Whew - what a day!

The day started off with getting up early to take David up to Luke AFB to have his cast removed. But first we stopped at Starbucks to wake us up! Dominic, who works there, asked to sign David's cast. David took that as a good omen. We get to the base and they have moved the orthopedic clinic! After finding it, we had his cast removed. It looked funny!! Then it was off to x-ray to see how the bone is coming along. Here is where things get interesting. The x-ray showed that the break is healing but there is still quite a gap. The Major wanted to put another cast of for another 2 weeks. However, after pushing and moving his arm around, he decided that David seems to be doing okay and a brace will suffice. To yet still add to the excitement, apparently David did also break his ulna styloid. So yes - he actually broke 2 bones! That one is healing okay as well. CRAZY! So we have the brace/splint on and go back in 4 weeks.
After leaving the base, David called his best friend Andrew who just arrived this morning from Alaska. So we swung by the airport to say hello and ended up going to lunch. I just love that kid to death! He's one of my own. And his mom Bonnie is wonderful. I got to meet her hubby for the first time and I like him too!





Finally made it in to work at about 1:00. Had my mid-year review at 3:00 which went very well. I do love my job and team, but gosh I wish I had more $$! LOL

I am exhausted as I was up late last night working on my paper that was due. It wasn't a difficult paper, I just didn't have the time to get it done! (Okay, okay - so some of it was because I was lazy!)

I am feeling really bummed about not going to the reunion on Saturday. It is also Grandma's memorial service. But I won't get into that right now. I'm actually mad that I am not going. Oh well.

I will finish off the email with pix of my darling puppies who are now 3 weeks old! Can you believe it??
