Stupid hips

Hey Everyone,
I know it's been a few weeks since I've blogged, but I needed a break after the waiting for the biopsy results.  It was very stressful waiting, I just needed some non-"c" word time.  I was attempting to be normal for a little while.  Okay, the being normal part wasn't very successful, so don't mock me out loud or in your heads!  The break from always thinking about this baloney was extremely needed.

I began my stress free time with Lee going to France for 5 days with his oldest son, Matt. Hahaha! 😂 They were there for the 75th anniversary of D Day.  Lee's dad had landed on Omaha Beach a few days after the initial wave and was a real life war hero!!  He earned a Purple Heart for injuries sustained and a Bronze Star for bravery.  Amazing, and I only wish I had had the distinct honor to meet my father-in-law.  Lee and Matt were able to follow some of the route that the original Bill Teicholz took while serving in the war zone.  What a great experience for both of them and some day I hope to be well enough to return with Lee and to head into Germany to follow more of Lee's dad's footsteps and to meet Hans (my donor).

Then to further alleviate my stress, Sadie, aka devil dog, aka cujo, aka bitch, went to the kennel while Lee was away. Phew, it was so relaxing.  Jimmy (our other dog) and I smiled with glee for the break from her highness.  Oh, did I tell you that we found her in a tree?  Yes, that is right, she jumped into the Y on a tree in order to catch a squirrel.  She also recently destroyed my prescription eyeglasses.  GRRR!!!!

I bet you are wondering about my stupid hips.  Well, they hurt really friggin' bad.  They are actually getting so uncomfortable, that it's becoming difficult to raise my leg to get into Lee's Grand Cherokee. Sleeping is not very comfortable, because every time I try to move, the pain wakes me up. One night I think I woke Lee up with my groaning and not in a good way. 😏 I can't wait for next month when I go back to Boston to have the bone density test done.  I'm praying that they can give me a shot or meds or something to help with this discomfort.  I'm also praying that it isn't something more serious than just some bone softness that can be corrected.  It's always something! LOL!

Here's a link to an article about my husband's trip to Normandy.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!  I know I'll be thinking about my Dad tomorrow.

Peace out Peeps!
