Surgery!

Icon Leave Comment
Not sure how many of you know, but I had surgery yesterday. Basically, I had my bladder lifted a bit. It wasn't really the bladder, but the urethra that was put in a sling called a Monarc Sling. It's a relatively simple procedure, but did require general anesthesia.

I was really ticked, when I found out on Wednesday, that my surgery...

We have a thread on our forum with these letters from Aaron, but I know a lot of folks don't like forums, so I'm posting here what he wrote on the forum. Some things may not make sense, because he is responding to questions from other forum members.

The other night Aaron called me and told me a story about a bet with his Commander. I told him he REALLY had to write this stuff down, like he did when he was in Basic Training. I reminded him how much we enjoyed his journals and how well he wrote them. I reminded him that he's going to want to look back on these journals and remember this...

Bus trip to Miller Park (in Milwaukee)

Icon 2 Comments
Recently, I spent about 8 hours training on a new (to me) school bus. To keep it simple, it's a rear-engine Blue Bird. There's a LOT to this bus, and I must say it is really incredible to drive! The bus was bought specifically for longer trips, so when I was scheduled to go to Milwaukee, I was excited to drive this particular bus. ...

It's been a while!

I know I’ve said this before, but I’m not sure what’s going on here. I’m in a bit of a “funk” and just can’t seem to get out of it. I haven’t felt like writing and I haven’t felt like really “doing” anything. There’s tons of stuff I need to do, but I just can’t seem to bring myself to do them.

I know that a lot of this has to do with Aaron...

One year ago . . .

It was a year ago that I received the absolute WORST phone call one can ever receive . . . that a loved one (my dad) was dead. I can still remember that call and that day as clear as though it was yesterday and it ranks up there as one of the absolute worst days of my life.

Getting a phone call at 4 or 5 a.m. is never good, and I really...

So many milestones, today!

April 12 is always a day of reflection for me.

First and foremost, it is the day my first child was born! Aaron turned 19 years old today, which in and of itself is a miracle. You see, there's no way possible he's actually been on this earth for 19 years! There's no way that many years could have flown by so quickly, so...
