ahead and took the remote for the stove with me to bed. As soon a I woke, I turned it on. The room temp on…

Here Comes the Snow
I could get used to these views here from our cabin! We had a great location in Wyoming, but trees covered most of our view of the river and mountain. Here we have a distant view overlooking the mountains through pastures. I much prefer this broader view. I was up with a cup of coffee,…

Keeping it Local
With no alarms set, we slept in, waking to a fantastic view from our loft master bedroom. When in I rustled, Amanda was pointing, saying look! I worked on catching up on multiple posts while Amanda made us lattes. She began work on the puzzle she didn’t finish in Wyoming, keeping large pieces intact the…
